Hi Patrick,
Good luck with the 944 traitor
Just ordered a new Astra sri tourer for the wife so been working silly hours to pay for it.
I have the new diff for the M,also a new ally radiator to cope with the extra power,thanks to Tim @ ACT top bloke.
I will try to get some more pics up in a couple of weeks.

In three weeks time i have a weeks holiday,so i should fit the lightweight bonnet to the frame,fit new hinges along with the ally rad.
I've made the diff cradle,somehow i need to find the positions of the lugs on the chassis to mount the diff and cradle.
Progress is slow because of the bespoke parts i have to make,will be worth it though

Yup but camera broke so no pics.
Flip front fitted with hinge mod so it opens alot wider with a stop built in.An ally rad from Radtec with twin fans fitted as used on the Cerby fitted a treat(thanks for the tip John )
Decided to go with 17/8" stainless tube for the manifolds,will order the mandrel bends and tube next week.
Cut my thumb at work on Sunday so i'm off work all week,can't do bugger all though

I've been looking for some front brake calipers,4 pot AP with the TVR logo would be good.
I'm only using a 16" wheel so i think the CP6600 will be too big,says for use with a 330 dia disc.
Did the early Cerby use another AP caliper with a 300 dia disc with the TVR logo?
search function not working again

nice project steve ,can i ask , this bonding the glass in ,on my v8 turbo m , i had a problem of over 135 mph the windsceen would let go of the roof edge for about 7 inches in the middle ,and the rear screen would do the same ... is this a m thing then? , i have nver heard of it and assumed it was because i removed the sunroof and so lost the stiffening effect of the frame ...does the bonding fix it ,and what sort of bonding is it ?
oh something else ,im sure you allready know ,triangulating the wishbone mounts is a good idea ,having had the front n/s bottom wishbone tear its self off the chassis at 60 mph downhill , i can say that its a focussing experience .locking the brakes and full rhdown got me lodged into a lucky layby .
I still have the sunroof fitted,removed the rear screen and was shocked by the wobble oh something else ,im sure you allready know ,triangulating the wishbone mounts is a good idea ,having had the front n/s bottom wishbone tear its self off the chassis at 60 mph downhill , i can say that its a focussing experience .locking the brakes and full rhdown got me lodged into a lucky layby .
So the sunroof pays no part in stiffening it.I'm going to glass some metal brackets to the roof front and back,then bolt these to the rollbar.
Bonding the glass in would probably be ok on a standard car,but mine and i'm guessing yours with it having a turbo will be good for 160+ so i don't think i would rely on it.If you don't have a rollcage how about glassing some stiffening into the roof front and back?
Adrian told me about the wishbone mounts,i'm new to M's so any info on triangulating the chassis would be great

What are going to do with the car Steve?
An exhaust on an M runs under the diff and so causes it to breath after 40 mins on track (race conditions). the extra disc heat will excarebate the situation. I would go drums or outboard discs ...and if it will see serious track time, I would consider a diff cooler - which ever option you choose.
It will be a weekend road car(TVR meets and drives out) but i want to do plenty of track days with it.An exhaust on an M runs under the diff and so causes it to breath after 40 mins on track (race conditions). the extra disc heat will excarebate the situation.

Exhaust will exit infront of the rear wheels both sides,the trick will be getting it under 95db I don't want it to be like the SEAC where i couldn't get near a track
