5400M Build

Some progress.

New chassis with additional engine bay width to accommodate an exhaust system and allow proper maintenance - care of SD Autotech.

Body needed to be opened out down the tunnel to allow it to be dropped back over the chassis. Professionally done by Surface and Design.

Should be on the road later this year after Trim Unique have worked their magic.

Space saver spare?

Best regards,
Bernard.

No spare at all Bernard, having driven T cars for the last 12 years with only a sealant for repairs, I guess I don't even think about a spare now.

Come to think, I've never carried a spare for the motor bikes I've ridden over the years either..

Hopefully that's not me speaking too soon.........

First 700 mile complete with surprising little to rework. Very Happy.

That looks stunning.. Bet it goes well!

Thanks Jhonno, I am sure it will nip along nicely when finally run in and ignition timing advanced a little.

lovely and 400hp on tap...MMM
how does it drive and feel, or still driving in the engine?

Still running in with ignition retarded 4 of 5 degrees Rene but it's going to be a very quick car. Its comfortable, stops well and suspension seems fairly complaint. Smells nice too

sounds great so far, its very important that such car feels safe/planted and does/reacts what you want it to do.

after running the car in and all is well, it would be nice to see and hear some footage/video of it :-)

Happy to oblige, but it will be next year now with holidays work commitments and the winter weather

Thanks Richard.

Bernard, MrsS has the keys to use the M as she wishes, not sure she’s too keen until it’s properly shaken down
