hello mate
the seats are about £400 each depending on which material thare made out of.mine are fiberglass/carbon fiber mix and are the cheapest the top of the range carbon/kevlar ones are about £750 each.
cheers rob

[Rob]

That is an awesome bug !

I can't believe all the bodywork you did, that is truly amazing !
Nice wheels too, what are they and what's the size ?

What type of shifter do you have in there ?
Did you put in those boxed sections besides the transmission 'hole' ?

The car looks awesome, although those seat mounts don't look
too sturdy :eek:

How expensive was that cage by the way ? I checked their website and it looks they only have one for the Super....

Rob.

some more updates hear.
cheers rob

[judgie]

did my first sprint a couple of weeks ago,car was pretty good but the handerling was a bit odd.feels great on the road but get it on a track and it all feels a bit soggy.still on the approx 1 mile track was 2 tenths slower than a boxter s so quite happy.should be quicker next time as have set suspension up better and have a set of slicks to go on.
also raced at santa pod 2 weeks ago [rwyb]ran a 14.34@90mph with 1.92 second 60 foot.loads of wheelspin and crossing the lline in 3rd gear.
new gearbox ordered with close 3rd and 4th so should be quicker still.
cheers rob

[zen]

great to here. keep us updated as you get it out there more. what are you going to play with on the suspension to true it up?

[judgie]

suspesion wise i am going to set it at 2degreas negativa camber front and rear,droped 1 spline at the rear on 944 bars,front is set to ride just a bit higher than the rear to keep front end loaded for turn in,teo in front and rear only about 25/35 minutes as much negative castor as i can get and of corse the slicks all round 200/605/16 on 7x16 928 rims.
been out for a quick drive with slicks today with the suspension mods and it seems to have cured all my handerling problems :D
just got to paint 2 rear wings and o/s front wing,move rear wing down to comply with regulations,build front spoiler and splitter then i'm ready for the next meet.
pic of the car before new wheels and suspesion mods
