It would be easy enough to make in Ti, they would be heat treated and case hardened if I have them made.

Liking that Andrew.

Bought new suspension, brakes & ARB's. (thanks to Andy @ Podium Prep)

The guys at Quest have done the 2 repairs to the front floorpans and work has started on the full cage. Decided to go with imola red on the inside & white on the outside.

Just waiting on a call from Martin to say the fiberglass M3 bumpers are ready. Just need to work out best way to mount them? Any suggestions guys?

No, not personally, but have read good reviews of BC coilovers and priced well compared to alternatives. They appear to be better made than the more common alternatives too.

I'll continue using Hawk pads with the Wilwoods as I was really impressed with them.

Will you be using the 6kg/6kg spring rates on track? Might be a bit too soft.

Although, i suppose the car will be ~900kg maybe?

Andrew - can you fabricate these to sell or suggest someone maybe?

I've got pretty much everything when it comes to parts. The floorpan is repaired and work has started on the cage at www.questmotorsport.co.uk so it's all coming together.

Have decided to go with S54 power.
