Thanks for the comments!

This is the first time I've attempted anything of this magnitude on my own car, its far more daunting doing it on your own car than on one that you're not paying for. I studied Automotive Engineering Design at university and spent the four years there working as part of the Formula Student race team where I worked on 4 of 5 different cars and was part of a team who stripped, modified and rebuilt one of the cars in my final year.

I also worked for Mitsubishi Ralliart Europe in Rugby for a year working with the WRC team whilst the development of the WRC2004 Lancer was being done. So I picked up a lot of information and tips of how things should be done from the various departments there. I know how things should be done but whether I can put those into practice or not is purely down to my skill level when working on the parts. I'm learning new skills all the time so this car is more or less going to be one to develop my works. My next cars should get better and better

Top project, keep up the good work!!

Brian220 · 18th October 2006, 07:15 PM

Bloody hell Bryn, I knew you were doing something but didn't realise the immensity of the project.

It looks like you've put many hours of thought, planning, time and effort in.
Looks cracking !!

Yeh almost a year in the making now! Should be ready come March time

Bryn, I have followed this one from the start as you know. I cannot believe how much time, effort, planning and funds have gone into this but it really is something else to watch develop mate.

I cannot wait to see it finished, I would still go with plan A and buy a £500 lump to learn to drift in - can you imagine how gutted you would be if you bent it

jae · 18th October 2006, 07:50 PM

Is a thing of wonder. Taff, as someone who is mechanically challenged by spanners, I can safely say this is a joy to behold and I think the Bee*R kit will look the utter canis testes on it. Awesome.

Yeh been looking at some Volvo 340's for some cheapo drift fun with a welded diff just to learn the basics in!

Just make sure you dont give up now you've got this far, there's nothing better than looking at a project of this scale from start to finish.
