Looks like a very large spider had made a web around willies, or is it a cacoon waiting to hatch.
Aye its been a while since I got to fiddle with it but soon, very soonThought I would update willies thread. I checked the oil level on mine today and the dust level on his
Phil, nail on head, cacoon.
It's going to be slightly transformed when it emerges.
Hot news!!!
So after possibly 1 1/2 year of no purchases for my track baby I've just completed 2!!
For me both are pretty exciting, other maybe not so.
For years we have been waiting for a proper KO4 exhaust manifold. There have been promises of ghreat things for several suppliers but due to one issue or another its has never really come good. But now there is some light.
Sam Bryant has been in touch with a company and sourced what look on paper like a great solution. This has been tested on a KO4 hybrid with great results. As yet there are no results for a Stage 2 KO4. There are plenty on the go so results should be out soon.
I will get mine within the next month but car won't be on the road for a few months.
For those who don't know about this its made by Relentless and is a Stainless Steel manifold
Next up.
As we all know, proper track cars are fully polybushed. So, this one aint going to be any different. My mate is now a supplier of SuperPro polybushes so I got the full set of race/track spec ones. I will be fitting these and possibly powder coating subframe and LCA's before. I'll see what the time and cost constraints are for this.
As you can see there is still a long way to go with this project and I plan to see it to the end. Where and when the end will be I'm not too sure but TBH I don't plan to be at the end till its caged and trailer only.

So glad to see things are back in motion with this Willie. Iv not been in many LCR's and only been in yours once, but honestly never been in a car like it. Looking forward to seeing you on track this season. Keep up the good work young man!
Why thank you kindly Miss Cowie.
She'll be even more of a beast when she's back on the road. Hoping for bigger figures and more shuve too.

I will be at Knockhill all season to cheer you on This LCR will be a weapon once done I think.
More power and more shuve = Big smiles for Willie!

Yeah for sure, he is doing the Sports and Saloons racing too hopefully both at KH and Croft. His rebuilt engine should be in this month. Think the little Nov will surprise a few people!

nice purchases mate, make sure you let us know how you get on with the mani as I'm very interested in getting one but waiting for results. I'd love to get mine polybushed (not race/track spec bushes though) this thing will be a weapon, crack on mate I want to see it finished

Ah so its a race car rather than a track car. Do you have a link to a build thread for it?Yeah for sure, he is doing the Sports and Saloons racing too hopefully both at KH and Croft. His rebuilt engine should be in this month.
I doubt it will ever be finished.

not for years but will gradually get more and more extreme till its a full on trailered car. If I had £15,000 spare I could jump straight to this stage just now. Shame I don't and won't for a few years
He doesn't have a build thread He's done all work himself other than engine. But I know its only 760kgs and is sitting at 195bhp. You will see him at track days!

This baby aint dead yet.
Hoping to crack 300 BHP but worry about losing out in some valuable torques.
I'm sure there are more to come in my set up so would love to have 300 BHP and 300 ft-lbs.
That's the dream anyway

Hey wull...... Where did you get the superpro bushes. Do they have contact details or a website ? I hear the superpro bushes are more compliant for more road use than track use, but they cope really well on the track too. Nice compromise really.
I'm glad you asked that kwalker705.
These SuperPro bushes were purchased through my good friend and owner of http://unit-15.com/ and can also be found https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Unit15/287364804639981?sk=info
My car is being a bit of a test mule for future developements within this company so if you have any needs that this guys supplies, at great prices, then these can be trial fitted to my to to ensure alls good.
