Who has the Q plate black and yellow libra here?
Discussion
Just been browsing the Team GTM site, and I saw this bright yellow Libra with spoiler and front splitter. I was also very surprised when I noticed the little PH smiley in the corner of the windscreen!

Yep, thats mine!
It was a vvC powered car,2 years old with 7k miles and i thought I got a bargain paying £8.750 for it when similar cars were going for 10k+. But it was very poorly finished and specced compared to most and I have spent nearly 3k getting it to that stage! I have fitted 305mm 4pot brakes (it had metro UNvented ones!!!), lightweight alloys, splitter, spoiler, Red Recaro's, full charcoal alcanara re-trim, new servo, master cylinder, Mp3 player, steering wheel,video camera system, lots of black detailing around windows, removed so much glue from things you wouldnt believe, fixed a few bodges (!), intake kit, .... the list goes on. I didn't really know what to look for when I viewed it and got what i paid for really. But I am glad you like it, makes the effort worthwhile!
It's having anti-rollbars fitted in august then I am putting a 50 bhp progressive wet nitrous kit on it to boost torque, kepping the 7,200 rev limit. Theoretically it should'nt blow up!

Yeh man, it looks awesome! I'm a big fan of GTM Libra's and Spyders. I was taken round Oulton Park a few months ago in a Spyder, and hopefully another PHer will let me have a ride in his Libra in a couple of weeks time
When you look at it, you must know its worth all the effort. It really does look amazing mate. I'd have a Libra now but I can't afford it - maybe in a years time though once insurance costs have gone down a bit hopefully!

Me likes the look of that splitter. Payday can't come quick enough I'm on a similar quest, although my car has been put together well. It already has a new steering wheel, horn & alarm. It's getting a simple radio, new radiator fan, new brakes (currently Metro Vented), front spoiler (it is far too jumpy at speed) and a new interior (paint the yellow dash black, retrim the seats and put the new style door cards in).
I love kit cars. Money pits, but oh so much fun!
oh, suppose I better add "fix the engine" and bolt the seats down properly
The passenger seat has come loose now, makes an awful racket to the extent I thought my gear linkage was falling off >> Edited by docevi1 on Tuesday 30th May 21:55

I have never had any bother about front number plates! I run my fury fireblade with NO numberplate for a year, and the Libra with none for a a couple of months. I am MOT'ing it in the morning as of to France friday so I have had a normal size sticky one made. The Fury only ever had a small front one and despite plod pulling me twice they never mentioned it. I dont think it is as obvious on a kit car, they stick out like a sore thumb on a "regular" car.
ferg said:hmm, mine feel quite squishy and whilst stop me nicely don't have much feel at all. Might be the pad, fluid or something I guess.
Just as a footnote to Lee's post regarding spec.... My own Libra is still fitted with it's original Metro brakes and since I don't track it, they are fine and the feel is great. My wife can stop it too and she's no Fatima Whitbread!! I stay away from tracks with it though.....
