2007, is your vehicle ready?

[Alex@POD]

Mine isn't... I haven't finished modifying the chassis yet... then get the engines running, modify the drivetrain, then design and fit the interior, body work all around, SVA... Anyone else worried they won't make it in the intended vehicle?

Not yet but should be by then - 270bhp 20vt mk2 golf might surprise a few folk on the way down

[tjdixon911]

Mines ready, unless I change it by then

[DucatiGary]

Mines been running fine since houx annex lets hope the low low-rider will make it for next year!

[Alex@POD]

Nice... Hey it is you I saw in the car park for Arnage corner! I remember thinking "is that DG's 911?" as I went past, then noone was there once I had parked...

[DucatiGary]

could have been!

went to arnage and muslane late on Saturday night.

then spent 2 hours trying to get back to our camp because the local plod decided to close roads that where open on the way to arnage and then open roads they had previously closed.

I bet they had a good laugh about that one back at the station over croissants

My new Westfield build will start Jan 2007.
Brand new V8, 5 litre engine. Should be ready for April 2007.

dub, you should post some 'in progress ' pics ...

Will probably take my trusty VR6 Golf along again, 3 LM trips so far without a hitch..unlike some far more ' exotic ' motors I've seen returning on tow trucks !

Thanks.
320bhp with 350lbs torque, should be interesting in a car that weighs 700kg's.
Have got to learn to heel & toe!

I'm aiming for 400bhp, loads of torque, 4 wheel drive... and 2000kgs.

Blimey, thats less ready than mine...

[Alex@POD]

Looks like I beat you both in unreadiness!




That's the state of the back at the moment... nothing to see at the front... i'm worried i might have to build a small project car to take down in June, this one might not get done in time...
