985cc Turbocharged Nova Sprint Car

The new lift is proving invaluable;

I've fitted the quick rack and rose-jointed track rod ends today, and changed the starter motor for a lighter weight one. Both these would have been miserable jobs on axle stands.

The new turbo unit;

Big hole in the boot, that is about to be filled with a carbon fibre sheet. My other half has been making herself useful making the template for it;

The carbon sheet has now been cut out and I will post up some photos of that tomorrow.

Also fitted a different oil catch tank, which is a bit lighter and neater than the previous one;

And the new tiny lithium battery is now installed too;

And a few general shots of where it's got to so far............it now has a carbon fibre Recaro seat, which is 2.5kg less than the fibreglass one I had previously;

Note the gold heat reflective sheet on the sill to protect from the new exhaust location. I've also used this heat mat on the battery.

In Wiltshire (near to Salisbury), at Gurston Down. It's a 2-day meeting, Saturday/Sunday 16th and 17th April.

I'll see how it goes there, as that's going to be something of a test weekend for the revised car, and then I plan to book in some more local events, e.g. Harewood, Mallory, Cadwell.

Tomorrow's main job is to replace the gear cluster with the Quaife straight cut one, but I also need to fit the new polycarbonate windows, and the rear quarters of the wide arch kit.
