Looking for a few opinions, I'm thinking of going for wider arches, mostly so I can fit wider wheels on for traction. What do you lot think keep it "standard" or go wider?

Are you thinking custom wider or rally cross wide ?
They would potentially be going around 2" wider at the front and back. I don't have my quarters yet but means buying another pair of carbon wings.
You would sell them in a heartbeat I'd have them if the price was right fancy that lookin to shave as much weight of my cage shell
yeah i would have thought so aswell, but if i do decide to go wider ill be holding on to these aswell mate.
Not yet? Is Chris using them as a template then?? :)Quote:

I'll be picking them up at some point later in the year when all my other bits are finished off, saves doing the 5 hour or so drive a few times.
Not much of an update but just stripped my rear beam down, does anyone know what these discs came off of?

Avoid SPL. We spoke to these guys at Autosport and they seemed very helpful

I know Colin smith use paint-strip.co.uk at Preston for his sprint car and iirc he was happy with them, I've used them for some parts and their service has been great and good rates for cash also
That looks sick! Just what my thread needed i think lol not had pics of carbon in a while lol Can't wait to see the last few bits when there done, hopefully I'll be down to collect in the next few months :)Quote:

Or ask how long they will take to do it and camp out here lol
That's very kind of you :) I'll keep you updated on that, I might end up getting it media blasted up here much less hassle. I'll have a word with the bodyshop when I'm back from my holiday and take it from there.
Carbon roof on the cards now!
It would be rude not too !!!
Get it done lol
Think you should ask Bazil for a lend of his panels and go daft with carbon lol
It would have been very rude not to, really excited about this build now it's made my day lol
Rob, I now have everything except the floor really think I've got everything I need or at least on order lol
Got these today, just waiting on my front panel now and then it will be going in the body shop. :)

Are the turrets that rotten?
They look pretty bad, bought these just incase. I won't be using them if there not too bad though.
Funny that's a panel i look at and think if it needed replacing i'd buy another nova... lol Good man for doing it.
I'll see what they think about it, when the guy saw the car before I stripped it he didn't think it was that bad. Maybe i just see the rot and think its worse then it is. Hey ho it's getting fixed either way lol
Were you get the turrets mate? cant believe the amount of carbon on this car haha, brilliant work
It's also funny that I had a conversation with a man called Chris who dose a bit or carbon work, about these pannels, without the strut tops as a carbon replacement they are only there to keep water out I thought or a carbon overly so it looks like carbon from above would they be of intrest to anyone?Quote:

Yeah I'm sure the roof will turn out ok, I've got high hopes anyway lolQuote:
