Its something i am looking into tbh. Think its got to be worth it, will be speaking to steve at some stage.

[The Simps]

Hope this all goes to plan Rick, be good to see it running and you enjoying it on track.

[The Simps]

Ref: rear turrets. Is it worth getting Jay to weld them in when doing the cage (might even do it for free!) not from a clearance perspective but for strength?

[rc]

looking forward to seeing this project take shape... again

[fennyLET]

Arr. it was to do with that little misshap.

[spanishfly]

Good luck Rick. Should be great fun when working

[Jack]

Ah, a nice new thread!

Good luck Rick, will be interesting seeing this take shape.

[Frisco]

Good to see things are getting sorted anyway. Looking forward to the progress

[alistairolsen]

Hope this one goes well rick, get it turreted as the cage is put in, only way to do it right really.

[Benn]

Love that cage, does the dash still fit with the chicken bar in? Hope the tank and pipes are comming off as a just in case.
Glad your gonna put the let to work too.

[nrj]

[Ste L]

[SLICKCORSA]

Hi rick Good luck with the build this time, can i ask where you got the individual coils from and what engine management are you using.

i am only running standard engine with home made throttle bodies but like the idea of individual coils.

keep up the good work

[Rick Draper]

The coils are LS1 coils iirc.

Thanks everyone. Should have some good progress over the next few weeks all been well.

[KeithRobinson]
