Thanx alot guys. Problem is that its taking both of us way to long. Trying to do everything perfect.

I have a ton of things I want to do before I take it to a meet or show like a very tidy fuel swirl tank setup in the boot. Incl a lexan window in the boot and rear seat.
(I will explain later) and fabricate a sick rear diffuser and front splitter.
But need to get it running first.
Really hope to take the ferry with ferdie :mrgreen: next year to show off our rides.
More updates soon!

Lexan in boot:
The Dutch Time Attack rules say there can not be parts of the fuelsystem in the passenger/driver cabin.
(This excludes fuel lines)

To be able to fit a swirl tank setup in the boot I need to make a firewall between the boot and me.
If I do that I will not only close off the boot and keep any fuel vapours in, I also can not see if there is anything wrong or fire. Nor can the fire department after a crash.
So been thinking about a sollution.
Fit a small lexan plate in my boot lid and firewall behind me. Also vent the boot to get rid of any vapours..

Make sense?? But like I said: get the thing running first!

Hi Guys..
Small update.
Not going as fast as planned (again) but its comming together.

Got a new seat and put the BRIDE replica's for sale.
Got a FIA Sparco Pro ADV seat. Pax seat is probably gonna be a smaller seat like a SPARCO Sprint.

The side mounts are custom made by Biesheuvel motorsports and are very light compared to steel side mounts.
ALso got the intercoolerpiping fitted with the new black silicon hoses and the oilcooler found its final resting place.

I will have to make a intercooler shroud to direct the flow to the intercooler.
