My Name is Ben,

I live in Dunoon Scotland, and I have just asked Chris to make me a Sprint grp Body and get it ready to fit
a hayabusa that will be fitted with a all out Turbo, the grp shell gell coat will be lime green all other panels will
be carbon,

cant wait to get my hands on, as always working away from home,
if any one is building one in Scotland drop me a line, if you need help doing your project.

Regards Ben

Hi Ben, Did you get the car all finished, collected, tried and tested ?
I've built one but not with zcars frame etc.. made my own spaceframe, used metal shell, busa turbo..
Took wheels brakes etc off my hot rod.. 13 x 10 etc
Built it to race in scottish saloons but apparently have banned spaceframed cars for 2011 so will probably have to sell it and build/buy something else.. ;-(

No my Engine is in the frame and still needs to be built, as been busy at work
I will have to wait till the weather breaks to go collect it as Chris says the weather
in Hull is bad.
just have to enjoy xmas first before going down to Hull when the weather is better.
hope you sort out another project.

Regards Ben.

Standard 209 Hayabusa, run it for a while to get used to it and fettle Suspension ect, then all out Turbo

it will be good to see yours and mine next to each other at some time in the futur.

I am going to be using a steel sheel, well only the very bare minimum of steel shell, I have already got the shell from Vtecmini2 (Cheers John if your reading this). My layout will be totally different to yours with mine being LHD for a starters. Once I start tog et my teeth into the design of it I'll post a diary in the Motorbike engined part of the forum as its not a Zcar frame.
