Spot the innocuous looking blue and red solenoids

That there car would be a bit fast then

That would be the car that I'm about to take delivery of...

Well well well - and there was me innocently doing a bit of a web search on fitting CBR1000 motor into locosts etc.. and I stumbled across your car

Y'all be sure to let us know how it goes.

Video, Pics etc.. ??

Owning one of those and living in Wales is gonna be fun.

Boys more pics of this car on www.sasperformancecars.co.uk along with a very high spec Stuart Taylor Locoblade.

I just had a quick look at the sasperformance site and spotted this pic.
What is supporting the upper shock mount? Is it a weld bead?

JESUS H.C. that's mad!!

It definately does look that way. It begs the question - will it pass SVA like that?

that looks REALLY dodge, it should at least be triangulated on to the chassis rail!

... which it appears to be, then I think it's just a trick of the photo.

My ST chassis has the upper mount there but it actually overlaps the chassis rail by some distance - it's just the angle at which the photo's taken which makes it looks like it's on one edge only.

If you see any other ST photos have a look. I certainly wouldn't worry about ST's ability to design a sensible chassis .

This one shows both brackets, and you can just see on the one at the top of the photo (left of the car I think) that it actually overlaps the full thickness of the chassis rail, so there's a lot of contact & weld to provide a strong joint.

Few.... that's arelief - the first photo is a bit scary!!! Just goes to show, the camera does lie!!!

as I've already driven mine, so if it did really only hang on by a thread I'd be a bit concerned!

Adam.

when i got my CBR motor i found a chap who was building a black one with a 'performance bolt on'

contacted him and he sent me some pics of his installation - looks like it may be the same one.

bet it goes like stink though lol

Hi Guys
Yes it is a trick of the camera gave you all something to talk about for a bit. The bracket actually goes right under the chassis rail.Black car with nitrous belongs to my brother and I just passed the MOT and going for SVA on Thursday fingers all crossed. Then its up to TTS to be set up before the nitrous is turned on. It's a Wizard of NOS setup with computer controller. Should put out a nice bit of power. Anyone run a CBR1000 before???

The ST Chassis'd Locoblade on the SAS Performance Cars website looks the dogs danglies.
I've seen it close up and it really is fully sorted and extremely well built. The pictures don't do it justice.
I went to see it, and had a good chat with the 3 lads running the place. They even turned down approaches from some of the major manufacturers for them to become agents. They wanted to remain independent.
The build quality and attention to detail is second to none.
Best of luck to them.

Cheers
Clanger

I second everything that Clanger has said. I'm delighted to be buying the black MK. I'm also delighted to be dealing with the guys from SAS- top blokes!

I have plenty of photos on the camera - will have to download sometime and post some here.

I'd be grateful if everyone could cross all fingers and toes for the SVA tomorrow.

Thanking you....

Tim,

All the best for today,

Let us know how your go.

And get some pics downloaded quick smart
