Yeah they would!
Maybe a worthwhile venture! I'd have one lol.

getting really close, now, a list of minor things, few of which stop it hitting the circuit very shortly.
Not a mile away from being MOT ready either!





a few grommets need painting to fill the parking sensor holes and front washer holes.


Started on the book, which is very good

Mark, do you have a picture of where you mounted the bolts for the aero catches on the bonnet? I've got a set I'd like to fit and have been pondering over where to mount them.

Holes in the back may help it to stop acting like a big parachutey piece of plastic

Hi Mark, nice to see my old project is finally going to get finished and get on the track, god knows how many changes it went through, I even gave it away at one point, then got it back . Good luck with it and hope it brings you success, maybe see you if you are at some of the Cockshoot rounds this year.

Plus it's a long time since I posted on here as well lol...

little update;

had been considering a shakedown of the car tomorrow, so this afternoon I got the last major outstanding jobs done:

fitting 2 cheap ebay in car heaters/fans as the car does not have a heated screen and all the heater/fans were stripped out to save weight.
These things appeared to be pretty naff, but I was surprised on a little test run how much heat these actually provide! The fans are useless and it will need some tweaking of the angles to be any use at clearing the screen, and the brackets are utter junk and both broke before they were even fitted, but I was going to brace these anyway as you don't want anything attacking your head when out on circuit.

The car goes OK, its too cold and slippy out and tracktion even in 2nd gear was difficult, but it revs to 7400ish on the rev counter, prob a real 7300 tho.

It blew a fuse as soon as I put the left indicator on, I think its somehow linked to the indicator relay, another job on the snagging list!

Z & F remapped ecu fitted, from a ZR170 race car

Refusing to pay a packet for a 2-button sparco steering wheel thingy, and noticing how high they position their buttons, I decided to make a couple, and add a couple more buttons which can be used at a later date for data logging or anything else.

Need to drop in some different coloured buttons to help identify whats what, but you get the idea with all red buttons...
