Couple of shots from my last trackday in April before the clutch exploded.

It's all pieced back together now and just needing a final spanner check before the next outing.

Hopefully lockdown is lifted soon.

Long overdue update. Carbon fibre sedoupe guards made. Flares installed and 255/40/17 tyres on 17x9.5" rims.

The additional level of mechanical grip is amazing!

A drop of 3kg of unsprung mass per corner is great!

Slowly chipping away.  The redone hybrid coupe/evo sedan guards are pretty much done, I have blanked the indicator opening and am just spending a bit of time refining the surface before making the new fibreglass moulds.

 

Have had the 255/40/17 tyres fitted to the Enkei RPF1s and fitted them up for a final clearance check to the front guards and to have a play with the position of the front flares.

 

Will make the carbon guards in an unmodified shape and then trim them up to fit the flares and air diversion guides.  This will give me flexibility to make more parts in the future and change the shape if I like. Will bolt the flares to the carbon guards.  The plan is for the guards and flares to be in body colour.

A bit of an update! Am making slow progress to piece it back together.

Made moulds for the sedoupe guards but they are not great, so having another go this weekend.
Plan is to make the actual parts in carbon for super light weight.

Also replacing the dash with a carbon skin. Weighs nothing!

The new front end setup should remove weight as all the reinforcements and towing plates are being stripped.

Am thinking about having a crack at dabbling in a bit of carbon and fibreglass work - a new front bar will be on the cards.

Yeah I'm looking into doing that. I'm going to make another set of sedan/coupe guards and then cut moulds off them.

Some great progress is being made on the tubular front end! Upper rad support is done.

Had a bit of a bingle with a tyrewall at Winton last Saturday. Fortunately the damage was limited to the radiator support and RHS guard - but still a good excuse to finally start implementing the big wheel and tyre upgrade.

Going to 17x9.5 rims with 255 AO50 tyres...

Considering the rad support needs work I've decided to go with a tubular setup now with pin attachment points for the front bar (V8 Supercar style). Because racecar
