Right. Been a long time. Over a year.

 

I left the army and needed to sort my life out befor I could continue to build the fortune.

 

I now have no time to work on her so she is with Darren at Whifbitz. Been there a couple weeks.

 

I am hoping she will be finished soon.

 

Currently getting a syvecs with all the trimmings put in and a new fuel system and a few bits and bobs getting done.

 

I now have JamieP's old Greddy intake manifold off Al Massey. Who is a star. Thanks bud.

 

So soon. She will be road going and I can't wait.

The new FMIC fits her mouth perfectly.

Just need to decide on a grill or not.

What do you guys think???

She has been lowered and the front is lower than the rear even though it looks strangely higher :/ haha

And new fav photo. And one with bonnet half closed.

Right little update.

 

Syvecs is in. All the sensors and everything required for future plans.

Have also got clear cam cover for when I change the cams, top carbon front cam cover as well.

Carbon bonnet dampers which only just work due to the weight of the bonnet.

Aero catches on the bonnet and the boot lid. Locking obviously. And black.

Fuel pressure regulator hidden away. I can't even tell where this is if anyone has an idea?

K&N air filter, will be changed for green filter in the near future.
