Wow. Loving the front airjacks! I'll take no credit for that as this was Nickson Motorsports idea, really good from a space point of view to have them popping through in the engine bay rather than the cabin.
With the cage and pedal box there really wouldnt have been much room for an airjack tube.
Someone asked about bodystyling yesterday...to answer that, yes we'll definately be going wider. Want at least 10-11" rear wheels on there which will mean some arch mods and a kit which allows this much arch width to accomdate a wider wheel.
Not overly concerned with an off the shelf 'street' widebody kit as getting the aero right is more important than the overall looks.
Sadly though it seems there is a serious lack of kit in the UK and most will have to be brought in from the US and Japan which always bothers me from a carrier damage point of view!

On a serious note because i know you've been weighing kit you've removed from the car, do you know the weight of the MIG wire that's been added to the car?
I'm not suggesting for one minute that the extra weight of the welding outweighs the benefit of all the seam welding. But there must be a good few hundred metres of weld on that chassis now and the weight of the wire must be a good few KG's.
