Brakes arnt that different than stock with the parts Yozza sells. You can get better ie 4 pots etc

That gearbox is the one to have though shame its only good for a few hundred miles before needing new oil and a few thousand before rebuilds.

I so want one of those cars though.

 

[Fred@BTM]

edde read the spec on the first one, it has AP 4pots + 330mm discs

and 200bhp

 

[BenR]

gearbox when treated properly can last far longer than that without rebuilds.

Its a tough little thing.

Hum Id been told its a race only usable box.

Could you use it on a road going car (assuming it only did a few road miles Im not on about using it for 20k/yr maybe 5k max.

Sorry Fred never fully read the spec.

 

[BenR]

it is a race unit, but so long as its not abused like it is on track all day long it can live quite a happy life.

Gearboxs undergo a sh*t load of stress, if you knew how much your std one had on it youd wonder how it lasts the week.

 

[Andyvalver]

Nah, Im gonna wait until the trophy 2 and 3 come out

 

[JJ!]

so all this talk about the back having to be a mile higher than the front (as found on the trophy) to get good handling................ is true or no true, as the first car looks pretty slammed all round!

 

[theduck]

i want this one

its not true, since castor is not adjustable on any of the cars, lowering the rear increases the castor angle an improves turn in.

however there is a bonus to be associated with the positive weight shift with a dropped nose on a FWD car.

0-100 in 10secs.... mmmmmmm
