Silverstone was the first round i remembered to give mine back!

Have been changing a few bits on the car last week. First to go was the boot lid which weighed a lot and the standard spoiler not giving enough down force.

Big thanks to Noel at NuR Motor sport for making up the carbon boot lid. It is a great bit of kit and the quality is very good. Not a full boot but just the outer skin, I have fitted it much the same way as a carbon bonnet. using some pins and spacing the carbon to sit flush using small cut offs of rubber hose over the striking bolts. Whilst visiting Noel's workshop he invited me to have a look around at some of the projects he has been working on and the whole process of making up the panels. Really through at there job and he is a gent to boot.
Whilst taking the tour I noticed some other bits and also walked out with a front splitter :chuckle:

Any ways a few pics of the splitter(stay bars are on order) don't want to break it.









A few of the boot lid before the rear wing is fitted. I will be fitting some support to the underside of the lid so it can withstand the force applied to it by the wing. Also flush the back edges a little bit more.












Still a lot to do before Oulton Park.

The rear diff is going to be replaced,
massive thanks to our new sponsor Ben Linney @ GTC

for supplying the new Carbonetics diff, C-West GT wing and GTC inter cooler kit. Thanks very much Ben your a gent :bowdown1:

The geometry needs setting up again, since I have lifted the front end up a bit to stop the wheels bottoming out in the arches. Going to lose some more weight after Oulton

Good update John - glad you took the advice about the rear spoiler

Bit of an aside, what make of bonnet is that on the hawkeye impreza? - looks just what I am looking for on mine.

The STI is my sister in law's, the bonnet is from Monster in Japan, really has to be see to be appreciated. The scoop and main bonnet are from the same mold, unlike some you see with a separate scoop. Every fitting grommet, even the windscreen washer jets where included great bit of kit and very light as well, bought through Miguel at Newera.

Finally managed to clean the dirt and oil out of my eyes The rear diff was removed on Tuesday, Rob removed the old standard unit out and fitted the carbonetics one in it's place. I re fitted it yesterday and went for a little play, very impressed.

A new set of 888's arrived this week also, along with the front stay bars and news's that the rear wing has landed at Heathrow. Looks like I am going to have every thing in place for Oulton with some time to spare

Despite my reservations spoiling the look of the Taisan, very pleased with the results. The extra down force is definitely noticeable and the rear end of the car feels as planted as the front now. I had to fit a tow strap to the front of the car because the factory one is now hidden under the front splitter. I find it hard to believe that the car is ready for Oulton so early.
















Just need to change the oil and gather the tools up, game on
