Hank Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I just ordered a Bailey Morris driveshaft kit to eliminate my reverse box. Next up is to install the www.Quickshifters.com paddle shift system I received in the mail a few weeks ago. Although I haven't officially finished my car and certified it for road use by the State I have been driving it around the neighborhood a few times. First blat was amazing!!!

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Looks good Cleggy, have you tried it out with the new wheels and stickier tyres yet? yes I have - has made an incredible difference to the sheer grip offered as you would expect - now need to get the car set up properly to fully get the benefit from it Can now get some real g-force going on through corners - sweet As you can see they fit my arches nicely too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenh Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Complete new exhaust system from Matt Simpson, with sports cat, and the biggest silencer I have seen so far on a Westie. It looks the dogs danglies, and I haven't had it polished yet. It tested at 94 dB ! Car is now at Northampton to be made a bit noisier IYSWIM.

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 latest job sorted - yip I can now do some track days with a little more confidence - RAC roll bar now fitted This picture shows the height difference between old and new - a good two inches at least - much safer and obviousley stronger too This one how the car looked when I first had it - nowt wrong with it tbh - but prefer a meaner nore aggresive look and how it looks now - cxr wheels and a048's - vinyl to nose cone - modified cycle wings - westfield rear stoneguards - lifted steering wheel for lanky t**t - RAC roll bar - and a few other bits n pieces It is definately getting near the look I like - next job get rid of the rear lights and get some westy ones - the ali finish on the windscreen is gonna get powder coated if I can bare to take the car off the road - then maybe a V8 bonnet - then on with the serious stuff of making it lighter with more bhp - omg its gonna get real expensive from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
