It looks like you ended up removing the package tray on this one. Did you end up boxing up to the rear window more or less? I'd love to do a similar setup to my 60 one of these days. I'm excited to see this build continue to mature!

I just clearanced it enough for turbo to fit up high enough and for air filter hose to turbo, then ally panelled over that, finally made a carbon rear seat to cover it all Shocked
I like it!

That looks pretty damn epic. I think i'm going to copy the carbon fibre back panelling....up until i see the price for the sheets, then it'll be plywood and carpet Smiley

Needed a decent fuel system, luckily I ran big enough fuel lines through car 1st time so main upgrade was the pump, went with this from fuelab, next was converting car to hydraulic clutch, fitting a master cylinder is not easy on a RHD car, its a bit tight in there!!!

I told you not to buy the small one.  Does that mean I can have my spare back?  Smiley

Richie, I'm enjoying this thread. Do you have a shot of the pedal side of the clutch set up. I've done one on the left side by extending the clutch shaft through and out the left side of the tunnel, but yours looks very neat. Also, which master cylinder?

While this was going on I got the cage checked and certed for 8.50, before it was only tagged to 10.0 as I figured it wouldn't go quicker than that with the nitrous engine in it.
Upped the fuel outlet on tank to be sure it would be big enough whatever i tried later on Wink   

Also made some molds of 2 different rear air deflectors to try and then made them from carbon of course Grin and added some shock sensors to measure the effects of them
