At 22 i've never really thought about it lol..

We're keeping the ABS and we will eventually have after market traction control (http://www.racelogic.co.uk/?show=Traction_Control).

As i was just writing this post i've had confirmation of a company who are willing to make driveshafts for the project at quite a reasonable price (maintaining the original ABS rings).

Re: The Project Begins





I'm afraid the colour scheme is how it was purchased, its not too bad to get along with for now.

I spent some of yesterday sourcing some Kit-Car parts. I'll be using parts easily obtainable obviously.

I can assure everyone they'll be plenty of pics, the ones in my above post have all been re-sized. I'll be putting together a website with full res/size pictures for everyones enjoyment .

Theres also talk between me and my dad of a DVD of the whole build, testing, and final stages.. should be quite exciting!

I've researched the brake and clutch hardware, so when the time comes that'll be ordered and fitted. If everything goes to plan we'll be using a hydraulic clutch and discs all round.

This weekend we should have the subframe out (dark evenings prevent us doing this in the week :frown, we'll take measurements and get everything imported to CAD for a little design work.

To be continued...
