Looks awesome. I can't quite tell from the in car video, but if you haven't fitted any roll cage padding in the areas where your head / body could reach in an impact (and it is truly amazing how far your body and harness will stretch if you are unfortunate enough to have a big one), I'd fit some asap.

Great Build Mate.

[Brandtner]

Great build! Keep up the great work!

[shimmy]

Did you take any pictures?

No but wish had. as ONEill said at the time, bodykit was a bit naff and build quality was a bit suspect for Geoff Steele

He reckoned 485bhp and it looked like it was 1200kg

really good build, a lot of time effort and money and it looks like it paid off


The seats in the videos seem to have a bit of movement?

I think my harness would be a tad tighter than you seem to have yours

[Barry C]

[Loaded]

Great build.! I like the progress each time. Keep like that.

Best

It probably isn't ideal to run 4 degrees, but to clear the arches with the current wheel setup I do have to, plus it's the original camber numbers Schirmer put on the car, and the turn in was awesome.

But however you look at it, it does work pretty well for my limited skills and budget! And hey, still lots of development to do!

Absolutely badass :drool: , and absolutely hideous at the same time. :notworthy:

Silly as it sounds, I'd like to keep it looking like a road car that goes well on the track, rather than a racing car that will never race.

'Tis amazing though - bet it runs well.

A bit OTT for my liking, but each to their own I suppose.
Now I'm thinking something more along the lines of the ill fated GTR "a street car for the track" civilised yet purposeful?:thumbs:
Variation on a theme?
