This build never ceases to amaze me, I would be ridiculously jealous and hate you a little bit inside but after meeting you at Slarks last year and found out you're genuinely a nice bloke just want to say cant wait to see the finished car in the metal..... well....carbon fibre :lol:

Top job mate.

Just been through this with a bib and box of tissues :lol: Must say it's one of the finest mini builds I've ever seen. Definately worthy of a full feature in MiniWorld. Keep up the good work, hope to see more progress soon.

Hi there Craig and Thanks...
Yeah my car should be going to see Neil Slark at some point this year. Don't think i'd trust anybody
else to tune it to be honest. Lets just hope its finished this year!

Hows your car running?

My cars running really well at the moment thanks, did 550 miles at the weekend without trouble. Going to adjust the cam timing and raise the compression ratio a bit more though soon, Neil said last year to take it to 11:1 and like you say I trust his word. I'll be going back in April I hope.

This year, next year, whenever....good things come to those who wait!

Wicked Project man! Have you weighed the whole car to see what it weighs now? Did you have a goal weight when you started or just like the look of carbon fibre?

Definitely, Thats a nice high compression craig you mustve built a good engine there...
nice one...

Will be getting it weighed as soon as i get it on the road...So no clue yet...
lots of heavy stuff is gone so looking good so far...
would love it to be under 550 kg but that might be a bit ambitious

There are rebuilds, and rebuilds, but this is in a different league! I've REALLY enjoyed reading this one mate.
