Feels as if work has been chewing me up and spitting me out come friday for the past two weeks, been completely manic and I've been rather drained..!
Anyway - back on it today.
Both suspension bits done now - both sides complete.
Couldn't resist a trial fit..
The mother of all things unholy!
Badass :icon_cool:
Aerial shot :icon_mrgreen:
You can see I've started to add some extra bracing in the engine bay.
Sexy!!!! What's the sizing if those rear wheels I want some!!!!!
18x12 ET12 i think.
My favourite TB pic right now....
Yes mate it's awesome, what plans do you have for the bodywork? What's the specs for the front wheels?Originally Posted by Paul Woods

Fronts are 18x9 ET50 .. I can get away with ET35 but will need to re-barrel the rims. 35 is the minimum to clear the 4-pot callipers.
looking awesome dan taking shape :icon_smile:
Awesome mate. What's the plan for the bodywork, is it a Woodsport secret? Or are you going to keep it under wraps.
More pics of the wheels please, where did you source them from?
So will this car be show king, daily driver, garaged and never seen again or drag strip weapon??
Those wheels are unreal. Bet there's a grand plus in them!
The bodywork plan is pretty simple... make it fit the wheels! :D
- Sard MC4 front
- Wider fabricated steel front wings
- Simple but wide skirt (much like the MC8)
- Huge intake (as per the MC8-R)
- Side exit exhaust (as per the MC8-R)
- Wider rear arches
- Keep the boot
- Big Gay Wing
The wheels as you all probably know are Work VS-XX which i bought from USA, an ET50 set of 8s and 9s. I have basically re-barrelled the 8s to make them 12s. Cannot remember who i bought the wheels from but come up regularly on this eBay trader (who i also got the new outers from) http://stores.ebay.com/jdmautohouse
In fact - he has several sets on there now ..
This is the front - with caliper mounted..
Not enough rim for my liking at the mo but are functional so can wait.
As for the cars' use ... not sure really. I'm not one for pomp and ceremony so unlikely to be a meticulously kept show car. I have said all along that I plan in it's first big outing being a track session at Japfest next year... Daily driver, it'll get driven - probably not daily but it will get driven :) .. drag strip - absolutely NOT what I am building this car for but that not saying it'll never see the strip ;) ... Just a car really, 4 wheels, 2 seats and a steering wheel :)
