Tell us about your latest upgrade

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

I'm not sure what it'll be like with the R1R's, but when I had the R888's on, they were terrible for picking up that fine grit/stones etc you get and flinging it at the following car.

Want to get something on there before "run out" season as its a bit more sociable than sandblasting the rest of the convoy!

Well after planning on just enjoying the car and waiting till winter to start tinkering, the tinkering has started early after being unceremonously trailered home by the AA!!, the problem was the distributor so a new one was eventually (3 weeks) sourced and while i was waiting i had a really good look around the car and have now decided to change, rear brake discs, complete suspension, front wishbone bushes top and bottom, both track rod ends, both steering rack boots, upper and lower wishbone joints, thermostat housing, carbs linkage, new foam filter for the 48's, windscreen as it was cracked, rev counter, new rear fog light, powder coat the rocker cover, inlet manifold, the front wishbones, stays for the front arches, most of these jobs i new i had to do when i bought the car but wasn't planning on doing them so soon, hopefully though they will be finished in a few weeks so i can enjoy our forthcoming summer

Replaced the windscreen ( thx John)

I did have an elaborate wheeze based around an on board urinal for April 1st, but didn't have the time to sort it all. It involved a funnel, tubing and a hole in the floor- not that bad an idea really , saves searching for suitable road side bushes.

Decided that maybe it was time to start bringing the old girl up to date a bit, but wanted to retain the period feel at the same time.

Went out and found someone who would manufacture me these in carbon fibre, in a nice wide weave so it would be really stand out. Just need to start fitting them this weekend. Not sure where it will all end!

So what do you think of my new swept wings?

lol good effort Mr C - if only the photoshopping was a bit better

[Cleggy the Spyder Man]

Bit of work to the engine bay from this

to this with a new ali radiator, some Viper Performance hoses and headers wrapped (ignore the pliers on the cam cover)

well £110 lighter I have ordered all the hoses, clips, bung, reducer and joiners to do a similarly neet job on my engine bay - black hoses for me though

will post up when all back together

That's impressive. Are they expensive? I think a £500 option on a GT3

correct - surprising how the £££ tot up as you add things to the list - look out for the surplus hose coming in the wanted section some time soon

As I said at the weekend, I have unused blue lengths left over and about a dozen jubilee clips

Could do with a garage clearout and raise a few pennies...
