Thumbs up Hi again Piers

I have just been watching your video again.

That poor guy in the Lotus became totally confused.......

What is the bhp at the flywheel and then wheels on your car.

Time you became a professional racing driver, I feel.

You are awesome behind the wheel........

Thanks Paula.. My car is only putting out 185bhp or 150whp at the moment... But only weighing a tonne the power to weight is good..
There is a new Formula Libre class of racing starting this year and I plan to enter my car after a few mods are made to get it FAI approved...

Looks like a Red Top 25, and doesn't appear to cost much more than a regular battery!

Thumbs up Hi Piers

Awesome news.

I look forward to hearing about your progress once you are competing.

Take care

Paula

PS. The power to weight ratio on my Motobuild modified 1990 Rover Metro GTI is excellent too........A real pocket rocket

Ya, impressive. Some q's if u don't mind...where did you source the mirrors, is it a Red Top 25, how did u get those wheels on without mentioning spacers (my 16x8 FDs are awaiting 15mms but I'm worried about sticking out from the body), what's the best brake I can squeeze in once those wheels are on (the famous 3000GT conversion?) any other good weight mods without changing seats?

Maybe this should be an email thing.

Hope you'll indulge me! Got a bit of $$ in...

Got the mirrors off eBay, civic ones I think.. Yes its a Red Top 25 but no use if you have an alarm as they do not have a huge capacity... They are Mitsubishi Evo wheels I have on the car, no spacers required but running 3 degrees of camber up front and 1.5 on the rear helps them not rub the arches.. If you look at the site in my sig you will get details of the brake conversion etc...
