    previous class wouldnt allow changing the head, but new class does so once everything else is optimised then will look at new engine build possibly

    current shape is purely function but does look menacing on track
    im just waiting for the first wet event to see how much water is scooped up and thrown out of V mount bonnet vent. could be entertaining at high speed

    talking of the look, i had to paint the wing endplates satin black as the car looked enormously long with body colour endplates

    Looking superb

    Really good to see the way you've developed the car with well thought through mods that are actually there for a specific purpose.

    Good luck with the ongoing development

    Oh, and I think it looks cool (the wheels do it for me )

    Excellent work mate, it looks fantastic!

    Have you got any figures for it? I was just wondering if you had it weighed yet? Must be fairly light!

    its 282hp/266lb/ft at 15psi boost and was approx 820kg but new tyre/wheel combo is lighter (the tyres weigh approx half what a trackday tyre weighs ) and the bodyworks lighter, but the aero bits, splitter rear spoiler and front nose armature are all extra. will try and get it to the weighbridge soon, but im guessing 800kg.
