New oholins shocks

The old foucs de stickerd for charie

This thing is gong to be mental

Is it going to be a new engine and running gear aswell.

carlo · 23-11-2007, 10:44 PM

Same engine not the same running gear everything else is going to be new charlie has bought andys old focus minus engine & box so andy is starting all over again

Charlie Chalk · 23-11-2007, 10:49 PM

T28 RST · 23-11-2007, 10:50 PM

Awesome

carlo · 23-11-2007, 10:52 PM

Doors bonnet boot & roof skin will also be carbon

carlo · 23-11-2007, 10:53 PM

Ooops

double post

Cliff S1 · 23-11-2007, 10:56 PM

Carbon obsession anyone

The old one was mental let alone what this one will be like

SillyFezzaMk1 · 23-11-2007, 11:05 PM

Raising the bar! cannot wait to see what this is like once completed. Didnt he only take 2 months for 1st car?? if so is he planning on blitzing this build too?

Dan

carlo · 23-11-2007, 11:09 PM

It will prob take a bit longer than the old car pics will e put up every time something is done

stoo2000 · 23-11-2007, 11:30 PM

I really do hope he's painting the non-carbon parts black and leaving the carbon unpainted

eitherway it's gonna be ficking quick

kevmk2 · 23-11-2007, 11:46 PM

Looks nice,i wonder if he will have any mk2 escorts with aspirated cossies keeping up with this one like at brands last week

James-W · 24-11-2007, 01:24 AM

That is gona be soooooo rapid
All the best andy, its gonna be awesome!

i second that, surely he wont paint the carbon bits???

KSA-Cossie · 24-11-2007, 07:05 AM

That'll be expensive if he crashed it

Fookin awesome though.

- Sim - · 24-11-2007, 07:14 AM

MILLION DOLLAR BABY

but how much weight can it safe?
100 kgs will be very very much..... in my eyes

Perhaps there can be a weight comparison done, i.e.

hood old 14 kgs - carbon hood. 6 kgs
fender old 2 kgs - carbon fender 0,2 kgs

Lookin really forward to all the updates!!!!

Daveysaff · 24-11-2007, 07:19 AM

Gona be another mental car

Feel free to put lashings of carbon on our shell while you're there!

carlo · 24-11-2007, 07:40 AM

kevmk2 he had boost issues at brands but still managed the quickest lap time

- Sim -
The weight comparrison on the rear spoiler alone is amazing
Plus holding one of the quarter panels you barley know its in your
hand so when you add all the panels inc roof skin & doors tailgate
bonnet plus all metal work is going to be fabricated pipe ect.
Shold be a good bit lighter with near 700 bhp

Ruudsengen · 24-11-2007, 07:45 AM

Insane.

f6cus · 24-11-2007, 08:22 AM

looking good carnt wait to see this finished

McGoo 69 · 24-11-2007, 08:31 AM

jesus crist! bet that kit cost a bomb!! gonna be sweeett!!

allsteel · 24-11-2007, 08:43 AM

Yes, i sure would love to see the bill for that lot.Awesome job though boys.Good to see people with Fords really wanting to raise the bar.

MikeR · 24-11-2007, 08:58 AM

So i guess he has no plans to do Time Attack then ?? or is there a new class coming out ??

Mike

carlo · 24-11-2007, 09:35 AM

Dont think he is botherd about time attack with the northern saloons & all the ford days he has got enough to do.But im sure if the rules change & they allow it he will be at knockhill

Thats interesting as i personally would have thought that Time Attack would be a real test for the car and driver, of which i am sure he would do well in, and l am sure that the other championships are a good test, but Time Attack seems to get alot of publicity and coverage

rapidcossie · 24-11-2007, 11:52 AM

The current car is soooo fast, it kinda makes it hard to imagine how quick this one will be

What kind of weight saving you expecting andy? 200kgs? more?

Will be CRAZY

Paul Ripley · 24-11-2007, 11:57 AM

Keeping my eye on this one, gonna be mental

Homer. · 24-11-2007, 12:40 PM

the old car was mental fuck knows what this is,

how much wider are the front wings? Is it going to be a full space framed chassis then?

dave cos4x4 · 24-11-2007, 12:45 PM

awesome panels.

Are you going to be racing this Andrew as i thought you could not,why upgrade if you are not racing.

keep the pics coming Carlo.

NUTS RuS · 24-11-2007, 01:36 PM

Good Luck with it all

carlo · 24-11-2007, 01:58 PM

Its going to be complete space frame the full car built around the panels all home made.
& Dave it will be in the northern saloons next year & all the ford track days

Time attack & the mill street motors saloon cars didnt want these cars as they had modified chassis..

MikeR · 24-11-2007, 02:14 PM

Carlo may l ask why he does not want to build a car to compete in Time Attack,

Mike

carlo · 24-11-2007, 02:31 PM

Not sure mate i would need to ask him or he will read this & reply im sure they pissed him off last year saying his car could compete then phoning him a few nights before saying he wasnt allowed but not sure if thats why he isnt building a car for it.

Twins · 24-11-2007, 02:58 PM

Wow that will be amazing
