ShimmyRacing race car build progress

[Mark CSL]

Shimmy keep us updated Please :thumbs:

Are they all running new engines shim?

Looks like great fun

Keep the pics coming

Rather than use the 20 yr old Eunos lumps as they turn up we have decided to make all the cars full front running race spec (even if the drivers are not)

The engines have gone off to Chase in Congleton and we have done as much to them under the regs as we can. This is limited but also helps with reliability during the year.

Hopefully we have gained with some RR tuning about 15bhp on a 115bhp engine.

Looks cool. What's the rough cost to convert a road-spec MX5 into your race spec ?

Which hair salon is sponsoring the series?

In all fairness though, it is a very competitive series - you need some good race craft to win, best of luck shimster. If the Golf GTi championship is ever sharing a meeting with the mincing Mazdas in 2011, come and say hello - we'll be near some manly looking golfs........
