    Fit a quick rack and sort out my cooling issues. Ready for some more abuse in the new year.

    Nothing as exotic as yours Colin ,I have just made some wet lay carbon kevlar wings and front bumper ,hopefully they will take a knock better than the fibreglass ones ,they engine is going 1800 with a few more tweaks here and there ,the gearbox I am keeping an eye out for a sequential ,but they are just so expensive for a fwd ,the Sadev looks favourite but I think it is going to cost around 8 k to get it in the car so I might just end up with the F20

    Excellent, I shall look forward to seeing progress as it develops. I must have a word with you about gearboxes anyway. Did you speak to Ben Spencer regarding Sadev's?

    Bin the projector headlights, wheel alignment & back on the rollers to have the mixture set since the engine changes. Other than that just glad it runs after a spate of fuel leaks & a coil throwing its final spark literally as I reached the top of my road after a ten mile drive at night.
