Sorry for the lack of updates! We had a baby daughter so not much chance to get out in the car recently.
I've removed 90% of the graphics in preparation for a new wrap design coming next year. I've also started writing a 2020 shopping wish list including a carbon trunk lid, high level wing, new front pads, new tyres and a lightweight battery. We'll see what the coming months bring. Still optimistic for at least one more trackday before the summer's out too! |

Also, some nice interior shots I've been meaning to post. Nothing new here but the custom leather bolster protectors are doing a sterling job of protecting the Sparcos, and the steering wheel is still lovely to both look at and drive with!

Thanks Don.
4 weeks in and starting to settle into it on the fatherhood front... Which meant I was allowed a couple of hours to get out in the Z on the back roads on what turned out to be a beautiful Summer's evening. Also took the diveplanes off, just for a change in look for a while. It looks good both with and without I think Entered it into a local show on Sunday night, then maybe sneak in one more trackday before the Autumn comes...

Not figured it out yet. With my fixed back race seats I think I'll leave it until she's big enough to clamber back there for herself! I left the rear seatbelts in and I've done a junior school prom runs for kids, but wouldn't want to try and mount a baby seat to the isofix I don't think!

Just read through your full 20 pages except for the the actual racing commentary since I’m more interested in the technical parts. Really interested in the brake ducts since I have a set and running ZL1 brakes and the caliper bolts how expensive were they and what’s the two spec for them? Also did you notice any improvements with the ridge collars? I hope I didn’t miss it.
I’ve built my SS up pretty well with Z28/ZL1/1LE parts and getting ready for a cam and head swap to hopefully get me to Z28 levels if not just short. Only a few things left to do like DSE LCAs, some aero bits(almost full panning), and more track focused wheels and tires.

Definitely interested in a set of duct adapters, also looking to duct the tears as well some how using Z06 ducting, and yeah how much for the bolts an anti seize would be a big concern as well.
I’m working on my rear brakes I’m currently getting hardware together to use Z28 rear hats with a set of DBA ceramic to iron brake conversion rings so it will be a very unique setup when I’m done....
