    Few pages back David



    Welded in at the lowest point, this will take the wagner intercooler and flat floor.

            Nice work, I'm getting pretty good at straight line stuff in ali, but I must admit I need more practice on circular stuff.

            Where did you get the big lens from? I've just ordered something similar from here

            Prices are pretty good but postage is expensive so I waited and ordered a few things.

              you should try one of these too:-



              The CK superflex cable is so light and flexible you almost don't know it's there, so much better than the std RTech cable

                Thanks Andy, i must admit my work where i can sit and use the work bench is much better. I am now proficient in upside down back to front and left handed welding. Chassis fabrication is at every angle!

                I've mentally just spent £200

                This is the cups i brought

                I've been putting off getting a CK torch i brought a speedglas instead. I must say its made a massive difference i would highly recommend one. Rapid weld deliver to my friend i get my gas from maybe i will stick one on order. Is that the one you have?

                  I havn't got that one yet, they do a 150amp version, which for some reason is only about £60. I bought that one just to see if it was any good, now I know how good they are I'll get the full 200amp one

                    I've ordered one. Lets see how i get on with that. Really need a water cooler as well, But i dont do enough AC work to really warrant it.

                      So dampers were sorted on the front and rear again.

                      Had to remove the dead stroke and machine my own cylinder tops with a O ring to get them to work with the new lower COG of the front

                      They are now rocking Ohlins internals.

                      Springs have been changed i have gone up front and rear.











                      Note. Eibach springs

                                Don't buy Ast!

                                Your have to sort them and Dyno them your self. Buy Ohlins.

                                A shameless plug for Jay @DMD had to drop this out with the dampers. 6 bolts and its straight to the floor. Off to be powder coated white and the diff pre load re shimmed as its worked its way loose.
