Enjoy the ride

I think that's about it......
I'll post some pics soon

Hi, just been reading this. Fantastic car and driving. 

 

Have you got any pictures of your fuel tank please? Son and I just about to commence build on an asphalt rally car for single venue rallies and will be running 13" wheels and struggling to see how we will fit a tank and a wheel in the boot, especially as it has a flat boot floor and box turrets for coilovers. So putting tank where rear seat was sounds good!

Apologies for the delay in replying.... haven't been here for a while.

The tank is a bespoke design by my friend Lloyd Hutchinson. I will try to find some pics and post them here asap.

Hi, Just seen your reply! I had some issues with my account on here. Thanks for the information and link to the great pictures. Think they will certainly help us. 

 

Another question though! What rate springs do you have on the back please?

 

Thanks again.

Hi there, I need to check the spring rates... be back to you..
Some footage from last weekend.. https://youtu.be/K3Rre13g6OQ ... another class win

[DEPS]

Hi, My son had already found your footage and sent me the link and I watched it earlier tonight. Very impressive. The car seems very stable and not bouncing about all over the place (Minis can be a bit lively on bumpy surfaces!!)! It also pulls really well out of the corners, obviously got great torque. Oh and the crew seem ok too  . Great result!

 

Thanks for the information you are providing. Once we start work on our shell I will try and start a thread on here.

Hope that helps? K
