Also made the clio a little shelter to try and keep the worst of the winter weather off it , until I get a proper roof over that area.

Yes Sonny I am, works a treat. Need my rack reconditioning at the moment though.
Had the car checked over today and it's good to go as far as regs go apart from needing to cover the holes in the bonnet and bumper for some strange reason. What makes it even stranger is if I the car was road legal they would be ok ???
Car weighs 920kg now or 1008kg with me in it. Diet time for me I think lol
Need to adjust the corner weight slightly when I fit the rear ast's next week.
Also seen Neil from the forum up there getting his RB cup checked over

I have/had the same holes in the bonnet as you and mine as passed scrutineering all this season and last, cant see why it would fail.
Was it MSA registered scrutineered?

Very very cool :smile:. Can imagine its amazing to drive! Fantastic colour choice too
I'm surprised they never picked up on your FG doors tbh. I was told distinctly that I wouldn't be getting to race with them from Ian Afek and Rob Mckinna, past and present SMRC S&S's scrut.
You'll have far too much trouble if you're trying to return it to road going from what I understand. They'll want that cage out, roof L&O Ning and and good part of the interior back in etc etc. That was last years regs, have they tweaked them at all this year?
Also what's this about needing a race nat b license? That's one of the points that's attracting people to it... That you can apply for a license on the day!

SLS is following different regs to SMRC you are ok with fg doors along as a cage is fitted, also there is two levels of road legal.
Road legal as you say with full interior and road legal as in you can legally if you wish drive it to and from the track.
This year in SLS they are having a full road trim sub class within each power to weight group.

Not going to have time this time home Stu , away back on Sat 😧 .
Going to try and get the car on track end of Jan to test the brakes and rack at speed, I think the fact my car idles low is effecting the load to the motor as once the revs are up a bit it feels fine.

Sounds like it's gettng too complicated if I'm honest this year.
It should just be BHP/ton and fire on. It's decent that you can or could take a car on with nothing other than yellow tape on your battery negative, a hand held fire extinguisher (recommendation) plus your race gear and go out and race against the clock competitively on a circuit.

Sorry to go way back a few years but do you have any suggestions of the best way to drill the holes neatly in the bonnet and not make a mess of it. Yours looks very neat and I am in the same situation with ITB's and a carbon bonnet?
Also how did you go about getting the ITB air filter back box? Did you buy the box and cut the holes in yourself or get Jenvy to machine the box to their known dimensions?
Great thread by the way. I am also going to try and replicate the boot butchering.

When i drilled the holes i just covered the bonnet in masking tape , and marked it up then used a hole saw. Covering the carbon in tape should minimise splinters and cracking of the lacquer.
I bought the filter backing box from Riviere as a blank and marked and drilled it myself, really easy to do just bolt the bodies up without the trumpets and mark out the box.

Thank you.
No Problem .
I hope to pull the car into the garage at the end of the week and get it ready for the track, just a spanner cheek really going to be interesting out on track for the first time since winter mods.
Electric power steering
Gripper gearbox and lower FD
More weight loss
New brakes
Whiteline roll bar

Do you not fancy the PMS ARB that is in the group buy?
Still not happy with the feel of the front brakes , I was going to try a smaller master cylinder but hoping to do a track day next week so in the mean time I'm going to refit the standard callipers with some new CL pads.
I did strip back one side of the engine bay and painted it up, still got the other side to do which is going to take a bit more time removing parts.
Fitted my chronos as hoping to get the stickers for the 2 sets of 2118's next week.
Tight fit

What's wrong with the brakes Neil?!?
What's the smaller master cylinder going to achieve?
What's the smaller master cylinder going to achieve?
The pad area on the Porsche callipers is bigger but actual piston size is smaller, this makes the brakes really sensitive and on track I think I would end up pushing too hard and end up locking the rears. The smaller master cylinder would bring the piston to master cylinder ratio back to near standard.
The other option I might do is just buy some 197 brembos and fit them with the brackets and 280mm discs I have.

Yeah you don't want that lol...so you'll need be needing me 300mm discs then lol
It's no bother mate there coming off anyway once the cars back from getting sorted
Chip said the same thing on the same callipers Neil!
Finished under the bonnet today
I have received a set of CL RC8 pads so just waiting on new discs now and will get the system fully bled through.
Not looking forward to keeping the Chronos white while using high carbon content pads, so may end up selling these and keeping my Prorace 2's for my 3rd set of wheels.
