| Excellent, looking very good. I'd love to do an engine conversion to my Cappo, but just too costly at the moment. |

latest pics - car is being sprayed - not sure what the bonnet will ultimately look like, and not sure whether my take off arches are being used or new arches being fabricated..
note the rear wheels now corrected in terms of off set - so no spacer being used, and also perimeter bolts in place |

Damn this car is going to look fine.
It's already really nice, I find the shapes agressive yet well balanced.
What read bumper is that by the way ? It seems to get along really well with this bootlid. |

I like the alternator kit, is it one you can buy or one they've made up?
Not sure that the flat-sided plenum won't crack on the welds though... it's a pressure-vessel at the end of the day and they should always have curved faces. You don't put forces into a flat panel, ever. You're putting bending loads into the faces where you should have tensile loads (which are much better dealt with). The will put great stress on the welds, especially at the corners. |

Hi,
Thx! here are the latest pics. Will ask about the plenum. There is a gap between bonnet & bumper that shouldn't be there - investigating that. And I think the front arch is being mounted lower then it should be & am not a fan of the mounts for the take-off wing.
If you see anything else that looks odd, please do comment as this is the only chance I have to catch anything that has gone off.
the camera is not in focus unfortunately |

| So I wasn't happy with the location - in terms of distance from top of fender - of the front wheel arch. I got them to move it upwards to where it should be per my expectation & this revealed: |

lowering is going to require a host of inner arch mods - but it should get to this:

| Whats the tyre clearance on the rear bumper like? I've been thinking that i'd have to cut mine to allow more space. On the above pic it looks tight but with just enough clearance. |

The problem you will have is at the Top of the Arch......Unless you remove some of the metal Panel as I said before.
Are you going to Fibreglass between the Arch and the Sideskirts/Bumpers...???I hope so.
Not a fan of your Rear spoiler, especially with the Duck Tail...sort of living up to the name and 'Spoiling' the Look.....but this is only my opinion as I personally 'HATE REAR SPOILERS'.
God it looks good though, cant wait to get mine finished over Xmas ready for Paint.

Yes, the arches should be extended to meet the bottom edge of the sill etc, they should taper in towards the car.
I'm not a fan of spoilers either, but the rear end of the cappo has always been too round and goofy for me. I can always remove it if it's too shouty I guess.
Thanks

I personally like spoilers on cappo's, the rear end is far to rounded and as you say goofy, thats why i bought the first cappo i saw in real life becuase it came with the optional rear lip.
I think with this car though your gonna need as much rear wing as you can, if you look at Waynes HyaCappo and the amount of work he's put in on the back end to make it stick. You'll have a very flighty rear end without it, i presume there's also going to be a rear diffuser? If anything atleast to stop the mass of air that traps up inside the rear bumper (it can act like a sail at high speeds). I've had mine pull off at over 90 before.
Also, what has been done to reinforce the take off kit, its very fragile! |

| I didn't know the take off kit needs reinforcing - thanks for the heads up, which bits are the weakest? Also how have you solved the rear bumper/sail issue? I assumed the vents above the trim at the bottom would let the air out, I also saw one of these on a 7tune featured Capp, he had cut the bottom trim off and replaced with an angled lower spoiler |

The whole take off kit is made of very flimsy fibreglass, the bolt and screw fixings can break quite easily as can the mesh catches. Sometimes one tug is enough to pull them off.
The weakest points though IMO is the nose / lip of the front spoiler, i've fixed an alu panel accross the bottom of the bumper riveted in place, i've put mine so the panel is the first thing the speeds bumps hit and since then the fibreglass hasn't been damaged. If you look in my repair thread in this section you can see what i've done and how i've then mounted diagonal bars down to reinforce the whole front end.
The side skirts can be fragile but your wheels are sticking out more so they will kerb before the skirts, plus yours are straight whereas mine flare at the rear.
The rear bumper, is pretty tough given that it is rounded more, but as i said if the arch fixings are weak as were mine then the bumper can start to flap and stress the upper fixings. To resolve this i cut out the fake diffuser rounded fibreglass in the middle section of the 3 bays and fibreglass'd a real'ish alu diffuser in place, this starts off from the rear subframe and fixed firmly to bumper, with a nut welded to the subframe and a bolt going though the alu panel fixing it firmly in place. I'll try to post a pic during the next week cause its so much harder to explain than see.
Also all parts were filled with builders expanding foam in all the nooks and crannies to give some lightweight riggidity and the skirts were filled and then cut to the profile of the sills to ensure a nice and snug fit. |

Thanks - very useful info.
Please post pics of yours when you can. My front bumper is NRF, side skirts SPL. The take off arches are being bonded to the take off rear bumper which means if it rips off I'll lose the arches too! I am not having the arches cut to meet the factory lines - although I might re-visit that later.
Phase 2 should see a real diffuser go on, but it will take 15 years to recover from phase 1!!
I am very anxious about the ride height, tyre clearance and so on, hopefully I will get what I want, but it is very difficult to describe. I think its called hellaflush, but I find the terminology confusing. |

| I've been thinking about bonding my take off arches to the car and bumper and having a cut in them at a similar angle to a shape on my front bumper to enable easy removal of the bumpers. Every job requires bumpers to be removed and its the only way i think i can get it to look as pro as possible. I think sneaza has similar ideas on his project. |
