Right; my biggest update so far I think.
First up, the softstars were too poncy for my needs, so they had to go. They were replaced by a set of cav gsi rims, with brand new Toyo T1s wheels. Wheels were taken to local bodyshop and painted;
So it now looks like this; much more hardcore!
Right, off we go over to FPE to have the rollcage fitted.. loads of pics; I think it's obvious from the picture as to what's going on so I'll leave out the commentary
Cage and strut brace all fitted
Mark wasn't happy with all the welds on the cage; so redid alot of them; this meant that once it was in place I had to repaint it; and the back of my car...again!
...and the finished article (no daylight pics I'm afraid)
Another pair of cav gsi rims came up cheap; ie. free so I thought it'd be rude not to upgrade those to be my trackday rims. Also, a pair of R888s came up cheap that same day so off I went to collect. I got them fitted the following day; cav gsi rims look bland in silver though so a rattle can of satin black later and we have this
Up next, battery relocation. I got the battery box cheap too
(notice a theme here? LOL)
but I'm not into red, so that got dose of satin black paint also, with some yellow detailing
Mount securely in boot:
Battery starts like this:
To move it, you need this:
Distribution block and negative terminal mounted:
Battery in place with HUGE ground wire, lol
Engine bay now looks like this: (tray will be removed at some point)
Check the charge... voltage meter it say yuusss very good charge
...and then put to bed in its box
Alloy bottom pulley still to fit; doing that tomorrow
