I still have an enclosed trailer Spook but it's more of a storage shed with wheels ATM.

Not too much being done car wise, I have had a couple of weeks away and work is off tap so one thing has to give.
I have been buying bits for the coupe though.
My stack injection should be here this week and a few other parts have turned up that will help with the car going together quicker once it's underway.

Look forward to the details on your stack system... is it an LS series motor you are fitting it to.?

I will admit to having worked for Ford at one time but that's it.

I have looked at it lots of times but that is about it.
The house is just weeks away now so the last push is on!

Hope its going well with the house.. Will look forward to following your build when you get back onto it.

Have you been watching the FF cars site and seen the new bits they have for the Coupe..?

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris,
I have been following what's going on over there and it would see that the direction that FFR are taking with the coupe now is the complete opposite to what I am doing.
If I was after a track car the new Gen3 coupe would be awesome.

We will be in the house in the next week or so, so Easter is looking like my kick off weekend for the build.
A little bird told me another Gen2 coupe arrived in the country the other day so I'm looking forward to following that build too!

The new car has gone away from the round tube chassis to a space frame.
Super strong and will be a track weapon.
Not to mention that they are offering all sorts of stuff like spoilers and splitters too.

Not what I'm doing though.
I'll just be torturing tyres in mine
