Guys it might handle like a whale and be the biggest POS to drive ever, i am very real about stuff like that, i also built the suspension it uses as well,hand made the shocker tubes and coilover suspension...



All very experimental stuff, to get this all handling right straight off the first attempt will be nothing short of a miracle so i doubt she will be ready for the TG test track just yet

Also my brakes... again very experimental, these are modified BMW 330D rotors (rusty i know) ,which are 325mm diam and porsche 996 four pot radial mount calipers.



At the rear i am using 323mm mazda RX8 front rotors with mk2 turbo calipers, the master cylinder is also a mk2 turbo 15/16th's bore one and also a bias valve fitted.

So plenty of stopping power there, but god only knows how well (or badly) this thing will actually drive!

The front and back bumpers are from the Styleauto kit, but the rear has had the centre fins chopped out on my car, i actually own the master moulds for these bumpers as well as the mould for the Thomas Designs engine lid of which there are only 15 worldwide.
