    Thanks for your nice comments :D

    It's my car that is being built by this garage. I'm usually over there at least once a week talking about what we are going to do next...

    A bit more progress..

    Thanks Matt.

    The car has been built around 17's because of the tyre choice available. 15's just don't offer the tyre sizes it would need to be on a level playing field with everyone else.
    It will be on it's arse, so the 17's should look ok :)

    Arches done

    Front panel modded slightly to fit the intercooler in, otherwise it would have had to be on the outside. I didn't want that.

    Thanks :)

    The initial plan for fueling was going to be internal fuel pump in the tank and feed it to a swirl pot in the back of the van and then on to the engine.

    My friend told me to look at a motorsports tank with the swirl pot inside the tank... Which makes sense really, it saves space and it will be safer as there is no need to run fuel lines into the car. So here is what we came up with...

    So there are 2 pumps now inside the tank, 1 feeding the other which is enclosed in a smaller tank, which then sends fuel onto the engine. No unnecessary messy pipes running into the car. :)
