LOL I just came across this, the internet has been capped and wasn't working properly.

Thanks for the compliments. I do believe there is much room for improvement both in the car and my driving however. With that sort of pull on the straights I should really be a bit quicker than I have been. I still didn't get quite down to my times from when the engine/drivetrain was stock. I think the main thing to work on is some better tyres to be able to hold that pace through the corners better, and I need to drive it deeper into the corners and hold some more of the pace aswel.

That said I think the car is coming along quite well and I think much of that launch from the corners can be attributed to the 4:3 diff and 6 speed gearbox combo, with many thanks to MX5Plus for that reccomendation.

[/end hijack] Back the the blue beast, this thing is absolutely immaculate and a real credit to Danny.

Those pics are RIGGED.




You don't REALLY have the driver's seat that far back! :lol:



While the hard top is off, how about you paint it blue?

Looks like those tyres worked pretty hard at the last track day 8)

The tyres held up really well...no scalloping like the 185/60R14's experienced. Good even wear across the width...most unusual for QR...maybe I wasn't driving hard enough :x

It'll have to be on lay-by for quite a long time... Do they have decade long repayment plans?

I'm sorry, that is simply the best looking NA I've ever seen.

Really makes me want to get my arse back on the track.
