Build update
Was back in the UK last week for a few days, and have hit my first major milestone on the car, took best part of a day but my engine is now in the rear of the car. Plenty of bruises and shed blood in the process.
Quite pleased with its position in the car with the new mounts, it has almost perfect alignment between the rear hubs and the driveshafts so no nasty angles. Mind I will have to either extend the engine loom or find a new place for the ECU it wont reach the dash now.
All of the engine including the exhaust was above the rear lower chassis rails so it shouldnt ground out on the sump even if the ride height is low.
Will try and post some pic's when I'm back for a weekend in early Nov and have better access or if I can pursuade Gareth to add some before.
Have sent off the exhaust and one of the mounts so my hydraulic clutch slave mount can be finalised by the guys at Talon Sportscars and a Lamda sensor boss added to the exhaust manifold. Should be done by my return in December so can refit then.
