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....
