Quick update, and atlast our car arrived today, looking good as it had the body on it and 17" wheels which were just touching the tyres. It was great to hear it running and its not that loud considering the exhuast system, but I am checking it over the weekend which could be fun.
It was fantastic as Mark told me I could drive it even though it only had a handbrake but still we a great buzz to drive it along the street & annoy the nieghbours, haha.
There are a few pics there will be more uploaded onto our website shortly,
ps judgeing by the shadow I am presuming the sun was quite high
pps must be a good feeling driving it for the first time? I am there apart from SHAFTS THOUGHT MEASURING THEM WOULD BE AN easy job but it's fracking hard!!
Craig,
Firstly it is a crap picture, secondly im NOT a dick, when Mark told me to jump in I didnt care what I looked like jsut wanted to drive it.
The sun was high as it was about 2.30 but I'm getting a few better pics over the weekend etc.
Driveshafts, haha. We didnt have that problem as we are using the standard civic shafts, it took a lot of working out though but it was all worth it.
John,
Me, but who is Tim Westwood?
Grant,
The rears are rubbing and the front just clear for turning etc, Marlin cut as little as possible out of the arches, as the body is being changed a little, I only asked for the body to clear & it does once the race wheels are on then they will be finished so they dont rub, once it comes back from the body shop it will not rub & ill grap a few pictures.
I am there apart from SHAFTS 
and it seems to have worked a treat
