that thing really does stick to the road. very impressed. have you ever thought of going for a 16v head from the DET.
Man, you have some serious skills there dude
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
I have to agree with exctr the shape doesnt do it for me ! but awesome work and great job looks the part now
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
Very cool
Love it, great little project, good luck with it

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 )
sorry 100mm
priced another set up for a set of wets...
think the wets will have to go on steelies
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.
I think most of the serious people of SXOC will like this thread
Top work and really liking the current look of the car
Good luck with the class change!
Nice to see something different, quality write up and quality work
OMG this is great. well done mate fantastic car !!!!!
cheers Guys
id planned to take it to the Prescott weekender (hillclimber to Prescott?! coals to Newcastle) but the car wasnt really finished and with the slicks i couldnt have run even if i had it MOTd real shame, wouldve been fun. if Prescott happens again, will have to nick some trade plates
Nice thread and cracking car. I take it the wheels are Image split rims? If i ever win the lottery i'll buy myself a set.
You skilled bastard. I'm not jealous, at all. Oh no.
yep Image billets
and Pyro no, just a case of not being able to afford to pay people to do the work, so have to teach myself
big to TomM off the forum for the decals, will post pics once they are all on. made a cracking job and decent guy to boot
