    Cheers Rich, hopefully some updates coming soon, just ordered some custom rear coilovers so I'd expect we will see some tubes in the rear next.

    nice work. is the 2.2 block open deck? do you have much strengthening done to it? i am getting a forged engine built this year and running a Gtx3076r but trying to decide if i should use a z20leh block and wedge it or use a c20xe block as its closed deck then just get under piston oil jets fitted.

    Yes it's open deck but wedges have been installed to strengthen it.
    The z20let block is stronger and a lot cheaper than the leh but the c20 being closed deck would certainly be stronger again.

    simply the sole reason for me building mine with a c20 is just for the closed deck

    The later block are cast from CGI material, the bores do not wear as badly as the XE/CLET block so wedging a later open deck or a closed deck XEV block would be the better option.

    Were did you get that front piece made is it a mould you took or an off the shelf thing .
    My friend has his own carbon fibre shop he did alot for ginetta racing and that would look so nice in carbon fibre i wont to make one is there away of a mould or the place to buy the piece from.
    Obviously if its your mould we would pay to use it and give you a free carbon one also.

    Carbon roof skins is something I'm looking to do myself, hoping to get my hands on a new skin soon to make a mould from
