A GTR is born???
Discussion
Well guys'n'gals SVA re-test finally confirmed for August 25th @ 10.00am........
Car is basically finished now with all the fail points corrected with the exception of the final mapping and checking the noise (decibel inserts at the ready!)....couple of minor items to bolt on including the wheel centres and Ultima badges but she's finally done:
Heading back to the UK on Sunday so apart from racing with Pete at Silverstone the following weekend should have time to get her ready......even managed to get the number plates made up.......hopefully 'L7 ULT' will be on the road before the end of summer and flying the Ultima flag with the rest of you......

Cheers Pete.....hopefully be on the road by the time we're racing at Snetts in September....
Look forward to taking you out in her - come to think of it that will be almost two years to the dot that I had my first Ultima experience with you and X8 GTR at Snetts which is kinda cool;)
That'll be a great event!!Look forward to taking you out in her - come to think of it that will be almost two years to the dot that I had my first Ultima experience with you and X8 GTR at Snetts which is kinda cool;)
Did you see Anthony's latest video - do you think he gave Andrei a tap? Don't think so:

They don't mess about at the front!!!
Can we get a new team photo with your L7 GTR and the two MR2s??
Cool!
otherwise i'd pop along.Car looks great! Glad to see it almost finished. It is making me wish my investments pay off as I WANT an Orange GTR in my garage!!! Until then my Orange TT Camaro will suffice. 
I love the black & orange theme. It all ties together nicely. I have enjoyed watching the build progress and look forward to hearing about you enjoying the car. And maybe watching some video as well.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.........as always the build is never really finished and I've a 'must do' post SVA list of things - basically things that complete the look of the car as I originally envisaged including:
Rear wing - Factory item
Front splitter - ???
Carbon clam (shark grill) vents ala LMP2 style front & rear - design ongoing!
Front/rear tow eyes - completed ready for fitting
Reduce side window height ala GTR-TT look.....
Remove all the bloody SVA interior c**P and add carbon centre cowl
Install AP bias control
and then
the bloody thing as fast as poss as much as poss!!

Simon, that car looks almost as good as a BLACK one!
I am nearly as excited as you are about getting the Tango wagon on the road, good luck with the test
And remember, it is flattering to have ones ideas and designs replicated by others ( well, SSS's ideas and designs mainly but I chose and paid so they are 'ours' really
)

Don't you worry about me fella, there will never be another GTW ...And remember, it is flattering to have ones ideas and designs replicated by others ( well, SSS's ideas and designs mainly but I chose and paid so they are 'ours' really

^^^^- Very close now. Just had the windscreen fitted and the car has a few bits & bobs needed before it is fully ready. I will be applying for the IVA within a few days. I'm not sure how long the waiting time is for the new test. It is so bloody close now it is starting make my teeth itch.
