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 :cool:


Lookin really forward to all the updates!!!!

Daveysaff 24-11-2007 07:19 AM

:top: Gona be another mental car :top: :top:

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

carlo 24-11-2007 07:40 AM

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

- 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 :cool:

Ruudsengen 24-11-2007 07:45 AM

Insane. :top:

f6cus 24-11-2007 08:22 AM

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

Gaz 88 24-11-2007 11:13 AM

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 :eek:

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

Will be CRAZY :top:

Rippers 24-11-2007 11:57 AM

Keeping my eye on this one, gonna be mental :cool:

Homer. 24-11-2007 12:40 PM

the old car was mental fuck knows what this is, :god: 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

:top:

awesome panels. :cool:

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. :top:

NUTS RuS 24-11-2007 01:36 PM

:D Good Luck with it all :top:

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 :cool:

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 :top: :top:
