Any body know what happened to the orange Murt? is it on the road? If one wants work done on the Murtaya where does one go now?
Dave has the Orange one and last I heard was getting AST to supply new suspension.

Quite funny we only have 2 bad debts as a company and both are the 2 Murtaya Companies (not a lot to be fair to them though) smile

I was pleased to be highest bidder on yours Ian although you didn't let it go for my bid is it still for sale?

Have to be honest we have been house shopping recently and the wife's favourite phrase at the moment is "we could afford that house if you hadn't have bought that car!"

Eh...just waiting over here. Sadly enough, it's the fifth annual local car show this weekend that I'm missing. But at least the buttons finally showed up (it took a month just to get them ordered and shipped). Now we just need to get them in...

I am getting there slowly... had the windscreen installed last week.
I have just acquired some S2000 seats, so need to mod the rails to get them installed.
Hopefully just a few weeks away from an inspection....

Just received the build compliation from CKC, some handy tips in there, I should have got this at the start...

Got my wheels back from the painters yesterday, looking good in satin black. Now I have to splash out on the tyres....

Just logged in for the first time in ages.

NZ enquiry: the gold CKC car has S2000 seats and the rest of the interior was trimmed to match. We have just taken the door cards off because they fouled on the seats; we have made a flatter closing panel based on carbon fibre sheet. We have also addressed the doors dropping with a new fix, sealed the doors and sorted out the windows so it now does not leak and wind noise is much reduced.

Even the Sparco seats supplied by Adrenaline did not fir without fouling the door leading to door closing and sealing issues.
