Thanks dave !

Picked up my freshly painted matt black boot today thanks dave another cracking job !

Saw this for sale when i went to warrington to pick up an sti seat and thought it would go well on my track car my mate dave is going to dip the painted black brackets as they are alloy and should come up really well.
The alloy side panels will be sprayed black and as the carbo fibre panel is weather marked he is going to spray it blue 95h so when finished should look quite good.

Yes mate i posted a wanted on here a few weeks ago and never got any replies then a member on here sent me a pm about a seat he had seen on pistonheads so i was on it straight away.
Did a 400mile trip from work today to pick it up , distance is no object for me if i need it il travel to the highlands of scotland to get it.

leecalcars 05 March 2011 05:37 PM

leecalcars 07 March 2011 11:19 AM

Jamz think eBay have them and the bungs as I have ordered a 25mm for the other end.

Update: rang custom cages this morning car is being picked up on the 15th April for group n cage should get it back around Easter week then dave is spraying it White for me il post pics of before and after !

Then need to locate extinguisher system and swirlpot .

After cage is in and interior painted the car will go to mike downs auto electricans for rewiring of switches and repositioning of interior fuse board for easy access, push button start,batt cut off switch etc...

32-22mm reducer with a 22mm bung James, all available from the Bay of E. :thumb:

leecalcars 08 March 2011 11:34 AM

Need to find a company that sells an8 fittings for my swirlpot any suggestions ?

leecalcars 08 March 2011 11:38 AM

Update: spoke with kevin yesterday regarding roll cage and I've asked for extra support bars to be welded in from drivers sill to transmition tunnel for bucket seat frame, the cost of this for both sides came in at £255 so probebly half that now as only drivers side is getting done and standered sti passenger seat so using existing seat mounts .

Had a reasonable day down the garage today i had a problem when i tried to start the car yesterday with the fmic installed.
The engined just reved up on full throttle and i was mifed as to why.
But after speaking with duncan he suggested to check and clean the ICV which i did and couldnt believe the amount of crap that came from it well worth doing if you havnt already as the pics show,i didnt take one when i took it out but you can tell by the picture the crap that came out of it but all cleaned put back and bingo started first time .
