I would use double-sided foam tape. 3M makes a wide range of sizes and thicknesses. Alternatively, Wurth MS3 windscreen sealant will do what you want. Put it in between the joint and put painter's masking tape across the front to hold the two pieces together. 3M 401+ painter's tape is excellent.
Are there two flat surfaces mating there, or is it more like just the edge of the carbon fibre touching the panel? If it's not sitting flat, then no adhesive will work. You would need an angle bracket behind it, bonded to the splitter.

Quite reminiscent of Johnny Smith's V6 Allegro project. Looks cool.

Lemons looks like great fun and I've always wanted to do it! It's definitely not a cheap day out though. I really admire the teams who show the dedication to put all that money and work on the line for a good laugh!
Lemons USA costs in US$: Car budget $500 (but I think a lot of people spend more) Entry fee $1380 Lemons Licenses $300 ($75 per driver) Safety gear - Proper roll cage, race seat, harnesses, helmets, neck restraints, fireproof suit, etc. - $3000+?
Lemons Australia costs in AU$: Car budget $1000 Entry fee $2500 to $3500 depending on track AASA Licenses $720 ($180 per driver) Safety gear - Proper roll cage, race seat, harnesses, helmets, neck restraints, fireproof suit, etc. - $5000+?

I'm here for about two weeks. It's been a great trip thus far. The Gathering really impressed me with the wide variety of cars which were represented, just like they are here on the forum of course.
I plan to head down to Bovington for the Tank Museum as well, to take in some more British Engineering.

Hi All, I just wanted to say hello and mention that I will be attending the Gathering tomorrow for the first time. This is a big deal for me as I have come over from Australia and feel very lucky to fit this into my trip.
I joined the forum many years ago and have been very strongly influenced by many of the builds and great advice that I've read here. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been active on the forum for a couple of years, but I am very much looking forward to seeing some of the best cars and best crowd in the UK Retro scene tomorrow.
If anyone meets a very excited bloke called Mark in a brown leather hat, that will be me. Cheers!

The really cheap no-brand tyres are definitely not worth buying. I've tried a few brands, and they have such poor grip that they're almost dangerous.
I normally look for a magazine test in my tyre size which has done proper back-to-back tyre testing. The last few sets which I've bought were Michelin Pilot Sport 2, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and Yokohama AD08R. I would absolutely recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport series to anyone. I got over 40,000km out of my Pilot Sport 2s on a WRX STI and they were a pleasure to drive on. I think they're great value, considering how long they last. The Yokohamas have excellent grip as I would expect, but I can't comment on the wear yet, as I haven't had them for long enough. They were very good on a track day in both wet and dry.

Abranet is amazing. On plastic parts, it's excellent for removing material without "fluffing up" the material and leaving fibres in the paint.

Oh no! The story of this car is an incredible journey. I wish you all the best with it! Hopefully you can resolve the locknut situation somehow, maybe an endoscope camera investigation is needed?

Very nice. Is there any reason for going with two four-post hoists? Are you storing cars underneath? For me personally, one hoist would always be plenty, and I would go for a two-post for working on things. I suppose the four post is nicer for anything which doesn't need the wheels off.
I'm not trying to change your mind, by the way. I'd be interested to hear the design considerations.

I would definitely love to do this. There are certain cars, in particular, which have fantastic overall design and which do not rely on their engine to provide driving excitement of any kind. The movie Gattaca is a good source for some futuristic EV conversions. The style of several cars chosen in the film are "futuristic looking" classics, which appear to be electric converted, although there is no specific explanation of the details. Citroen DS, of course: Studebaker Avanti, which has no grille and therefore "looks right" as an EV: I would also say that anything stylish and non-sporting would generally work well as an EV conversion. The bonus being that the electric motor can be made to give much better performance than the original drivetrain in a compact space. Also, anything without an obvious front grille. Porsche 356 (replicas) Porsche 914 Air-cooled VWs of all types Minis and other chrome-bumper small cars Bring it on!
