Roll bars look like they are really needed when tracking. Would mix very well with the rose joint suspension IMO and the body work is superb
While it may look like it needs roll bars from the photo, it actually can aid turn in and handling without them 
Also, that angle of photo is going to always make the car look like it's leaning a lot. If you took exactly the same, but of say a GT3RS it would be leaning a lot lot lot more!356Speedster said:

Roll bars anyone?!
I was thinking the same, LOL!!Lucky.... I really like the bodywork mods, do you know if these are going to be commercially available via Steve? I'd be seriously tempted myself....
Well Steve sold the bodywork mods to Wayne....does that make them commercially available?
I know Titan used to supply steering racks to Ultima, and possibly still do, so being a Titan rack is not an indication that it is a special.
I suspect any bodywork mods are available to anyone but you would probably have to pay for the mould to be designed/built. If any mod was made without ownership passing to the car owner then the designer/fabricator is free to sell more of them.

Which day are you there Jonny?
We are there on Tuesday morning, assuming the car gets fully repaired this weekend, which, total disasters aside, it should be. And it needs to be - we have round 3 at Snetterton next Saturday!We wanted a full day but apparently the Caterham boys are there doing some endurance testing.
Are you based locally?

I have a day off on Tuesday, but it's a long old drive. Good luck with it - Say hello to the apex at Bunga Bunga........if you find it!!

A lot of the tasty high spec race parts that went into this car were bought by Wayne from myself from an advert I placed here on PH many moons ago whilst I was in the middle of an awkward period with the now wife... still gutted about selling all that stuff to this day.I suspect any bodywork mods are available to anyone but you would probably have to pay for the mould to be designed/built.

I was only asking about the rack as the 1.5 turn titan rack that I had made which went with the project - I was warned may make the car too twitchy for road use by some.. just curious how it worked out - the factory at the time were using 2.5 turn titan racks for better road drivability but I wasnt all that bothered as I more or less wanted a full GT car and tend to be very single minded no matter what compromises need to be made.

Hmmmm 
Lets see on Sunday. It has Titan on the rack and it's great at correcting OS with a dab of oppo, so perhaps yes. I'll check.

I suspect that is a custom rack as the factory rack has 'Ultima' cast into it with no indication as to who manufactures it although I believe Titan are the manufacturer. Lets see on Sunday. It has Titan on the rack and it's great at correcting OS with a dab of oppo, so perhaps yes. I'll check.Pete

Pete, looking forward to seeing the car on Sunday!
The more i read and learn about the car the more i realise just how track focused the car is!
Could you drive this to Spa do a td and then drive home? without shaking your fillings out ;] Rose jointed etc
Really mate, the susp was actually quite nice from the few laps I did in it. Quality shocks and RJ wishbones are just fine.The more i read and learn about the car the more i realise just how track focused the car is!

But I agree - this is a track focused car.
