It was already there when my dad bought the car! My dad was 6ft1 and drove with a helmet because she's only got an aeroscreen. Some of the welding isn't the nicest...

Is anyone going to Curborough next weekend? Is it just one day or both? Just thinking of popping over if there are some entries from our Club.

A vast improvement! Well done.

I've never seen a roll hoop with that extra extension on top before! For a tall driver I guess? Or if wearing a helmet maybe? Seems like an excellent idea to me.

As some of you know, my little green car had its MOT June 6th. Well she passed, and we are going out today for some more familiarisation with driving her. We are planning on going to the Coleshill Auto Breakfast Meet Big Day Out on the 29th as that was the last event my dad drove her to before he passed. If anyone is in the Midlands area and fancies joining me, the more the merrier. https://www.coleshillautobreakfastmeet.org/event-details-registration/big-day-out-all-day-event

Wow, who do you insure with to get that as a courtesy car - you defo didn’t tick “equivalent courtesy car on the policy!” - but seriously hope your insurance is solved quickly 🤞🙏

Suppose ill have to make my contribution, mine the day i picked her up. 😁

Forgive me that again about MNR (but with Westfield also ) Finished video from my first without issues trackday training and first time with hard /ish usage od bike engine Part of track line was the same as I was driving Westfield lata year . Looks that on this section time is similar. But Westfield was on racing slick tyres . And I was used to drive Westfield hard. Mnr was on semislicks yokohama a052 (great tyres btw) . Driven careffuly because IT was first time she was working and all new (including me sitting on wrong side of the car ) . Westfield with plate type LSD. front and rear ARB. Mnr open diff no ARBs etc etc Mnr Mnr vs Westfield

Wow I am impressed that You managed to do it alone without other person pouring foam ! I had a chance recently to really hard test foam seat proper time on track and IT is day and night compared to fixed dimensions grp or carbon shell seat type. Btw the same Day there was 3 formuła 3 cars on tests. The same foam seats "construction" . Also finished with tape. Worth to follow raster and better rather than better looking designs

Helmsley North Yorkshire on our trip to Scarborough. It was after 5 when arrived at Scarborough so didn’t stop. Called in at Helmsley, & Thornton le Dale.

Are you heading off to the continent as well.

New set of wheels, well for 10 days it is. Still waiting on insurance with any decision.

hi Russell welcome to wscc great choice of colour I run my car very low as well i agree with the boys great build but really need to fill those arches with spaced or wider wheels i run without spacers.

Here for sale is a set of early zk bodywork Red in colour used Detachable rear arch tub Rear arches Standard zk bonnet V8 ducted nose Scuttle This is used and has some black decals on it but still very useble but if you want to mint this is not for you I will post some pics maybe tomorrow £1100 Collection only !

I have a pair of old Sabelt harnesses that came in my car. Straps are sound and the buckles work but they seem to come loose quite easily so I changed them for another set. They are old and there is a bit of oxidation in the adjusters but if they're any use, paid up club members are welcome to come and pick them up FOC from just outside Bicester (M40 J9).

In the diary!

Welcome, the car looks great! It'll be interesting to see the bumper solution! As others have said, the rear ride height does look a little low. They handle best with the rear 20-30mm higher than the front (plenty of threads on here to help with that) and it will help reduce understeer. I also run 15mm hubcentric bolt on spacers but that is so I can run 13x8 ET23 rear wheels with 215/55 or 235/45 tyres. Without the spacers, a 15x8 ET24 still fills the rear arches well with 205/50's.

A few different shots cos it does seem the picture angle makes a difference, but here is how mine look. Not an FW I know but visually the arch filling should be about the same on both I'd guess? Of course it's also personal taste to some extent but I love the way mine look. All credit goes to previous owners!

This is where I have mine set, all to accommodate these wonderful Scottish roads!

Same brand I have on my Jaguar XK, top quality spacers Direnza.

I agree, looks great, best colour (I am biased), but it looks like your rear ride height is low and your wheels need to fill the arches more, so maybe spacers or wider rims? Mainly cosmetic, but it would look, and probably ride and handle better too.
