Hello :)
Thought id come on and say hi, i bought a MK GT1 that used to be Andy North's i believe?
Is a beauty of a car and great fun to drive, a few things that need doing to it and its already been stripped apart for inspection and changes 
I have a sizable list of things to do but other than that its been given a good bill of health overall
I had it only a week and i got a phone call from a friend saying that they want it to be filmed as an extra car in the new Fast and Furious film so
look out for it in that next year :p in its current guise of white bodywork.
That is going to change over the next couple of months.
Future and completed intentions are:
add quick release bodywork bolts - in progress
add full multipoint fire extinguisher system
design a proper roll cage - the one on it atm will not really do anything in the event of an accident :S
tighten up and replace worn gear linkage - DONE
modify airbox to work off F1 stye ram intake not stock locations - DONE
free up rear coilovers - DONE
oil change and service - DONE
rub down and repair bodywork then repaint
look in to forced induction options - if my friend wont sell me his RPE 1500cc hayabusa lump
put larger rear sprocket on - DONE
geo set up
incorporate better airflow into the bodywork (turn rads slightly, design heat extraction from rear clam etc)
speak to friends carbon fibre company about getting some carbon clams made (i have the moulds)
The majority are plans in progress or will be very soon anyway, some car wait (like carbon clams etc).
Couple of pics:
Excuse some of the pics i stole off the web before buying i realised i havent taken that many of it!
A pic of the car at FF6 filming:
Hopefully will be good to meet as many of you as possible and fingers crossed see you at track days next year!

Not much tbh!
Was just used as one of 4 side line cars to which Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodrigues drag race between, doubt it will be seen much  not for the
length of time it was used for filming anyway ha.
Got a great response from everyone there though considering the array of cars there which was good.

Hello and welcome, seeing your car has reminded me that i spoke to the previous owner about his airbox and changing it to become forced induction, ie
pressurised airbox and not Turbo. I have also sent you a U2U.
If it can't be fixed with a hammer then its probably an electrical problem.
