Productive weekend was good,
As simon said we have got the donor car fully stripped bar the fuel tank which ill take out during the week. We will be deleting the undercar/stock fuel tank and installing an in car fuel sell in the boot along with a surge tank setup and battery box for the relocation.

We do have a problem though, these bora wheels were powdercoated and they powdercoated the hub so now the wheels are stuck on and we cant for the life of us get them off! its pretty funny really but we just cant remove 2 of them

On the exhaust side, yep simon said it just a 3" straight pipe with one muffler/resonator. ****s gonna be loud and raspy but it will be good.
Its not going to be a pretty/shiney exhaust itll just be 3" mild steel unless we can get an aluminium one made up cheap for less weight

Oil cooler will be a good idea! hadnt actually though of that yet thanks for mentioning it.

Remember track cars still have noise limits and they are pretty anal about it. So just be careful its not too loud. And also mufflers help produce torque which is what you should be chasing to pull you out of the corners.

Thanks woody, actually just remembered sam mentioning something about a db rating! Ah yeah definitely will be needing to maximise torque alot of track time is in braking and accelerating out of corners.

Anyone know what car you get 3.94's out of and if there are any that you can get 4.11's out of?
