Your mate looks like he does some very nice work, for some reason that footrest is my favourite bit, it screams "race car"

Re: CRAIGS 510 1600
Got a bit more done on car after work. We decided to add a leg to the fuel filler in the boot as you have to have a fuel overflow hose to the external of the vehicle and a hose dangling in mid air looked average but in saying that I'm not a huge fan of the leg either but it is only temp until I build a fuel cell.
Also added two small breather filters too the catch can. We run out of height to put only one decent size filters and I wasn't comfortable with only 1 small one so fitted 2 small ones, not sold on the idea but at the end of the day it is a race car and I can't afford too be too fussy

What are the sizes of those breather filters? You said you couldn't get any smaller than you supplied me

Re: CRAIGS 510 1600
I took the car out for its first skid on the new motor on Thursday. It was a very illegal drive out in the country with no wof no reg no cert etc but I'm happy with how she went. I basically warmed the motor up then raped the snot out of it as I reckon the best way to run a motor in is how you intend on driving it in the future. I'm still gutted that I paid someone good money to tune webers and they are still so far off it's not funny but they will do for this track day.
