A little late to this I know, but my mate is currently at the same stage. He's got the engine & box in (just) and was doing the centre mount on Saturday and is going to start the wiring/cooling/driveshaft things. The n/s shaft looks like its going to be mighty short - any ideas where he can get some made up? We're in the Oldham area.

**goldstar0011** · 19-09-2005 10:48

Try contacting Kristian, he lives Leigh way but might visit cause he's been looking into this loads

**Raceworx** · 19-09-2005 16:53

i havent got round to soring the shafts yet im getting the other bits in first im gathering bits for the wiring like diagrams and such fourth.

rad is on the way so that will be plumbed in this weekend, need to sort some bits for fueling. suspention is orderd and will be here soon, once all thats done ill get her back to my house do the back and wiring and get the shafts made then.

I think im gona use pro-shaft i dont know yet.

Cheers
Ian

i know the shear stupidity of me askin this with all the other lots of interesting work that you have carried out but a) where did you get the splitter from and b) where did you get the black grille from as i have a gawdy chrome one and want to change. that is some real nce work by the way and i realy cant wait to see how it goes.

**Raceworx** · 30-09-2005 16:45

lol no problem man :-

A) the splitter is a laguna splitter of a renalt laguna i saw in the scrapyard £20
b) the the grils are the chrome ones sprayed up black i did it miself cost £15 in paint
c) to do the front lights you need to heat them in the oven prise the glas off when the glue is hot then spend time painting the bit inside black, then seal it back up.

**Raceworx** · 01-10-2005 09:34

Ed · 01-10-2005 13:52

Ill go on a track! That is after I have FMIC anyway.

**Davey C** · 01-10-2005 14:25

Ditto, but I wanna get lowered first hehe

**Alienfish360** · 01-10-2005 14:31

Are there any rules and regs regarding your vehicle and person when on a track day?

Ed · 01-10-2005 15:04

yes youll get a briefing on the day. However the aim is not to race, believe it or not. Its simply to have fun with your car, if a faster car comes up from behind you your supposed to let them past.

Ed

**Raceworx** · 01-10-2005 15:34

track days are for eerybody dont need a fast car to go on the track as long as you have fun!!

**Dave Bull** · 05-10-2005 20:47

I could build my car myself very easly...but as I've said before, I have neither the time or resources to build the car!

I have a #### load of respect for you attempting the swap yourself, as it ain't easy!

Good luck to you on competing on the track, where ever it may be, but I'm not really a track person, hence why I am setting it up for the strip!

Cheers anyways!

Dave

P.S. It would be good to get against each other on the track just to see how well mine would fair up!

**Raceworx** · 06-10-2005 08:57

how do dave

yeah i know were setting them up for completly different purposes.. i wanna see yours completed only seen the hakf way pics..

**tommo** · 06-10-2005 20:52

not a lot too it really just a drill and some bolts and a bit of patience

**Raceworx** · 10-10-2005 07:57

**Antony** · 21-04-2006 19:41

**Titch** · 10-10-2005 11:57
