  1. thanks mate! and yeh this was with 5mm spacers but I need maybe 8mm just to make sure they are clearing as I masked up the caliper with 5mm spacers and it was rubbing the tape! first show is Elsecar on my shaveallthebays trade stand but it will be 100% for Early Edition
  2. recently I received my front brakes so fitted them and had a test fit of the wheels on the front, its going to be wide but with air ride and a pull of the arches we should be good! I then started fitting the Stack water temp, oil temp and pressure gauges along with the Kcarbon interior pieces and finalized the rear brake bias valve
  3. Hi everyone! Not a great update as I haven't had chance to work on the car lately but I started finishing off the fuelling setup and ended up running out of hose and needing more fittings so I ended up trimming my headlights to fit the tubular front end and got them mocked up. Need some new hardware as the button cap heads are too long
  4. So as promised here are some more pictures, once the engine had been fitted i carried on test fitting the tubular front end with the radiator and intercooler, the reason why i went for a tubular front end was to shave having to butcher the front bumper and start rad support ot get everything in, and it also looks pretty cool! as you can see from the above picture i have installed some motorcycle into the front bumper now to make everything legal but these can removed for shows etc and will be tinted so not as visible until illuminated. in
  5. not been a member for very long and never been to any meets etc so i do not recognise that car but your previous cars are gorgeous! welcome back!
  6. So unless you have been following my Instagram (if not, why not? @alex_shaveallthebays ) then you will of been missing out due to my lack of updating on forums lately so I thought I would start having a catch up and bring you up to speed. From the last update I have been working on the car at every opportunity I have in between shifts and life in general. I started by jacking the car up and Tetrosealing the underneath. The floor and sills had already had the hard work done and been welded up in the usual place and then stone chipped but this is porous and needed protec
  7. Should be fine at 5psi but please have a AFR/lambda and boost gauge minimum to keep an eye on things as the standard Ecu will only go so far if you are not mapping it When you are going standalone ditch the recirc valves and go for a BOV as you can ditch the MAF sensor. I would then run something like 630's with an inline 044 or intank 040 pump to safe guard your fuelling
  8. wow what an amazing build just read it from start to finish you have been on one hell of a rollercoaster but the end result speaks for itself fair play!
  9. Morning folks! Not a great deal to report but finally got the new rolling shell into the garage I have built (oversized shed) and started looking through all the junk that's been left inside. Quite surprised there is almost a full interior, painted black pillars, black roof liner and loads of little spares that will come in handy. Found some bonnet lifters so got those fitted straight away as I had nothing propping up the bonnet and resting it on your head gets old real quick Excuse the state of the bay I removed the front slam panel so we could tow it via the subframe and it's a littl

  12. hi everyone, its been too long since an update has come along and I guess quite a bit has happened. knowing that my car was always going to need the engine bay shaving and the underneath protecting whilst looking through Facebook I saw a Dragon Green MK3 rolling shell for sale that had smoothed body work, been welded and protected underneath with straight sills and most importantly a shaved bay. I couldn't say no to the price so a trailer was hired and I went down to J-tech Automotive to pick it up. it wasn't 100% as it appeared in the pictures but the money saved over
  13. Nice progress Pete! I miss my old supercharged setup although a lot of what you are doing had already been done as it ran like a pig before that.
  14. Those brakes are awesome! Fill the wheel out lovely too.
  15. It must be the camera angle! [emoji23][emoji23]
