I hope to get the car on a track or two this year, but it wont be going rallying - I aint risking that! But if all goes well this year, then later in the year or next year I will try to do some sprints or hill climbs in it...

For now the only video of the car being driven is this one made by PPC for the magazine..

PPC video

You have got to get some more on board (and outboard) video footage for this thing. It's phenomenal

So its back on the road, minus the oil cooler & I got a quick video. have some issues with the video, so this is all I managed. Also I had to stop playing as the oil got a bit hot....

Sooooo much want

[viggyp]

Holy phuck knuts. That's quick. Who needs 1st gear other than on a steep incline.

Christ, u can see how much it moves around under load, short wheelbase at work there.

Reminds me of the Mk1.6...x100!

Wild is the best word I think.

If you wanted one built for you to this spec it wouldnt be cheap..... I doubt there would be much change out of 100K

It does move quite a bit, with it being short, the rear wants to overtake the front.... In the start of the video, the wheels are spinning which dosent help, but it dosent stop squirming even when they grip...
It does remind me that i must get the suspension set up once the mapping is sorted.

You could always build one yourself - its much more satisfying!

Yes but one small problem......I am a complete ham fisted spaz, it would be a bloody death trap.

My good days, that is a knee trembling car.

No words.

[poprock]

Absolutely bloody glorious. This is the sort of car that Pistonheads is all about. Top work, Sir.

I've just realised you got to into 5th on that video!

That's a lot of speed in not a lot of time.

Oosht.

The 4-5th change is around 130 & that was probably a lift at 145........

[OlberJ]

Clearly that's a fake though as you wouldn't do that on the highway!
