500 Speedster progress
Hi all
I just thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my car
It's now running and is having the body re-fitted next week.
I'm having a few problems connecting the tuneboy software to the triumph engine if anyone has any experience with this software please get in
touch.
 
small side
 
small rear
Should be driveable in 2 weeks big thanks to Martin at MK

Will you be taking the car to Stoneleigh? Would love to see it.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

For Tuneboy info, post on the Yahoo BEC list - Simon (Chaos999) and Guy lurk there most of the time.

I'm hoping for a trackday in march
I'm not a big show fan unless there is a trackday linked. I like the Oulton Park show idea
Then there is a massive fiat 500 show in near Nice I might go there as I think it may cause a bit of a stir
has anyone been to the scunthorpe airfield trackday Trackday

But (as far as I know) never tried tuning it....Simon and Guy squeezed it through SVA
(no offence meant, Mark)

None taken mate...wires are the one thing that wind me up then to connect a pc up to an engine to tune it is voodoo
My Daughter has taken over production of the damn fine Triton race seats and her contact email is emmatrs@live.co.uk.

Ok everyone
Just a quick update I have just spoken to martin
The car weighs 400KG !!!!!!!
As it stands in the picture so with the body (grp),seats(grp)and lights I'm looking at an all up weight of approx 450kg
Engine 130bhp maybe a bit more
So looking at a power to weight of approx 288bhp per ton
I think that stacks up quite well if my math was correct
The only heavy item left to add is ME!!!!!
Looks like its the atkins diet for me thats cheaper than tuning the engine 
Lee
PS I have a 150bhp Daytona engine in the garage for when I get used to the car
