Moar exciting bits arrived. Fancy new Time Attack Cold Lap light and a new Cartek electronic kill switch. Hopefully this kill switch is better than the last one I had on my Civic. Should be as it's rated double the load of the old ones.

Pretty much finished the front half, back half should be finished tonight. Door bars in. Going to have to do something with the doors to make door cards clear the roll cage door bars. Should be able to keep winders intact, which although will add weight I still want to keep them.

Done it to MSA regs, there are other bars that could go in but that's all we need for now to meet the MSA blue book regs. We are going to add back in the bracing between the rear strut top once the bulkhead is done.

Get to keep the window winders in.

Cage done. We are wrapping the cage in the front half of the car in faux suede. Posh ;) dash now back in minus the air bag, carpets minus some of the sound deadening. Plus awesome new rota grids arrived.

This time of light weight lexan variety, and the only bit of the car we didn't do ourselves. Will have the door windows in tomorrow, also plastic but they'll still function as normal, got plastics4performance to add a special hard coating that cost a fortune so should last well:)

I don't think there will be a huge difference once the inner skin, wiper motor etc have been removed.

You'll be surprised I reckon :thumbs: The window motor does weigh a bit but the boot itself is pretty damn heavy.

2b5460acd00a67055d5049a7c57fe345.jpg got the last few jobs done today to get the Z ready for its first outing tomorrow. Just about managed to get the fuse box tucked away, now the cage is in the way. The front lexan windows are in too. Let see how it goes:).
