Congratulations mate . Can't wait to catch up with you to have a good look at it in the flesh. Bet a few people will be shocked when you and your dad take them out together.

[adyzr1]

ayup pete, thanks

hows it going? are you close to sva?

cant wait to have a run out with dads

Well done ady now go and give that ticket away. Why is the gross 900kg or was it a guess when filling in the form?
And what top speed at how many revs did you put?

[adyzr1]

The weights i gave were the same as my last kit car (it had the same brake set up) dont really understand what they mean as its not the weight of the car? (car only weights @580 kg)

all i know is the mini weighs roughly the same as my caterham replica so kept the figures the same, for the brake test

i put top speed 110mph (below tyre ratings)

max rpm i put 11,000rpm (he did the noise test at 5500rpm) got the noise down to 96db ,i made an insert with some aluminium mesh and fibreglass matting rolled around it

Well done mate! Can't wait to see it on the road.

Got to wait until July for my 2nd driving test!

Hi

oli, used similar heaters to cbs ones . should be registered this week...spoke to guy at DVLA last week , he asked me to call him monday. my last kit car took 3 days from handing in paperwork so hopefully shoulnt take long.
ive got all my receipts together hoping to get an 07 plate (wont need an mot for 3 years then)

got to sort a trailer soon to get a suspension setup at z cars (did you hire yours?) as i dont want to drive it again until it is properly setup.

Dan, thats a long wait?? bet your gutted

well glad about the heaters there not fantastic but they will hardly ever get used any way, so there only there so the mot man can put his hand over and feel warm air coming out, thats good news about the registration hope it goes through quickly.I have had a little go in mine before and after setting suspension up and it makes a big difference, i borrowed my trailer off a guy who races a caterham however he had since sold the car/trailer package on so im on the look out to buy one meself, however did look into hiring them and its cheap enough if you have something to tow it with-get a twin wheeler trailer they tow much better

[adyzr1]

thanks oli,
will see how much a twin wheeler would be
