Looking forward to seeing “babe” out on track!

I like how quickly you took the decision to buy, and got a load of jobs sorted. I think it took me > a year of messing about before I even decided to buy a track slag!

When you’re buying some coil overs and wheels and you get a free car it wasn’t hard to not get in there.

Finally had a bit of time to work on Babe and managed to completely strip out the remaining interior. Also did a spot of shopping and bought some OMP bucket seats and Harnesses. I couldn’t wait for a gearbox rebuild and LSD so in the meantime I’ve just had an OE clutch replaced and I can get back out and have a play. Hopefully I should have the seats,harnesses and a new Sparco steering wheel all fitted next week and be on track at Silverstone in November.

Lol. Turn your volume up. It’s bouncing off the Rev limiter most of the time. :FIREdevil:

Cheers Ian. My natural Squint helps to block out the sun. 🤪

So it has been a while since I did anything major to Babe. Since last time I managed not to break anything and had another day at Silverstone and did Bedford in January.
Quite a few of us from this forum have booked the Nurburgring in April so it was time to put the big boy pants on and get cracking on some upgrades.

Full 6 point roll cage. (Fitted it myself)
An expensive gearbox rebuilt with Quaife LSD.
Solid top mounts.
Fully polybushing of all suspension
Powder coating galore.

Oh and I took my AST suspension off for a refurbishment and only to discover that they are Fcuked. It would cost as much as a new set to rebuild. So I have bought a brand new set of AST5100 costing a few quid short of £2k. Babe is booked in to have the gearbox fitted next week and all the shiny stuff will be fitted at the same time.
More pictures to follow when it’s all done.
