Yours was in the big box when i ordered mine, chris wouldnt give me yours. As you know chris is racing his and finding the faults so still in development.
Hopefully mine will have the latest mods and be on show at the nec on time. I will definatly take my camera and post some pics.

I'm glad to here he wouldn't give you mine....I waited a long time for that "big box" to show up over here! So what's the latest from the track with his 'busa powered Monte? Last I heard he was having fun driving the car to sprints, beating all comers, and driving home (sounds like my kind of fun). Any major modifications to your car as a result of his experience with his?

Can't wait to hear more / see more on yours - defo take your camera. Yours will be a dedicated track car,yes?

Nice welding by the way.

Monte.

I have waited a long time for mine too. I was talking to richard from zcars last week, he says the suspension is set up amazing now both on road and the track.
I think the mods were mainly the front uprights to improve the steering plus the new side skirts and front spoiler
I will be using mine on the road and the track.
Defo some drag racing, may sound boring but i have drag raced bikes for many years.

Future plans may include a supercharger and some engine mods, going to have a chat with holeshot and tts lads at the show

and a "must have" in the future would be the v8 hayabusa engine in somthing.

I wouldnt if i were you, The lads using them in the radicals are not happy bunnys apparantley, great whilst there going but the rebuilds needed are very frequent after a couple of race meetings and not cheap either, also heard of a few letting go lately aswell, brilliant peice of engineering though!!!

Cheers

I can relate to drag racing being here in the States...the most popular form of motorsport here other than NASCAR...I'm a road racer myself being more fond of F1 and GT cars....but I plan on dusting a few "fast cars" once the Monty is done or course

On your comments about motor options, does your Monte have a stock motor now (mine does)?

Oh, and to Markrally73, when are you going to show us the end of your "unzipped" video - that thing has been tormenting me for weeks?

Cheers,

Aric

Mark
do you have any links or info to problems with the v8

Aric
The busa engine is standard with 11,000 miles.

I do enjoy road racing but the problems of getting to race meetings time and money. I wil defo do one race and see where it leads.
I have a mate who has retired from the british rallycross he is showing an interest in my projects, we are planning to hire a track and use his truck to get us there.

I have decided to tidy up my project pages today and host them all on photobucket, so there is loads more pictures on earlier posts to look at. Just trying to free up some space (its a new year thing).

The post man came aswell today, with this





At last i can get on with something

First thing is make a mould and mass produce them in their thousands

Then cut out the holes,paint it or do the flocker thing

cheers ian

[markrally]

Looks like it needs a lot of trimming to fit around the top dash rail
Regards to the v8 busa's it is all word of mouth but my friend does a lot with westfield and powertec and this is what he has been hearing?

cheers

[koss]

Better large than small lol. I will find out tomorow.

On the v8 i will see what the gen is at the nec. I am definatly thinking about one in the future.

[dean_chad]

[koss]

Got me dash in today as dean said @ 15mm off the front, i also took 10 mm off the sides, took about 1 1/2 hrs
Well happy with it, will post pics later.

Anyone know the the best place to buy a undrilled round steering wheel in suede ?

[TOMMO0302]

MOWOG may be able to help you out with that query Koss (have a look at his project to see if its what your after)

Looking forward to more pics

[koss]

Still looking into the steering wheel

Flip front nearly sorted hinges. no one must of done this before on a zcars front sub frame so am not going to say how its done
