Did Alan tell you about his dash and aero screen designs?


David

No, I was going to ask about an aero now I realise the saturn one I have won't fit. I could shorten the saturn one so it fits but I think I'll go with Alan's. What's the dash going to be like? Will it have an IVA radius built in?

He was looking at making one that fits the upper shape with a taper so no rubber trim is needed and flat along the bottom with the iva radius. I dont want to cover the dash just want it plain grp in black so was happy to hear this

No I didn't venture upstairs, too paranoid about the health risks of fibreglass dust. Any idea on price?

I think he makes the bodywork for Furore - the road going 'F1 replica' cars... Wouldn't want one personally - but impressive that they get through IVA - there hope for us all yet!

I thought he did someone mentioned it on here before. I'm wondering how much this dash and aero will be though.

Hi David,
I remember when I collected my kit over a year ago he was on about a dash then. I guess it's just a matter of finding time to do it.
I bet a big grin was on your face when you put body kit on your chassis...
I found it fiddly lining the panels up with all the returned edges but it was worth it in the end..

I received my letter back from mazda uk this morning. It confirms that the engine I have was in the car at the time of manufacture in 91 so no cat is required!! That's saved a potential headache if sorting out a cat etc.

I've also just bought a whole load of bits off the web so will hopefully get some time to fit them soon.

Pictures to follow asap!!

I ordered a set of carbon fibre stoneguards off ebay (via a large kit car supplier) only to have black grp ones delivered. Obviously a bit of a mix up but the quality of what came through was not very good. They had been chopped from a flat sheet. All around the edge were gel coat cracks and chips.

Now waiting on other stuff to turn up to get on with my build.

The postman seems to have an inability to knock on my front door or try a neighbour before taking the stuff to the local sorting office!
