Looks like it will be a great project! Interested to see how you go with the 240 front brake conversion. Another guy in our club has been working on that as...

Jesus Christ!

That head above is a work of art.

Perhaps I just haven't seen that much head in my life (Ed. Ziiiing) I never thought about making an angled wedge to enlarge, and better position the port runner.

Any more photos of the combustion chamber?

So 850 rear calipers bolt straight up? Using original non vented disc?

Just carefully drill the mounting holes out to the larger 142 size and they're good to go. There's enough slack in the hard lines to bend them to the correct angle to fit the calipers and the thread is the same

Just plugging away. I’ll post some photos and give more of a run down after the weekend :)

So I took some time off from the car as it was becoming a bit of a chore. But I’m now stuck back into it.

The brakes are done, all new lines, rebuilt master, etc. just need to be bled.
The interior is coming along. Flocked the dash, it didn’t turn out that great because I used a fast acting glue and when I went to re apply it pulled a lot of old flock off and made it fuzzy. I’ll re do it one day after nationals.

Just getting into cutting the rear guards and putting the flares on for good.

The flasher relay has had water damage or a capacitor has leaked so I need to put a new one in.

The car now runs off its own petrol tank and new pump.

Heaps of little things have been done.

Koni adjustable front and rear etc

Hard parking is serious business.

I love the flat seats with a roll cage.

If you don't feel like you're gonna die in a 40kmh crash are you even alive?

I don’t think you’re giving the bolt where the crossbeam connects to the upright enough credit.

Sorry. I do like it, and The removable cross bar is all good.

I cant think of the word, almost self defeating I guess? Like, You can run a bucket seat to hold you in that wont allow you to whack the roll cage on a hard corner or in an accident just as easily as recovering and removing the head rests on your seats.

But I over think issues and worry too much about worst case scenarios.

Hahaha I’m agreeing with you.
What I meant about the bolt is that it would cause a fair bit of damage to the skull.

I did put the nut on the backside though... so a lot of care has been taken ;)
