Thought i'd take some pics outside
in between the snow storms...
really nice to see the car outside for the first time!
still got a few jobs to do. i've not fitted the front cycle wings yet, as i want to cut them down, but the brackets come straight out.
maybe mnr do a diff type!?, i need them to be 11 and 1 oclock rather than 9 and 3

Steve
very nice looking car. Well done 
Nice! Reminds me how badly my aluminium needs cleaning!
Looks really good, how I wish my roll bar had been within the rollover of the bodywork
Looking good!
Makes me sad though. I wish I was that far ahead, I just haven't put the hours in I thought I would.
Hopefully you have inspired me

looking good,
do we have to guess the location of the bolt in the pasenger footwell, look like it is left in there as a reminder that it needs putting/fitting
somwhere ( please dont tell me i am the only one that does this sort of thing )
Oh forgot to mention on the wheel arch bit - drop marc an email as it all depends on your combianation of uprights / cyclewings / wheel offset and
wheel and tyre size.
PPS i would keep the rear of the arch as close to the ground as possible as it reduces stones / poo ( literally if you live round here )hitting
you / rear arches and damaging them it also reduces water spray dreamitacally just my 2p really

I don't get it?
Thanks for the positive comments guys!
i do feel like i've given birth and it was a breach!
Agriv8 your right, i'll keep the rears a bit longer, it's just the front being so long i think it spoils the lines a bit.
now wheels and tyres, are you all running the same size tyre front and rear? or are you going for a little wider at the back
ps, not sure about that bolt, i think it's a wizbolt

Hi John,
Car is looking superb.
I am just waiting for my wheels to arrive then hopefully get it on it's wheels.
I have Pro Race 1.2's coming from MNR, They are supplying them with R888's, 195's for the front and 205's for the rear.

I went for the standard package that MNR supply which is the soft compound. Chris did say that on a colder day the medium compound would be very slippery slidey.
looking good
When I asked Chris what tyre combination would get me round the track fastest he replied 195 front and 205 rear. I got the 13"CXR in black (lighter and no need for big brakes on BEC) with Toyo R888s. With Marc's and Chris's experience I don't doubt the advice will be bang on!
