After a busy winter fitting the 24v engine and sorting/lowering the rear suspension the car is ready, on track at donnington on the 1st july, then at croft sept 1st/2nd,
but before that i'm testing the car next week at my local kart track.













spec is
granada cossie 24v engine
magnex ss exhaust
argos air filter!! lol
electric fan conversion from a p100
stripped out interior
safety devices rollcage
cossie 4x4 steering wheel
saph cos front seats
luke 4 point harnesses
rear strut brace
cossie 4x4 front brakes
koni's all round with lowered springs (2wd on rear)
granada 24v rear anti roll bar
front anti roll bar poly pushed
mondeo 16" wheels with michelin slicks (dry)
fox 17" wheels with pirelli road tyres (wets)

the car has been built on a very tight budget I have tried to make it as quick round a track as I can within the budget which I believe I have achieved.
basicly I'm not sure what else I can do to make it faster for little money

steve

 

glad its all finished Steve.

see you on track soon.

 

cheers dave,

steve

 

thats gonna be fun

 

Looking good Steve perhaps needs some stripes though

 

nice ....where could i get a big passionford sunstripe like that from mate

 

Looks mint mate

 

I think I may have done it ??

Looking shite Steve, I'll not beat around the bush like these lot

 

fit a drivers bucket seat IMO, harnesses dont do half as good as job as a seat will.

you drive a lot better when your not using any muscles to try and keep you in place

 

new seats are on my wants list!!

just need to find a very wide one



steve

 

IMHO people think "ooh im fat", get a wide one, and then they not held in enough.

Your not meant to be comfy or hardly be able to fit in it, but one like that sure as shit holds you good

Fudgey has some wide ones in the sierra drift shitter, and man alive they TOTALLY useless. if you got any side to side movement at all, even a bit, they not really working.

I vote to suffer a harsh normal seat mate
