I took the opportunity to take the sonic for a spin today, I have to say, the cars suspension is not yet set up correctly, it's engine is still not quite right and needs to go back to the rolling road when it hits 500 miles ish, but.....
What a drive it is, to anyone thinking about building a sonic go on you will not be disappointed!
Never a ceases to put a smile on my face!

Well it had to happen sooner or later,
I decided to take the sonic to work the last 2 days evern though it is cold, it is worth taking advantage of the sun to run some shake down miles, the car still has not done 300 miles since regsitration.
Anyway about a mile and a half form the office I say steam from under the bonnet, and coolant all over my legs...
I managed to blow a hose off its joiner coming out of the radiator. I knew the system likely still had air in it but last night when I should have looked I chose not to ;-). It is amazing what you can find in the car when you have no tools to do up hose clips, I foundn and M8 washer did the trick amzingly to get me here...
Oh well, lunch time today making sure all air is out of the coolant system my thinks
STill got to say the car turns heads! everyone wants to get alongside and see it, I cannot wait to get its new exhaust fitted in May followed by the final remap even now though this car is fun.
I do have a question for everyone though, Is it just in Newcastle when other drivers try to come and see what the car is and what it looks like inside then they just sit in your Blindspot? It is a realy irritating when it happens and you have to have eyes in the back of your head at all times when driving for these people ;-).

Great build Andrew, Question- what is the exact size of the rear rotor on the sonic? I bought the wrong rotor for my sonic, I have the SVT rear calipers. See my section. Thanks Dr. Brian

After careful consideration (and 2 year old twins) it looks like it is time to sell My Sonic 7!
The car has only done 300 miles since sits Iva test and I cannot see that improving anytime soon.
