You'll be needing a bigger garage soon Andy

Did you try de pinning the coil plug mate to see if the old pins are the same?

Not yet, I was going to leave everything alone until the ECU arrives as I want to keep the car mobile. It would probably make sense to check first though

Hey stranger, good to see you are still kicking!

Thanks, I will give it a hack up and see what it looks like.

I might take you up on that, body work is not my forte

Oh im still kicking!!! took a bit of a sabatical to sort out a few things but back in the game now!!

S2 is coming along nicely! And like i said happy to lend a had on the arches if you want to get creative!!

[andy10v]

looking good man. Iv been looking at widening the arches on the 90 to get the front wheels under as they stick out about an inch.
This is a reasonable way to do it with keeping a stock looking outer edge, im not sure how well this would lend itself if you don't have a flat spot to extend.

Looks reasonable, if time consuming, I will give it a watch when I get home.

How is your car prep going for Knockhill?

Thanks gents.

How ya doing fella.....

You thought about this technique? couple of choice placed cuts , pull the arch outwards, tack in a spacer, gives you a slight blown arch without lowering the arch. Done it a few times and to be honest its a bit of suck it and see. it sometimes looks great and sometimes not so much......

Happy to lend a hand if need be.

Ordered another SRE clutch, COP loom + wiring goodies is coming next week with an ABY rack.

[andy10v]

Heated windscreen arrived



Had a brief re think about the wing, montauto said he used 2 wings, but welded together

[andy10v]

Had a brief mess about in the garage with an old coupe wing trying to be able to get some more rubber under the arches.















This is just adding a stock arch onto a stock arch, which does move it out, but also down, some extra clearance would be added as you could cut off the vertical face of the original wing. Looks a bit weird though, as it lowers the arch and the wheel tucks up.

So I would rather use 100 s4 arches like Jim Green, wide, stock height, stock radius.





Messing about did bring home that the bumper will have to be modified, not just bent out as I thought I might be able to bodge.

Still hoping to get the wide body panels from Rocco, but need a pallet price first.
