I am starting to think I might be a bit that way you know... Will certainly stick out in the farming community. Rightly or wrongly it is in the most ‘resaleable’ colour combo. Innit

Yeah good deals on the remaining MY17 cars atm

Mans not hot.

£11k. It’s on 95k now, will come freshly serviced along with 9 months MOT.

100% all of ours before have. This ones nav had a fit within 4 miles of the dealer ha ha.

The Alpina wasn't doing it for me. So this has arrived. Still have the Alpina if anyone wants it? Bought it unseen off a spec sheet. Its blacker than I expected.... Black with the 'stealth' (lol) pack, is err black. 100 miles in and its doing 32.1mpg, not bad. 3.0 Diesel V6 with 306bhp...

To be fair these were going pop from the off. I posted on there about my friends going with in 2k miles and 4 weeks of delivery. All the ford fan boys said it was isolated and would be a 'bug' with the early cars. The problem was there from the onset, using a blinkered 'ooooooh Ford RS' view...

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?
