Default My 3 Door at Prescott Speed Hillclimb
Had these send to me otherday by a photographer, this is of my 2nd practice run where the engine died further up the hill
But the photos look pretty cool for some reason he felt the need to photoshop the cones out of Photo 1 for Photo 2 no idea why but i've put both up.

Have noticed I need to make my timing strut out of some thicker alloy as it bending at speed whick could be costing me 0.05 over the line.

The engine was running 516 bhp with a T66 but since it was destroyed shortly after these photo's were taken it's getting a brand new engine build with a very different spec indeed.

A few people say it's makes it look like a police car

It's all top secret at the mo, but all will be revealed once it's finished.
Just a nice amount of squat but without all the horrid neg camber due to the adjustable rear beam.

Each event at Prescott costs Ł97 and Ł105 at MIRA.
But you need all the safety kit too;
Race Suit
Helmet
Gloves and Boots
Budget for Ł600 at the very least for everything.
