nice! although i'm not too fond of the standard mini fuel tank in the front! only thing i don't like is the arches look too box like, would look better smoothed or with slopes

To be honest you'll be best insuring pretty much as a kit car and most of those companies already mentioned will be expensive! (I tried most of them when insuring mine)

Try Sureterm direct. 08702 020230 They were very good with me! :)

I agree entirely Steve, I wouldn't like to have a front end shunt with the tank in the front! Any ideas on repositioning the tank would be welcome. Would a racing fuel cell be OK in the front?

PS. I have got insurance from Competition Car Insurance in Nottingham, £230 third party, so not too bad.

15% for telling them your a TMF member, and probably telling them your username, if they ask for it?

I think it's to do with the fact it looks like it's a standard mini fuel tank, not one thats made to fit the space. so it'll hardly be at the optimum angles etc etc

yep thats what i meant! i don't have a problem with fuel tanks in the front, but using a standard mini tank, looks like they ran out of money when it came to finishing! get a fuel cell in there!

Looking out for one now. Going to get the car rolling roaded a week on Friday, so I will report back what sort of power is being developed, hoping for 100+.
