Yeah funzy, thats next. I'd like to fit a Capel motorsports diffuser, but atm I'm just going to flatten it out under the ass from the diff back, get a decent angle and smooth up the airflow a little. thats going to happen in the next couple of weeks. the budget datto is starting to take shape. :cheers:

if you get some bits sorted i can nock you up a set when you come try these wheels on.

phew , i thought it looked horrible in the first pic , looks much better in them! , how far under the car does the front diffuser go?

its 700mm deep, so back to the swaybar. 5 inches past the bar at the front, 4 inches at the sides

been tinkering on my car getting it ready fo a tune.

one thing thats been bugging me was how untidy all the wiring looked on top of the throttle boddies, so i made up a carbon cover for it

That cover looks the goods man. Did you just make a flat piece of carbon then cut to suit?

Well I've almost got everythimg bolted on my engine ready to drop it in hopefully next weekend. Spent today modifying the external oil drain as it didn't clear the rear dump pipe so had to change the bottom 45degree fittings to 2 90degree ones and now it's sweet. Put the last few things back in the engine bay and got that tidy ready for the engine. Now all thats left is finish the turbo oil/water lines, oil drains, set up the timing, put the clutch on and drop it in. Then comes the fun part of connecting everything......

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
