Good progress Huw!

You thought about perspex/lexan windows for it to help with the weight loss?

Too many times lol. I really want to, but being an everyday car not sure of the security, and then the front windows, i'd still want them to go up and down :/ who knows maybe in future sometime

Clean car, like the new wheels, though the dashboard needs some work!

Not a great update, but since my car has been back on the road it hasn't really run spot on, misfiring on cold start ups, hesitating while driving normal, but drove fine flat out. So did a compression test and it came back low on one cylinder

I was going to take it back off the road and solve the problem, but i couldn't handle not driving it for however long again.
So last week i bought a new engine and dropped it in over the weekend, wish i hadn't bothered, forgot how much of a job it was! But its in and running

So i shall whip my head off the other engine this week and see whats the problem, and then build it back up

Few random pics i took

Oh and my new sticker

Finally got round to sorting my wiring this week
Taking all the original civic engine, sunroof, radio, door and speaker looms out. Wish i never started tbh, but it looks better now.



Removed my front fogs as one was cracked, so now have 2 big holes in my bumper so added a tow strap through one



Also added some bigger canards



Cut my front wings up for 'aero' lol


Also did the rear bumper, still have my rear diffuser to fit aswell















I really want the car down to 1000kgs, which im not sure is even possible :dunno:/> last time it was weighed it was 1080kg, since then i would estimate i have removed 65kgs. But i am also adding weight with arb's, braces etc.
