nar just putting around in it it was his first time at lakeside.. And with the on and off rain it was hard for him to get his bearings. But stayed around the 65's. His car does 61's at qr on the clubman. Should be good to be out there with him though.

[plohl]

haha, 65 is pretty respectable for putting around.

Yeah, I know exactly how you feel - can't wait to be out there!

Good luck with it man!

61 on clubman is pretty good time!!

Update

So over the weekend ive got every thing done that i wanted to With a help of a mate we removed all the remaining control arms and the diff, and today i ran my new fuel lines

The fuel lines were a pain in the arse.. first getting the old lines out, and then trying to fit the new ones down behind the fuel tank . Got it done anyways but the hose that was provided is so long so i think i pulled it to tight and need to put a bit of slack in it or its just meant to be like that

So tomorrow im going down to drop off the diff and control arms to fit up the New Tomei trax 2 way and fit the bushings and ball joints

Anyways, heres some pics

Like a boss.

also started running some heat sheilding on the firewall.. being high mount the heat isnt going to escape that well as a lowmount would. So this is just being done to not heat the cabin so much.

[charlie_91]

So just went to install my new garage vary lip. and this happened. Not sure when but ... it happened at some point

So i gave up on that. Heat sheilding like i said before

IMG_4235 by charlie_2011, on Flickr

Update:
So this week was going well or so i thought. I just picked up the diff with the new tomei 2 way put in. And ill be picking up my control arms with new bushings and ball joints tomorrow

All was going well.. i today i thought id touch up some of the heat shielding but to my surprise a bit patch of paint peeled up with it.. No primer underneath just the old crappy red paint. So im gonna call old mate and try and resolve this piece of sh*t job. Anyways i installed my headlights to work out how im gonna do the motorless setup but will probably have to take it back out and get the bay re done properly.

anyways took a couple of photos for the hell of it.

So as u can imagine im pretty pissed off. Ive spoken to the panel beater. Hopefully we can rectify this situation.

In other news, ive bought a few things from Garage Star over in the US. They are a small company that make products to a very high standard and improve the looks or feel of the car.
I bought a wiper cowl from Ken a while ago after not knowing if it will fit the RHD chassis i took some measurements and all seemed ok. Got it installed last week and im happy to say that it does fit perfect.

Shift extender and Air bag delete. Ive had mates try out the extender and they love it.

I also have two of there gear knobs coming over as well as there cooling plate. I highly recommend these guys if ur looking to buy anything like that.

[slug_dub]

Heya Charlie, good to see loads going on with your car! I like the look of the flares and your wheel choice, it will look extremely badass when done!

This wiper cowl cover, does it fit with the wipers being on the other side compared to US cars?

[charlie_91]

Yes, I see no problem with the wipers. Also cheers

[rxmx]

Car is going to look PHAT when completed. Love the flares and the wheel combo.

Looks like they didn't prep the bay before painting it, lucky you haven't put the motor and everything in yet, much easier to sort out now before the motor goes in...

[16bit]

those wheels are going to worth a fortune if you keep them perfect. work have stopped making 15 version of those.

[NMX516]

Just a friendly observation... Might be worth moving that lower fuel line joint/nut up closer to the FPR. It looks a bit low and exposed there.

Otherwise, coming along nicely

[charlie_91]

Update so its been a looooonnnggg day.

But i can finally say my car is back on the ground again With the help of mates re put the suspension and diff back in

Photos speak for them selves.. Needs the front lip and canards badd as well as the height set properly on all four corners

Firstly set everything out
