Kinda yeah. £13k would buy mine, £16k would get you a 250bhp monster. £16k would get you a good 160bhp Caterham.

Brand, a bit more R & D gone into them, finish is a bit better, dealer network, warranty, most are factory built now.

Yeah basically.

Not that hard to switch between anything really. A few Honda K20 ones now. Make good power but they are a heavy old lump.

New wheels and tyres. They get me away from using spacers on the rear too! Old wheel weight 19kg New front weight 12.6kg New rear wheel weight 14.7kg Total saving of 21.4kg unsprung! Which in this is worth 10bhp/tonne! Trial fit

Sold to @JD enjoy it my friend... Sad to see it go. There's a lot of my time in that car!

Footman James. I pay £177 a year for my Red one. (5000 mile limit) I pay £231 for my Blue one with 3 track days covered and agreed value of £15k. (4000 mile limit)

Also a Zero will be nearer 650kg with a zetec in, not sub 500kg.

LOL at the £10K guesses, you can all pay me £20k for my one then....

Well this thread is tragic

That cover is cringe.

I had a V6 manual. The box isn’t very nice.

Like I said still a good time. In my Westfield I can do a 2:14.5. Loads of places I could be faster if I was a better driver. So to do the same ish time in something weighing 200 more kg is awesome.

While I like these, its a bit of a ball ache having one in the way of you being under the car. I want a 2 post lift really. Shame they are so dear.

2:16 round Snett 300 is good going. Whats the power torque and weight?

Winter strip down started. Time for it to be a money and time pit no doubt. Hopefully will be looking different for next year. Worryingly I found I was missing 4 bolts out of my inlet.... I'm guessing they weren't ingested!

Looks like a spastic wagon. Perfect for your big Essex blonde head.

Emerald ecu. RPM, speed, throttle position etc

The Alpina is straight through from the Cat, it sounds crap apart from when its towing.

Lee it would be wrapping this. So: Nose cone (Removable) Bonnet (Removable) Scuttle (Removable) Sides (flat) Rear (flat) The front and rear wings would be left black/carbon. The rear wings are detachable so getting to the back should be fine. The only complex shape there is, is the nose...

I use a Garmin Virb currently. I'm not happy with the GPS refresh rate. So I think I'll go, Galaxy S6 using Harry's laptimer, 10hz GPS for position and speed and a bluetooth odb reader for the car data.

I just fancy doing bits of the kit car. No panels are that awkward really. Just think it'd be a good thing to learn.

Anyone done it?

What do you use?

Track pics!

Final session from Snett. Managed a 2:14.5 which I'm happy with.

You do realise you can offer finance too right on a private sale.

It was 4 years since it was last used in anger. Since then it'd done 36 miles. Picking Snetterton where on Bentley straight it was riding the rev limiter in 5th all the way down probably wasn't the best place to break it back in....

Snetterton was a blast. I've blown the seal on the gearbox and the seal on the diff though. Something to do over winter.

Dave doesn't map any more sadly. He hangs about a bit though. He didn't think we'd see over 190 with a 7800 rev limit. They did say the lotus lot would buy my engine for about the same money they could sell me a 260bhp 2.3 Duratec for. So thats an option in the future.
