What paint did you use on the interior to black it out?
looks great!!!

[ZS Phil]

I'm not sure what paint it is exactly but it just looks like regular automotive paint. If you got in touch with SW motorsport I'm sure they would be happy to tell you

Superb Phil,
Its really taking shape.

you nicked my colour scheme for the inside. Got both gloss and satin black plus a litre of kawasaki green for cage etc.

things have stalled a little with me at moment, still waiting for brakes :-(

throttle body off being bored out but hoping to get a crack on with stichingwelding the rear end over the next 2 weeks so i can get it all painted.

be good to get some track time next year.

i have done both 4 and 2 wheel race school and cant recommend them enough, its amazing how you can strip seconds off lap times yet it feels like you are driving slower !

cheers

Honestly, your car is an inspiration. I would love to see it in action sometime, it will be an absolute weapon once its done.

In terms of the colour scheme, there was never a choice to make, lime green all the way! Just a little nod at the ZS's racing pedigree I suppose.

Cheers Luke, I hope to get it to a show at some point .


This has just reminded me, I need to update this thread as things have happened since!

[ZS Phil]

So, Blyton Park happened before we went away in the TD on our road trip.

The car is simply awesome, I wont ramble on about what could keep up and what couldn't but I'm over the moon with the results of the changes over stock. It's a different beast.

A few more tweeks before the track day...

De-wipered:







Old discs...

A quick video which Adam Baxter took.

It was a pleasure to meet him that day before he was taken all too soon. Such a nice guy with such love and passion for these cars. We've lost a good one, RIP mate.

All I can say, is WOW!!!

Such attention to detail and getting everything built and fitted.

Glad it went as well as you wanted and bet it turned a few heads on track.

Well done on a great build and thanks for putting all the pics and words up here. I hope we will see it in the flesh sometime.

Great sound and looks the Biz.

As you say, great loss.
