Could anyone tell me which uprights I have got? Just bought the car and am not sure. Pic's Below. I need to know as I am ordering some wilwoods for her.

They are Cortina uprights. You have the Cortina M16 Calipers on there at the moment.

yep def cortina !

... lose the splash guards!!!

And need some painting to

and scaffolding pole wing stays!

Ai, don't know why the guards are still on, what do you mean scaffold pole wing stays?

At least they shouldn't break like some lightweight items

I will have to sort that out like, I will be stripping the car, re-painting and raplacing some parts, like the wilwoods, perhaps alli hubs etc, i wll be trying to lose as much weight as poss because it currently weigh's 749kg!!!

Any tips of what to lose, the roll bar looks a bit OTT like, seats are comming out to be replaced with GRP, engine will be removed and replaced with a k series, rear spare wheel and mount to be removed, new dash, surround etc. The windscreen looks heavy but also looks good. Front Rad looks fooked, that's my plans so far.

Oh n some new tyres, it's on remoulds!!! Yikes

Wow, 750kg seems a bit high even with a boat anchor under the bonnet! The floor hasn't been paneled with 1/4" plate has it?

If they are Colway remoulds you should be o.k. as lots of racers use them. Is 749kgs the SVA design weight, it seems a lot for a Locost?

Ally Hubs will save you about 2 Kg's, the willwoods will save you more

I cant believe that comes in at 749 KG!!

The exhaust comes out on the passenger side so I asume it has a crossflow rather than a Pinto. Those wing stays look beefy but even still. 749? Has it been built in 3 mill box section or something?
