almost everthiny you can see on the front subframe is made from TI,
the disks are lightened standard metro items turned down to 7.5", i will replace these shortly with alloy bells . [short of time recently]
hubs, drive flanges, top and bott arms, and the frame, the cemtrelocks are steel with alluminium alloy nuts,
rear arms are fabricated alluminium alloy , the hubs are made from 7075 t6 with some 6.75" disks i cut from stainless , small motorcycle calipers .Titanium stubb axles. centrelocks as the front.


the front frame is considderably stiffer than the standard item, and 1/3 the weight.and will never corrode.

the car came in at 560 kgs with two big batteries s at in the pass footwell for the dyno session, i suspect that minus the big batteries and plus some other bits missed off for the weigh in, it should tip at 550.

it is, been to the drag strip this wweekend, really struggled for traction but one my driver got it rolling it flew,
13.3 at well over 110 mph. all this whist fighting with rear toe out,[ an oversight in setup]and some really scarey moments,
