heres a video with very bad sound and very bad grip!

[alexcrosse]

Hit 2000 miles today, still running well, clean and pulls. still need to take more fuelling out of lower map sites, getting around 35-40mpg but think if i take more fuel out on lower load cruising sites ill get it to 45-50mpg. That 35-40 is not eco driving either, its regular trips to 7750rpm on hitting the rev limiter and raping it into the next gear to spin up the wheels! Next job is handling before further engine developments. Full miglia cage is coming early next week, the engine is ripping the shell to bits i think... doors arnt shutting as well as they used to! Then going to work on the rear end. I have discovered that some people who have told me "just get the front geometry set well, the back only follows" are completely wrong! lol.

16v daily driver ftw!

[The Matt]

Blimey, you get around a bit!

[alexcrosse]

70 miles a day, every day!

I think I recognise the roads in that video. Would I be correct in thinking just north of Banbury?
Nice project by the way.

Hell of an engine you have there alex. But i think you need a better quality video to show us lot how nice it really sounds.

Well der!

That sounds awesome, love to hear a better quality vid, keep up the good work mate, post up some pictures of the cage when you get it. It doesn't suprise me about the shell, i think it was pauls sprint that needs a new floorpan because of the power he runs without a cage.

You finished building my one yet?

[alexcrosse]

lol, affraid not!

[alexcrosse]

cars been going ok, only problem being a snapped throttle cable, easily fixed! getting on to 3000 miles now

Had a great weekend at avon park, drank my own body weight in cider. The car managed a 14.6 second quarter, 60ft in 2.3 seconds. Thought this was very good considering it is full weight really, with falkens on the front at 28psi! LOL. Itll easily see 13's with yokos on the front i think.

Bought some more bits for the car recently...
First of all:

roll centre miglia weld in cage, should do the trick! just gotta get it in :S

And:


motordrive fibreglass bucket seats with securicon 4 point 3" harnesses

Time to start cutting some weight!!!
