cheers for the comments peeps, i'm sure it will feel different, but not that much, just take a bit of getting used to i guess, and i have a feeling i'll enjoy that

bought some ex touring car slutty-ness

its from a williams renault laguna super tourer
so, first off i made these brackets, riv nuts and all!

its two piece, so the back screws on

then the smallest dzus fastners in the world hold it together!

all done

got one of these on the way to fill it

i run SBD 304 and 298 cams, still on hydraulics

Ј600 including cams sound good, does that include new guides?
tbh i'm not too sure cams are that worthwhile unless you get big enough ones to need to add pockets in the pistons

best bit so far turned up yesterday

found that touring car site as matt bought some suspension off him and he used to post on racecar.com

and yeah, the crash has sparked me into action, but i had planned to do this before it happened, should have done it when i first built it really, but ran out of time

lol, should be too bad tbh, got to make an analogue harness for it, but if i upgrade my ecu at a later date i can 'can' link it to that
its a lovely bit of kit though, loads of inputs/warnings, programmable rev scroll across the top of the display, prgrammable shift lights andits got a blue backlight
