WEEK 13 OF THE BUILD AND THE GAZ SUSPENSION IS IN.

We had a couple of installation problems at first, as the new springs to match the AO48 tyres are shorter and wider than before, so we initially had some clearance problems, but once we had established the problem they fitted perfectly and give the car a very agressive stance. EBC supplied the new brake discs and pads, so those were fitted together with new drive shafts, bearings and anti-roll bar drop links. Now we have to drop the rear to suit and re-bush the whole suspension.



With the engine in, we fitted gas struts to keep it up out of the way and bonnet pins to keep it closed. We added a new steering wheel and final positioned the Cobra Evo seat and Sabelts. The incar wiring still needs to be completed under the dash before we can fire it up again, but all the panels are on and we are jusr waiting for a new screen to be fitted before it goes off to SPOOXs for a final check and minor electrics.



The aim is to get onto an airfield within the next two weeks and then to Mallory on the 18th.
