500hp Honda'd S1 Exige build....
Discussion
holy horses...that are a lot of them.
t we have a TD booked. ! 
Right then......quite a lot achieved today really.
New front splitter has been made..
Had to stick it in the old bridgeport to machine the back edge down a little so the thicker sheet would slide over the rivnuts in the chassis.
We mocked up the wing brackets with some 2mm sheet. I got told this looked stupid and I needed to change it before something got thrown at me. lol,
So I made some mods and dropped it 60mm and moved it forward 50 just to make it a little more sensible for the road. Then we hit the cnc
Much better
Have put a 4mm rad on the outside edges to to help the air get around the brackets a bit as they are 10mm thick. Also need to glass up the old slots in the clam from the old wing, will do this when the clam comes back off next week.
Then marc started making a mess by cutting out the new vent slots in the front wings..
I will bond the mesh into these next week
Also today lots of things done that you cant see. New battery isolator wired in, oil and filter change, some shims needed changing on the suspension, split boot on a trackrod end etc etc,
Then last job for the day was to remove the re-circ valve from the charge cooler and weld on the new 50mm external Forge BOV.
