says 400kg is poss
thing is with the dax you have to specify which engine you want as you cantj ust change engine mounts its an integral part of the chassis so couldnt change engines at a later date, but i guess pinto an cossie would be similar anyhow
ohhh i dunno

Is the guy taking you out called Steve from Rayleigh, Essex?
Here's an engine option for you.... go for the bike engine and then pop down and see me with £1500 and i'll turbocharge it for you.
If you went for either a ZZR1100 (£600) or a R1 (£1000) i can get you close to 250 bhp.
Mate that with 400 kg and you have a power to weight ratio of 625 bhp / ton. Consider this... an F40 has a power to weight ratio of 455 bhp / ton!

at work during the day i went out and got couple of us some bacon rolls from this dodgy cafe in chingford
anyhow on the way down there in chloes car i had real bad gut ache and kept dropping them, much to the pleasure of will bel sitting in the back
anyhow soon as we got to the door of chicagos i headed straight to the bog to take a sheet but encountered james who held me up
propa had the shits, then when i was dacing away the night i dropped one and shit me pants
anyhow spoke to phil (the guy at work who also had bacon roll) and he had bad guts and the shits at the same time
Bacon Rolls it was then

He has raced rushes for years and is currently using that blue one until he finishes his latest creation. He sure knows how to pedal a rush, I think if you ‘youtube’ or ‘streetfire’ him you will find some clips of him in action. The blue rush is what he competed in TOTB and time attack last year.
The blue one is about 410 on full boost and weighs 520 Kg (do the power to weight on that
). I went around Oulton with him and it was seriously impressive, when he took me out on public roads around Harlow its certifiably insane Gary is the ‘normal’ test driver who will seriously scare the shit out of most people (unless requested otherwise), not sure who took you out …
I think it’s good that you are looking around at other makes. Personally I went for the rush as it has some fancy features (but they cost you
) and (in my opinion) it looks the best with the flared ally sides and wide rear end. Mine will look similar to the striped out blue one you saw but with the wider rear arches with 255’s stuffed under them

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVNDGx8NNP4 that's what happens when you stick a v8 and a decent driver in a caterham. Looks fun but fuck me would that thing kill you quickly on the road if you made a mistake
