Dimensions, GT1

Hi guys. Contemplating a GT1 build (hope they get round to SVA'ing one soon). Have a BJ Minno trailer at the moment, but dunno whether it'd be too narrow for a GT1 - specifically whether the side panels would clear the raised edges of the Minno. Any clues/sizes appreciated.

Cheers

SnipeZ,

From memory when I collected the parts for mine, a finished car is approx 5 foot 5-6 inch wide (less than I thought at first), and just over 12 foot long.

My ride height (it's not finished yet, but shouldn't change too much as this is with all the heavy stuff in - except me!) is about 4-5".

The outer edge of the wheels are pretty close to the outer edge of the bodywork too (if you get my drift).

Also, remember the front overhang is quite long for getting it up the ramps.

Hope that helps, but if you want me to measure up properly at the weekend, let me know.

Adam.

Bit of a neck ache tihs morning Jon?
Been to pick some bits up from the unit and had a good look. You seem to have damaged it slightly


Jon Ison - 29/6/03 at 04:18 PM

yea, just had another look myself today, bit stiff in the neck/back area but considering the impact i think everything stood up well, i had some pics mailed to me last night too, "shockin"

Jon,
Hope mind and body aren't too badly damaged!

Thanks for the impromptu crash-test - Euro-NCAP? bring it on! It looks like it survived well.

Funnily enough I've been debating whether to have more of a 'cage' on mine when it's finished!

How did it happen?

Adam.
