That's most excellent! It's nice when your accomplishments are noted by others especially in print.
I absolutely love the look of the Coram and admire the attention to detail you guys have put into it.
It is sweet.

Steve, the current version with the ZX12 is a blast to drive, a couple of minor mods on the bodywork pending and thats about it for the moment, the
next development will be a V6, but if anyone wants one with the ZX9 or ZX12 can do

Lmp
I work on a subbie basis for the guy that designed it, I do the fabrication for him I generally introduce myself as the Company Blacksmith, but I do
the steelwork and some of the GRP, he occasionally lets me drive them (good perk) when we have fully developed it I will be building one.

Quite a nice article, going on about track days in general then presenting the Coram as the ULTIMATE trackday car. Very flattering, and deservedly so
as the car is quite unique at this point.
Wish you and the gang at Coram lots of luck, so maybe you won't have to eat haggis anymore 
Just kidding--haggis is fantastic, and who could've guessed from the ingredients?

That is such an incredibly good looking automobile! Clean, lean and mean.
Is there any chance of seeing her in her undies?  You know - just the frame with mechanicals in-situ? I would love to see how the engine connects to
the rear differential!

Shug,
I can do most things, but NOT your cosmetic surgery...
If you want a new body shape, better get down the gym for a couple of years!

gear lever
I guess you used a cable to operate that gear lever. Would it be possible to use one on a standard alfa gearbox (1.7 16v boxer)? Plus if you
haven't got place for the tank be hind the seats where do you put it, in the front of the dash or ontop of the engine (my engine is very flat an
low)?
Regards
Alain

You'll need a mechanical selector mechanism for that 'box. Cable's tend to work well with bike engined application because they only
move back and forth, a 5-speed 'h' pattern will need something a little more complex. I know that the new generation of small hatchbacks
utilise cable shift, though...
The fuel tank on the LMP sits between the sloping bulkhead behind the seats and the vertical engine bay bulkhead.

Great looking car Steve! Always liked it's simple but very attractive lines.
Could someone tell me what is the exact weight of ZX12? with and without dry sump?

Outstanding! Too bad you don't make an LHD version and sell it in the USA, because I might just have to put a 2nd mortgage on the house for one!
Thanks for the piccies!

Wow! looking at cockpit pictures now - like it! Thats one neat shifter there! How does it works (sorry for dumb question). Great looking instruments
- what are they? where to get and how much?
Also may I give a little suggestion? I think it will be nice to sepatate passanger legs from introuding in drivers feet area - there's
nothing fun about if it happens at speed - especialy fun with LHD when passenger is stomping on loud pedal while you're trying to find those
brakes .

Steve, Hugh - I'm very curious. What chassis torisional stiffness you'v got there? Any data on aero - CFD or something? Not trying to
get your sectrets just wanted to know - knowing that Bentley speed 8 has 5500lb of downforce at 200mph doesnt help one know HOW and WHY
Also it looks like you don't have much ackerman in there (upright pictures) also what hub are you using (thinking what to use myself)?

Steve, u shouldnt have said that, we do a left hand drive version, designed that way from scratch to service the US/Canadian market, U2U tadltd if u
want details sent direct, we are already looking to export to the USA very soon, initally as a track car to show off the bike installation but there
is US engine we are working detail on as we speak, which should if all goes to plan allow road use too. Just the packaging to finish. + build
regulations to worry about, thats the holdup.

Ted the uprights are designed for the car but use standard BMW bearings for ease of supply in Europe and US. We wont release details of the tech spec
of the car other than what u can see for commercial resons, other than that there are still a couple of minor bodywork/chassis issues to change anyway
so the figures Steve has would be of no use to u Suffice to say its getting better Steve could supply the uprights in Ali or Magnesium if u want
them though, I believe they can be machined to use a Ford Hub/bearing set in lieu of the BMW version if u want a cheaper or alternative build,
Calipers to suit depend on how big yr wallet is
Shug.
