Erm it's left hand looking from the front so passenger side, pretty packed with turbo and piping, alternator etc, will be a squeeze but should work.

Cars pissing me off, needs a new front subby as it's cracked on the bit at the rear going down to the body, and cleaning under the shockmounts I made a hole. Bastard car. At least it an excuse to make a neat subframe with the rosejointed stuff.

decided to toughen not lighten my subby now... safe rather than sorry im thinking.

some bits arrived at my house over the last week:









and martain (MRA) has done some exelent machining on the cnc mill on... something... which will looks spot on on my car. :)

went to build the diff assembly up today but i was missing a part so progress will have to carry on next week...

:)

That flywheel bolt may not work. The head has been known to be to tall for assemblies.

I don't understand you fully, too tall for what? Its below the level of the damper.

well martain made this for me, all cnc cut. looks like this after a final blast over, love the result :)









will show off the allyflywheel lovely, about a 300-350ish gram saving over a standard casting, but not too much taken out to compramise the strength.

looks holey mate.
