The Counts Track Day Nova Build

With a clean up going on (and the fact the car was now taking up more space) i shifted the engine from behind the car to the engine stand so i could start tidying it up

Once the primer had dried on the cage i had a play with it in the car ready to make up some spreader plates

This pretty much funked my turret top plans - rethink needed as they don't meet the turret were i expected they would....:mad:

Or was it there lol notice the attempt to take a pic of the car in the back ground

And the front - it fits well

Stone chip is really good stuff and worth doing imo. Not sure what you mean another diagonal? :confused:

ie a cross so it intersects the one youve just put in, i never did but asthetically more pleasing lol

I thought thats what you meant (a cross diagonal lol) i think i will leave it as it is i don't need any more weight!!! :eek:

looking good.

That's looking awsome now mate, really good job on the turrets, are you waiting till the beam is back on the shell for the possition of the shock, so you can drill the hole?

Scott

Hi Scott i'm waiting on a couple of things - firstly the fact i don't have any rear coil overs yet!!!!!! And i wanted to know how the cage was going to sit before going a head. They will be drilled soon.

lol always help if you have the shocks!

As for the cage, is it an SD one? And in the pics it look as if the legs fall short of the rear arch/turrets? not sure though as you have them coverd up, if they do you could make a small box type mount to bridge the gap (think Lee had to do something like this)

Scott

PS: im off to do some work on mine! "SHOCK":eek: :eek:

Looking good as always chap - you never fail to give an entertaning update as opposed to just messing with the ride height! lol

I see you've also trimmed out the rear panel ready for a Dar style diffuser?

Cage/turrets malarky is a bit of an **** but I'm confident you'll find a win win solution.

Are the strips just off cuts you're keeping with the aim of just using the best fit for shiny sill/kick plates?
