The beauty of coilovers is that I can lift the ride height up a tad if needed, but at the moment I don't need too.

cool man this must be a time and hell lot of money consuming "hobby" you got here

Looking great!

You guys work really quick huh, and doing a quality job.

Must be a mad car to drive with the interior gone.. any idea what the power to weight ratio is?

Loving those speedline rims, they suit the car perfectly. It's good to see your not doing all that bodykit chav stuff to that car

Hopefully there will be nothing 'chav' about my car - it is for that exact reason I painted my rear drums black before the disc conversion.

We worked our arses off over the weekend. I got home from Bristol at 2am in the morning and was up for 6am to goto work.

As I have stated in my Walish diary - there will be no corners cut in this project. Yes, it is costing a fair bit - more than most would spend on a Fezza which is fair enough. But the satisfaction of doing a job well is worth it's weight in gold. 0X

As for power to weight, well by the time I have finished it will be between 250 and 300 bhp/tonne.

Thamar, Xenons are an interesting issue over in the UK - they are not really legal, but I have and will continue to look into them. I have other priorities currently though.

I have updated walish with some more detail - so go and have a look there.

I will try and finish the updates tomorrow so you will know exactly where I am at
