The Xtrac gearbox is £40k alone!
Actually, mine will be very similar with the bodykit and colour being the same. This car is still obviously a bit compromised to be road legal though, and has stuff like an HKS ECU which nobody would use in the racing world! 400bhp from a 3.5 conversion is also...
No, its easy for the Elise because its so simple inside! You simply flip the rack over and then re-route gearbox cables. All of the Motorsport cars were central seat original.
I think the honest reason they did it was a marketing one. It gave the car a bit more of a race look, but you're right...
LOL, yeah the screen popped out! Fortunately it survived without major damaged... How did the car you look after get on?
Sorry Tom, don't get what you mean? My dad drove alone at Anglesey.
Mine is no where that bad, but it helps that its not a dark colour. When my dad had a black X3 it was shocking, as bad as the above photo over the whole car.
All modern BMWs are like this, in fact most modern cars period because of the way paint is now done...

Awesome. What engine?
Don't agree with this balls about preferring one to something like an M3 though. I'm not knocking the car in the slightest, but 99% of people still think you're just another chav driving a modified hot hatch. After a while most people grow up and prefer an all rounder.

My car is worth just over £30k, they value it at £17,195...
Cheers Mark.
Well, the engine seems to be OK now. Last season we had a few engine failures but in fairness to the k-series, this was as much down to abuse (over-revving) as it was the engine's inherent problems.
The gearbox will probably always be an issue, but each time something happens, the...
I had to go to the missus' art exhibition, got to do my duty occasionally!
I'm not sure on the specifics. The central seat is an obvious one, and for some reason you have to have a glass screen whilst ours is perspex. I imagine our car was lighter than the others, but then is somewhat lacking...
