Fenders and arches are done with rivets. Haven hear of anybody glueing them on before. Cant imagine them fitting if you were to use glue to be honest, they require a bit of stretching and messing around with to get them perfect. Its a drift car its going to get a bump and crack anyway. Just dont be hitting off it and it won't crack
Hmm still think the only way to lighten the back end is like how we done the white one!!!Quote:

Very true. next on the list!lol
No cracks on mine yet but sure wouldn't bother me anyway! As soon as possible Rory funds depending
I haven't posted anything up here in a while so a little update. I got out for punchestown and a half day in mondello since I have it finished but my driving hasn't been great. I'm finding a little hard to get use to the car and setup. It has been setup with lots of grip on the rear on the last alignment which is just how I wanted it but I reckon i'm going to have to scale it back and then dial it in slowly and ease myself into it. And the tap in tullow put the s**** up me a bit I think!
Anyway here is some pics of the bump steer correction tie rod ends I had made up to fit with the Japspeed tie rods. Bump steer correction is adjustable in 5mm increments up to 30mm.

This has reduced the lock somewhat as the tie rod ends are now reaching the lower arm sooner because of their increased size and length.
I will be looking at getting something done with the lower arms shortly to eliminate this
Car is off getting some tlc before the weekend over at DI motorsport.
New gearbox in, new floor pans getting installed, rear wheels getting spaced out to try and fill the arches along with some changes to the suspension and steering setup, polycarb windows removed and sealed (didn't get around to doing them the first time in the rush), removing a few other parts and cleaning them up and painting them (also didn't get done previously in the rush for completion).
Have a Dmax spoiler waiting to go on too so should be looking a bit more aggressive now with a few small changes :afro:
She will look well after them changes. It looks great now but that spoiler is doing nothing for it :pQuote:

Car has had a remap and a few exterior changes since I last posted up here. pics below
I also picked up a japspeed engine damper of slithrtooth yesterday and some new front and rear polyurethane anti roll bar bushings to complete the arb as it has the drop links already. Hopefully be fitting them in the next couple days.
Doesn't look like it will sell this side of xmas so I want to get out for one more practise day and then start stripping for the winter rebuild. Will be getting proper paint job this time round hopefully!
Thats all for now :cool:
