Really impressed with trimming on the doors.

Very Nice!!!!

[Fat Albert]

Saw the pics on your Facebook page and thought that the interior was very simple, but really nicely done

WOW!! Not very kit car looking but definitely top notch work there. Looks like the Factory can do a fantastic job for demanding customers. I wonder how much that costs...

[Stig]

This is why money spent with a trimmer is money well spent!

Good job

[TangoGTR]

Would love to know how much a job like this costs.
Have another 6 photos of interior here if anyone is interested :- http://www.Facebook.com/Ultima.GTR.build

I think the client arranged the trimming themselves. The factory guys were impressed with finish, that's for sure.

i wonder what it would cost for the factory to produce interior kits like that anyway.??

If they produced them in bulk, it would be a good option and also improve the interior no end.

It would improve the looks no end and be an upgrade from the back garden look

Really superbly done. I do wonder how long before all that glue starts coming unstuck with the high (in the interior at least) summer temperatures.

Very nice indeed!! But a little too much confortable for an Ultima, IMO. It is not a Mercedes..its a GTR!

Coming from an Ariel Atom I've experienced as raw a car as I think you can go, especially over winter. A GTR has a windscreen , roof , heaters..... Geeez it's a limo .... Might as well go the whole hog then .

Now where's that massaging seat option .....

[HairbearTE]

That's a really nice job there, would love to know who trimmed it.

I'm really not sure I get this kind of opinion. Aside from the (little) extra weight and the added cost which if you don't want then fair enough, otherwise why not?

Because, race car!

No but seriously I honestly don't understand it, if it were purely for track duty then sure! It's fairly pointless but if it's mainly for road use and you can afford it why not? Doesn't make sense to me.

I really like the standard aluminum. It makes the most of the sound available from the motor and transaxle and wind and gravel and....

I well understand who want a more confortable and less rude GTR, anyone can have it tailored! BUT I personaly like sports car without (too much) compromises and i think the GTR is one of the few 100% pure and male sports car remained, than my idea about the GTR simpy don't match with this interior. If i wanted a confortable car I whould went for a 997tt or something similar?!

My own opinion is that the car should be kept as light as possible coupled with the most useable power you can achieve/afford.

Part of the enjoyment of these cars is that they are not like a production car, the fact that they are noisy and raw make it more of a 'event' to drive.

I can never understand why owners put in expensive sound systems that add weight and you cannot hear it unless the engine is idling. Why would you want to listen to music when you have such a wonderful sound coming from the engine?

If it has reasonable silencers this is probably the only Ultima that you have any chance of hearing the radio in.

Looking at the responses I see most of us here would prefer a pure performance tool and thats part of the Project I recently started developing somethiong even more extreme than the Ultima which gave me the idea.
The basics is that anything that will make it go fast should be sincronised together to get something better and that means sequential transmission XTRAC in this case, V10 Engine 9250 RPM 700 ish ponies, pushrod suspension because of ease in tunabilety and you can use a short(Thus lighter) stabalizer that is adjustable from behind the steering wheel.
The best shocks Dynamic DSSV system, Carbon brakes and ultra light 6 pot calipers still looking for Carbon Wheels. Motorsport Uprights with big Bearings inside with centrelock wheels and titanium nuts.

thats all I can say for now.

But Looking at the interior it makes one doubt if an consession is in place its a very nice looking thing and I think we also have to look at what purpose do we build the car for and if you occasionally want to drive on the track and most at times you will be cruising the boulevard in Monaco or so than that interiour is the way to go.
I will keep my interiour as light as possible therefor might dress it in suede light but a nice finish 2nd option all carbon inside light and also a beautiful finish not sure yet
