I read all the update last night and wow what an update it was. I think it looks awesome now and still looked awesome before. This may seem petty but its the only thing negative(please dont take it the wrong way) after all the painting done i thought you would have colour coded the door handles? If thats the only negative thing i can point out then you have done an amazing job,you really have. Out of all the UK's front wheel drive drag vauxhalls yours is by far the most purposefull looking and no doubting you WILL get into the 9's. Cant wait to see it at pvs when we hopefully have weather you can get some decent runs down.
Cheers don't like them colour coded so they were re painted black with all the other parts , aim for this year is a 9 sec but that won't happen for a bit till the weather/track improves and the car is set up how I want it
What i said wasent a negative one bit. I just thought from the pics that they wasent painted as i only browse on here on my phone. It is honestly an awesome machine!!! Really cant wait to hear of its first 9 second 1/4. And im sure it will do it no probs. And i read Taylorbooshes comment about you weight saving. That is an impressive amount of weight you have lost which can only help with your times too. All round impressive stuff

smash the cardio i was 18 stone, now 12 st 10. weirdly id rater bike about in the outdoors than drive a car now cant see me having much interest in anything other than the local drag days this year. fair play to you for sticking at it i havent got the patience or the bank roll anymore. its just become far too expensive for me. i cant really justify taxing and mot'ing my corsa this year as im probably just gonna leave it in the garage to rot. never know, might change my mind in a couple of months

Bit of a random thought but would love to see Jeremey Clarkson drive this and hear his opinion because we all know he loves Vauxhalls
