    Anyone know who wellens works for lol

    Car looks immense, those plastic saddles are a nice touch though, nice and easy to remove the hoses if you need too.

          Lol. Tbh I wouldn't take the comment too seriously. From a install point of view it could look tidier but it's in no way dangerous or anything.

              It's sooooooooooooo good, what an acheivement, what a thread, what a car. Well done that man. (I would have chosen P clips over cable tie saddles too )

                Cable tie saddles = lightweight and economic
                p-clips = medium weight and middle priced
                billet clamps = heavy and expensive

                Which one is best to use, all of them depending what your end target is. Personally I would've hardlined everything only fitting braided for short spans where flex is required. Using p-clips. Not because it's the right or wrong way to do it but even braided lines flex under pressure so for ultimate feel and response a hardline is the way to go. In the same token I wouldn't have embarked to build such a car on my own at home and therefore would not even have gotten as far as fitting the lines in the first place

                Looking forward to the dyno now

                          I remember seeing this project on edition38 first, and sitting there thinking I can't wait to see this thing finished, so well done for sticking with and seeing it through, what a beast!

                          Everyone has different opinions and thats why we all like tweaking / tuning our cars......if the brake lines are the only thing that isn't unanimously loved on this car I think you've nailed it

                                Done some more work to the car lately.

                                Started off with making a front splitter. Big thanks to Keith Edwards for the plastic!







                                Next I made a new steering set up as the standard set up doesn't have a UJ and had ended up too high. Also finished off the raised floor for the pedals





                                Today I finally got the rear oil cooler plumbed in, and set the tracking.








                                Car is being mapped on tuesday. So hopefully all being well I will have some good news to report. I have the week off work so aiming to get it MOT'd and on the road!
