how does it handle honestly? what needs sorting? what problems have you come up against with the radical set up of the car? (ie wheel size and power curve).

i absolutely love ur car been watching the buil since it was just a dull yellow hachi with bolt on flares, one question i have been beggin to ask u is why did u paint the front bumper that way it is and not paint an orange line directly below the lights? is it becos of the flares u didnt want to?
yes he is
will you let him drive it??????
p.s nice engine bay
Hey Slydar
The car handle's very well, it is so predicable as well as amazingly easy to throw the back out, but it is by no means sorted as yet, we have done the whole of 3 laps in the car on the track, many people have commented on the small video, where the car understeers coming out of 2 corners, what you have to keep in mind, with any car running a combined tread surface area of 590mm or more than 1/2 a meter on the rear with a locked diff vs 430mm contact patch on the front, if the rears are griping and not being spun, the rear will over ride the front and cause massive understeer.
The night when we tested the car at Pt Gawler, was only a "drive it around the track and see how it feels", so if we needed to make changes we could do it over night, as the next day we had Adelaide International booked for the whole day, with 3 magazine reps and a video production crew coming out to do articles on the car.
Because we had already broken 2 gear boxes and did not have time or any more gear boxes available, the driver was told, do not clutch kick it, do not quick up shift it, dont load the drive train up to much, because the main event was the next day, and that was when we would push the car.
Once the new gear box is in, the drive train will be good for 1000hp and as much shock load as we can throw at it, then we will be able to push the car, and be very agressive with it in order to keep the rear wheels spinning, then we can make what ever changes are required to the set up of the car.
Sorry for the long winded answer, but with out the facts speculation takes over.
Hey dori_86 The front bumper was a mistake by the painter, the section above the indicators was supposed to be painted, this will be rectified when i get the new bumper.
Cheers on the engine bay, I will have to hav a chat with Andy once the car is up and running again.
Cheers

Ill drink to that, but I am probably a little biased............just a little, but seriously I appreciate your support, this car has been built to have fun in, and that is what building cars is supposed to be, FUN
