hi all
just a quick update / an appology for those that have wondered where ive been, we have had a new machine installed, and have a had a fare share of teething problems / and a steep learning curve to deal with, but now after five weeks of hell and three hundred pounds worth of phone calls to the usa we are now and back on track and im pleased to announce that finally the lmp is on the home straight, after being a bare bodytub for a year and a half all being well i should be able to post some rolling chassis pics end of next week when the powdercoating returns, and if things go to plan we should be svaing and testing the car on track in four weeks time , im also currently working on some bodywork upgrades / aero parts for the vortx that will fit to all existing cars and will be an upgrade option on new cars although final versions will not be availble till the end of the year, items include rear splitter, front splitter that incorporates the front arches ( along the lines of the caparo ), side pods, and some even wider rear arches

best regards

marc

Sounds very interesting with the aero parts, would be nice with some parts for a winter upgrade.
Will they generate any down force?

Don't forget, that first diffuser is MINE all mine!!!!!Better start saving the pennies for the front end though!!!

good stuff Marc

make sure the rear wings can take my 245's....

dont think the MSA regulations will allow splitters or diffusers after next year.. something about parts falling with the shadow of the car... be cool for road and track cars though....
