Door sides design was changed for ease of access, but they are removable for even easier access when not on track days.
Need to paint this next, thinking a bold colour like Gold to match the wheels, or even the same Blue as the smurf engine...

Do you notice any weight difference?

also i needed to adjust the FM short shifter to be at the slackest setting as 2nd gear was getting pretty bad (still needs fixing this winter) so sorted that too;

Looking sweet. 8)

Is that a 5th gen gear shift assembly you have in there?

i wouldn't have a clue tbh - the guy from R-motion that did the conversion many moons ago used a 4g breaker he had afaik. i've never looked at another 4g or 5g gear shift assembly

sadly it hasnt been a daily driver since i first had a company car about 6/7 years ago, but it has an mot and i go for drives out in her 8) i would hate to daily this now, it doesnt like slow moving traffic :lol:
Yes i did look at Merlin's for inspiration but a) i didnt want to take out the dash like his to fit mine, b) mine isnt part of any racing series so doesnt need to be of any particular FIA style spec and c) i wanted the removable sides so it makes working on it and using it on drives out much easier.
The fm short shift in the pic is set to longest throw, i checked by measuring it plus it feels much slacker than before as it was on the top hole of 3. the higher it is the further away from the box it is, hence its then a shorter and tighter feel - if you compare it to the stock shifter, the cable lock is right at the bottom and so even nearer to the box again

:) at least you had a look at the fm shifter settings ;) i used to have one on my old BB4 but shifter went with the car when i sold it last year - nice bit of kit but i dont really miss it that much unless i miss a gear once in a while and wish i had kept the fm and swapped it into the BB1...

i like the removable bars in your set up - in merlins track car the bar that goes above the door were a bit of a pain - dont know if youve got the same issue - i was always bumping my head off the passenger side one.
guess it is not a daily - if only the roads were good and speedbumps removed......
