that went out the window. the block had a crack in it between 2 and 3 cylinder. got weighed in for scrap and the crank and other bits sold off.

there is a new plan and it will make quite a bit more power than the s2000 engine

Presume it will be a turbo engine then?

An idea I saw on a rally car was some heavy duty vinyl around the spring catches for the bonnet.

Could you not get some clear/matching vinyl (doubled up maybe to be a bit thicker) and make a stone guard from that? Advantage is that when it does get damaged its a few mins with a hair dryer and its back to clean GRP and just fit a new one.

TMITSC your on my wavelength

i was thinking about that vinyl stuff that they offer to put round your wheel arches at the car dealers when you buy a new car.

there are some post iva body work plans in the pipe line i just dont have the cash to do them pre iva at the mo.

What you need is Venture Shield, have used it my bikes for years. Very easy to fit.

Don't get cheap ones as there know good.

Use it on Crash Helmets as well

£75 that's more than half the price of a set of new arches lol

to be honest im not too bothered if the arches get a bit stone chipped. i built the car to rag the hell out of and i doubt i will give a it two thoughts as i try to work out which way to steer as i head towards a lamp post.

Looking great there mate.
2 weeks time I'll see it in the flesh (Yea back to the UK again )
Suprised how "blue" those pipes look, considering it ain't on the road yet.

You got those IVA forms sent off yet?
