Finally pictures of our Twin v6 205 - Only on Piston heads
Discussion
She was going to be road legal but I changed my mind, the perfect track setting would not suit the road, with 600lb springs all round I would end up smashing the chassis with the pot holes of today. So the loom was taken out, as well as the head lights etc. the car has only seen the rolling road so far though has been driven on to the trailer, other than that she’s yet to get out of second gear.
All being well I should be able to book an afternoon session at Oulton Park in the next couple of weeks, other than using a car park I’m rather stuck being able to test her any other way.

Its been far to long since the last update so will just post the most recent pics
Managed to get it on the track for a shakedown.

Went really well, considering the car had done more than 50 mph for 10 years,
Only had over heating problems with the rear engine, due to the shift from pressure to suction in the rear cab that staled the radiators, high speed
Both engines are now full sequential both injection and ignition (cop) using a cam sensor.

Found the reason why it felt a bit flat on the track day, after remapping with the new Emerald k6 ecu upgrade,
Had to wrap the car after I took a huge piece of clear coat from the bodywork with and air line by accident, I had plenty of stress cracks in the cabin I need to sort anyhow.
The spoilers are just prototypes, they need to be molded from fiberglass after testing (next year)
If I'm allowed to post the facebook page...then you will find thousands of photo and loads of videos from the start (2005) to present

k!Thanks for the lovely replies...same as usual haha
Its just a car I built to have fun with...nothing serious.
The spoilers are just prototypes they cost me £80 to build the wrap was £46...very early development stage. they have been built so I can cut them down if need be but I'm wanting as much down force as possible with out huge pitch and for more stability. The under tray has not been made yet, I have far to many plans for the future, but as I am building everything from scratch with my own bare hands it take time, 10 years so far.
You would be so surprised how well she does drive..bit like going from a mk1 golf to a mk5, officiously heaver but much more posed and stable, however the gear linkages are holding her back, twice now I have bough the wrong cables, they are agriculture grade so far to heavy duty.
Next year:
Twin Rotrex c38 superchargers
PTFE fuel lines (in progress)
Vented bonnet (in progress)
Sort gear linkages
Better camera (sorted!!!)
