The air-jacks are well worth their weight when you've got aero. :mrgreen:

Quick update....

The wiring looms are just about finished. This is the engine loom.

This is the ignition circuit loom.

At its bare minimum...

A mid week update!

Again the attention to detail continues to impress me. The PDM really does reduce the wiring.

Just over 2 weeks to go until WTAC 2014....still plenty to do....so probably not much time for updates....for those of you attending WTAC 2014....see you there! :mrgreen:

This is straight out of the mould...so still to be detailed.

You going to keep the factory headlights or taillights to maintain a bit of authenticity?

If all goes to plan Nevyn there should be plenty of carbon in all its clear gloss glory. 8)

Hi Danny,

Never been to WTAC before, coming out especially to see this car up close! I have an NC and my daughter has a Series 3 RX7... This could be the best of both worlds :D

I like the first image, it looks like you are in the naughty corner. The logo's on the back of the suit make perfect sense, what else are the other racers going to look at?

When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?
