Any news on the repairs/mods ??
My apologies for the delay in an update on my car, and on other matters Nova.
To say it's been a hectic last half of 2012 would be an understatement. As you will see from my 'Profile' I have now completed my move back to the South of England, following, well let's call it a 'lifestyle change'.
After the big accident with my Nova in the Summer, it's been in the care of a couple of friends who have been working on chassis repairs; the front crossmember and chassis legs as far back as the front suspension turrets have now been replaced.
New tie bars, steering arms and track control arms have been fabricated, along with engine mounting points.
The turbocharger has had a complete overhaul after sucking in a lot of debris, and the engine is currently with Brett Sims Motorsport for a rebuild, along with some upgrades.
I've got a new intercooler and radiator ready and waiting, plus assorted interesting parts......an F1 titanium clutch cylinder, a Lotus Elise alloy pedal box, carbon fibre rear spoiler (Irmscher replica), carbon fibre front splitter.
The carbon fibre front wings and bumper were badly damaged, but repairable, however the person I entrusted with the repairs seems to have gone AWOL, and it's a 500-mile round trip for me now to go and recover them, assuming of course that he's still at his premises........if anyone lives near Binbrook in Lincolnshire and fancies doing a recce mission for me that would be useful.
No pictures at the moment (sorry), but I will get some sorted out in due course.
Happy New Year to all!

Happy new year colin lets hope for a slightly less eventfull year next year as far as development and repairs go !.The carbon splitter and spoiler sound interesting i shall await pics although i dont think the spoiler will be of use to me as i have to use factory fitted spoilers
Mega. What's different about the steering arms?
How far back have you gone with the turrets; are they higher up too?
Tubular steering arms with smaller rose joints than before. The old ones were ridiculously big and heavy.Originally Posted by BRoadGhost

The front suspension turrets are exactly as before, our regulations don't allow us to alter those.

Welcome back down south Colin, nearly full circle back to Bournemouth. Looking forward to pics and more updates in 2012. Happy new year!
Just unearthed a few photos from a while back, not completely up to date but they will have to do for now;
I have no idea why the last 2 photos are upside down, blame the photographer.
