well finally mission accomplished the manual steering rack is on, everything is all back on and bolted up nice and tight with the correct bolts, so now its back on all fours! thank god! i don't wanna be doing that conversion again unless i do it when the engine is completely out and subframe is down! but whats also good news i managed to get my hands on a sparco roll cage! it looks good on the outset and managed to get the main hoop with the rear strut and braces in well sort of i have to remove the sunroof completely so it fits in place! so theres another thing i have to do is blank off the sunroof till i can afford a carbon/fibreglass roof skin! so yeah another thing to add to the list also another good bit of news is i found a nice cheap microsquirt ecu i'm gonna use so thats a good proper jenvey throttle body setup for less than a grand!

 

so heres some lovely pictures;

gutted out all the foam and the brackets just like i did on the front bumper and i have currently fixed this to the car so far with the usual screws in the arches but will be looking to add a couple of small brackets underneath that fixes quick release d clips which will hide under the tailgate so still looks factory finish just lighter! then i'm planning to add the spats from my old bumper blend them in and cut around the exhaust to the tow eye so it looks like a maxi style bumper!

indeed it was a great choice. the seat i had in mind was the corbeau revolution but after testing one the big hooped areas that go round by your head didn't seem suitable for what i'm going to use the car for! but it does fit me very well and no doubt will hold me in when going around corners!

You can't beat a good seat for increasing potential cornering speed, or some good harnesses for that matter! :)

 

Must admit im not a fan of the big, wrap-around hooped seats. They look abit OTT in anything south of a rallycross car to me, much prefer the style you've gone for.

 

I think this'll be abit of a weapon when you've finished her :thumb:
