Just applied for it. Fill in the forms and pay the cash = bingo. You'd better join a motorclub as well. I joined Stonehaven & District MC.
I got the National B non race competition licence.

Whits the Stoney club like, are they alright?
I thought about joining the Aberdeen one as it's closer to me and I thought it would be bigger.
So it's not a full race licence you need?
Not too sure to be honest, not been along to any of the events yet because i keep missing them. A few of my mates are members it'll be sound.
Nope just the National B for all the MSA speed events. Have a wee look on the MSA website.

Will have a chat to you about the bushes, as haven't been 100% on the rears.
Not a fan of the bonnetbeeing raised up but hey if it serves a purpose then who cares.

I've not got the rears on yet but Alex says they're good and half the price of the VT ones!!
It took me many months of swithering before i actually did it but i think it looks better when you see the whole car.
I'm back on the 11th.![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
It's nearly there. The welder and up to know illusive gas are getting dropped off next week so the cage and harness bar will be fitted soon after. Once that lot is welded in place i can paint the inside then it's MOT time.
I've still got to stripped the G60 box to get the bits i want and i've got a man pricing up a LSD for me. But i'll be getting it MOT'd and insured before i do the gearbox etc.
Still to fit:
WOT BOX
Rear Beam Bushes
Drivers side Top Mount & Bearing & Wishbone bushes
Seats, the mounts are all made it they just need bolted in once the welding and painting is finished.
Harnesses
RAF M-Sport is on the case

Looking good Baz, you thinking about putting protective film (clear) down the sides of the car.
Looking at the last picture of your car there is a bit that the wheel arches doesn't cover that will get pebble dashed on the track.
The front end looks mean, will be seeing alot of that in my mirror soon.
Looking forward to seeing the beastie in action soon

Allen,

The subframes are the sparco ones for the mk3 but instead of using universal rails i've extended the front bracket that the small locking bolt at the front goes so that the seats are bolted straight on to the subframe(no sliding). I had to strenghten the frames a fair bit as they are very flexible.
I should have just welded on two sections of box beam quite low to the floor then sat the seats on side mounts and sliders like most people do, I'll do this at some point once i get the rest of the stuff i want done.
What do you mean you'll be seeing it in your mirror Willie, have you been drinking??
There hasn't been a problem with stones coming forward off the back wheels in the last 8 years so i can't see them starting now dude but I've got black mudflaps like Robdon's to go on the front.
Cheers Mark.

Thanks lads. It's taken a while
The plan is to use it for track days, 1/4, sprints, hillclimbs and nice days.
I'm getting the map re-done by one of the guys up here so once that's done and all the gearbox related stuff is sorted out it should be good.
