I know we all like piccies, so thought I'd take a few of where my car is up to as of today.

It's basically finished, bar some IVA trimming and a few odds and sods. It's going for a full chassis setup and corner weighting next week, then off to atspeed in Essex for a mapping session, and that's pretty much it! Just need to save for IVA and registration now, but thinking a few track days while I save might help the motivation!

Cheers

Thanks gents.

Steve, the mounts for the fog light were made from plastic drain pipe, covered in sticky backed carbon fibre!

Your Roadster is looking splendid, it really is, a real credit to you :) :cool:

The dash is a real joy to behold as said, automotive porn :)

I spotted the old Cebora in the background, hope she is doing you a good service mate.

Very much looking forward to the day I spot your Roadster cruising about in this neck of the woods :cool:

Looking good, real good.

Is that a bike can I see? Do you think the IVA will be happy with the end not rolled? I've a fireblade can and have been wondering what to do with it.

Jimmy, it's a Yamaha R1 can, and does have a rolled lip, so I think it'll be ok.

Looks great adrian,

Can't wait for mine to be looking that good.
Not to far off mind!

Did you have to make a new link pipe for the exhaust?

adrianreeve

Thanks Mike, yes I did make up a new link pipe. Found a really good company on eBay who made a pipe to my length, and swagged at either end to account for different tube sizes between header and can, next day delivery for £14 all in! Total cost for the can was less than £40, and it works really well!

Cheers

What about the exhaust header? Is that a Kit Spares one?

Yes it is. Very happy with it actually, wasn't expecting much for the money, but I'm pleasantly surprised!

Thanks very much for the comments guys, they mean a lot coming from fellow builders. Just been speaking to Atspeed, car is now firmly booked in for 21st for mapping, and the chassis setup is the week after next, then I think it's actually finished! May have to try and find some IVA money from somewhere!

Cheers

Very nice indeed . Real credit to you . Mine will not be anywhere near as good but hopefully will work.

Good luck with the iva :-)
