Looking good Simon, can't wait to see this when it's finished, some serious amount of engineering and development going on there chap!!

Good luck with it fella

Think your colour hair makes you more of a Petter than a Mcrea!

I think people spend far to much on bling bits of kit and assume they do a better job.. the tein are actually pretty good and the ksports work.

I have considered and have a set of AP4 pot setup which I am hoping will work as well but gain on the weight saving.

I like the Exetc suspension but they only do the track stuff now and this car will be used on the road and the road dirt and road use will kill the exetc stuff.

In an ideal world I would have a couple of sets of brakes, wheel, suspension and change for the application the car is going to do but this is more a bit of fun and enjoyment for me so if I lose a few seconds off a sprint lap so be it.. etc
should I get focused on doing something then I might change the setup to suit and go chasing something be it sprint or drag etc..

Going to be interesting to see the influence the extra weight at the front has on the handling... I am not colin mcrae and I may not even notice

You can still get the Exetc road kits - sort of. http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=345...

HAHA i was going to say pink! lol I think you should go for a normal black. make it look very sleeper. then you could really scare the Sh!t out of people on the track.

\might be worth having a look at some of the sweedish volvos.. They have started to put 500++ bhp supercharged LS engines in to them but they look totaly standard (esp. in brown) form the outside!

[JollyGrnMonster]

dont think anything about the car is going to be subtle

[JollyGrnMonster]

Minor update

Doors were pretty flat anyway very impressive for fibreglass ones (thanks darren @ abw) but flatter still now

Bumper

Bonnet and boot in primer etc

[chuntington101]

[JollyGrnMonster]

Not weighed them but a fair chunk

[p1doc]
