Update 29-06-15

Car is now back on all four wheels and rolling.

Clutch all bled

ABS system has been removed now and brakes re-bled

Rear spat has been removed and cut back to accept the new KO Racing exhaust

All custom things left to do: Syvecs installation / Wiring in to cabin for gauges and switches / launch control harness / coil pack harness / intercooler pipe work and a few other bits.

Then off for M.O.T after that.

I have entered for TOTB this year (July 26th) so goning to be cutting it mighty fine and might end up using the day more of a testing day than competing.

Update: 17-08-15

Well as some may already know I didn't make TOTB this year due to some parts being delayed etc etc..

New aim is to make the IMOC stand @ JAE September though!

Some of the oil adaptor kit finished, Oil pressure sensor fitted and Syvecs bolted in place.

Hi All,

05/09/15

With only 4 working days before JAE I think the car will not be done :(

Syvecs wiring is nearly 100% and engine still needs to be turned over for the first time, Intercooler piping needs mocked up and fabricated, Also car needs MOT'd so I very much doubt I will make it next week.

But id rather miss another event and make sure the car is 100% :thumleft:
