My mrs is thinking of commentary for F1 now

She has the perfect voice for BBC commentary though very nice. We're putting Andy Pandy back in the box now it's time to say goodnight

I haven't even started the ZX12R I picked up last year...

Nice one! sounds great


blakep82 - 23/12/10 at 06:54 PM

you only bought that M3 about 5 nmonths ago didn't you? i bought my engine about 3 years ago lol, and it still doesn't do much


franky - 23/12/10 at 06:59 PM

Been building since march ish but had a good few months off. Its the rest that'll take me ages!


blakep82 - 23/12/10 at 07:03 PM

i'm still barely at rolling chassis stage! well, maybe a bit further forward. never got the ttime and money at the same time. i've got plenty of time atm, no money. when i've got the money, i won't have the time.

Fantastic :-)

Quick question, i want to mount my headlights high like yours, caterham style, do you have any pictures of the mounts ?? im presuming i will have to make them but really like the way it looks.

Ive picked up the caterham indicators & plastic mounts, got the 7" headlights too, its just the mounts im not sure on.

Loving the BMW lump in there too


Davey D - 23/12/10 at 07:15 PM

It looks, and sounds great should be quite nippy with that engine! have you used the full bmw drivetrain, and bmw front uprights?


franky - 23/12/10 at 07:20 PM

I'll have a look for a pic of the mounts, its just a bent hollow tube. I've fitted 5 3/4 inch lights as the 7" look a bit big in this car as its quite small. Its all the m3 drivetrain, rear uprights are custom for the kit and fronts are 'modified' exchange items to get the geometry to make it handle. Looking at them I can only see the bearing/hub mount is retained.

ETA headlight bar.
