Default Another one going for 200mph!(full fia/msa spec caged racecar)

Been thinking about this for the last couple of months and ive decided to go for it!!

Im sure a few of you remember a while back that a thread was posted about how much it actually costs to do 200mph at brunters.

The thread went a big barmy when you had all the little groups throwing there dummy out and a few extras pitching in for the fun, at the time i didnt really pay that much attention to it, just sort of skimmed to top of it.

Anyway while reading the one thing i picked up on was our friendly neighbourhood magazine reporter from redline, mr stav/steve. He claimed that you could go 200mph for £10k, of course everyone claimed that was rubbish but he stuck by his guns and made a few examples that made sense to me.

Yes you could build a multipurpose car that will happen to do 200mph with all the shiny alloy bits on and spend a fortune, but if you had one goal in mind and nothing else i believed it was possible.

Now i wont really turn this into a build thread as such as it will be probably be moved and id like to keep it here for everyone to see as i think this section brings in the most experience and knowledge on the subject.

So a quick run down, the plan is to buy a car, tune it and make it run 200mph at brunters for £10k.

Already spent a long time chatting to MadRod about this and hes give me lots of useful information and seems to back me up on this.

Spoke to Stav and hes gonna do a full magazine coverage and pay for the day etc so its a definete goer!

So what do you all think, anyone interested in my ideas, designs etc?
