It has been a while since I last updated the blog due to holiday and work commitments, but I finally managed to get some time with the car on Saturday.

As you know, I still have a number of minor issues that I am working my way through. I will document these in later entries.

For now, I have been keen to get the car bolted together and go for a drive!

Undertray modification

The Stack kit mounts the engine pretty low and as far forward as possible and because of this, the undertray has to be modified to ensure that it doesn't catch the bottom of the sump.

First job was to remove the off side naca duct by drilling out the rivets...

Then to aid cooling, cut two slits either side of the opening...

Then bend outwards to act as a scoop and ram more air in the space between the undertray and the engine.

Once that was done, I decided to reverse the car up the ramps (I couldn't be bothered to jack the car up) and started working on the installation.

TIP: I used this opportunity to double check and spanner fixings, check for leaks or anything unexpected

After an hour or so, she started looking like her old self again...

Still unwashed and full of operation scars, but with a little TLC, she will hopefully be looking better than ever...

Still to do:-

1. Correct installation of the exhaust pipe (Some issues there)

2. Re-fit the wheelarch liners

3. Sort out my rev counter issue (revs not being displayed on the Stack)

So, getting there.

As for the undertray installation - its job done!
