Having promised the better half that I wouldn't change anything on the car, that lasted ...er...1 hour !!!

So far - and in no particular order - I have

1) Changed the steering wheel for a Momo Race

2) Changed the gear lever for the matching Momo item

3) Ditched the harnesses - I don't track and they're pretty weedy compared to the ones I'm used to

4) Had carbon front boomerang splitters made

5) Had rear wing supports anodised black

6) Had carbon wing ends made - slightly deeper and different shape, more Gumpert Apollo style :D

7) Had carbon rear clam vent trims watercut

8) Designed and made (with a lot of help!) complete custom door mirrors and mounts

9) Carbon centre console trim (lower half)

10)Designed and had made custom interior door opener surrounds

11) Changed the exhaust to 2 separate boxes, less pipework too - no 'orrible restrictions

12) Fitted GII heat shield to intercooler frame and inside the I/C box massive improvement against heat soak

13) Fitted FP intercooler and run through switch live

14) Fabricated a complete new gear linkage - although taken small of a backward step last week when I changed the pivot points again. Re-development work on a complete cable system currently underway in my pursuit of excellence !!

15) Moved air filters forward

Loads of other bits and bobs in development as we speak

Wife - unimpressed !! LOL !!! :D :D

Blimey - not for the likes of me. I feel pretty proud when I open the rear clam unassisted. Oh, but I can put petrol in

Pity my camerawork is so crappy - all the bits are really well made and the carbon fibre is the highest quality I have ever seen, no weave defects, gel coat issues, pin holes or other nasties.

More to come - including a divorce probably !!

I'd better watch out then!

I guess the gear linkage improvements will be good esp. as it'll now be revving that little bit more freely.

ps. I like the cosmetic work but I'd have kept the harness
