Saw that the other day and thought of telling you about it. Looks like you already spotted it though

Looks like a good one, keep us posted on your progress

Looks nice Sean, Looking forward to how it progresses

INDY BIRD - 10/12/11 at 10:12 PM

Yep looking forward to getting started, had an operation on my hand this week so can't work for a few months still I hope to get it to something like this in the end,

Will prob stick with the engine the caterham 6 speed box is slick must say, will prob step up the power to 200+ bhp dry sump etc but will make it a serious track tool I hope,

Thanks all Sean

Isn't that a Busa?

There are very few people that I'm jealous of, but one of them is you Sean!!! You've had some quality projects over the last three years!

Keep us updated!

Happy days.

Wise car choice there!

I need to get the 3 piece rear tube for mine. Keep us updated, if your retro fitting a full cage it would be good to see how you do it. Same with the new shape aero bulkhead.

Good luck, if your only in essex I may invite myself over in the new year to have a look and drink your tea!!

INDY BIRD - 11/12/11 at 05:05 PM

Hi your welcome any time currently off work till the new year due to hand opp yep happy with the car very compact and light but will be going on a diet still, screen wipers washer bottle headlights wiper motor, brake and disc upgrade etc al excess weight then the stripping and changes will happen, will see about the cage or side impact bar options also,

Will be good to see your car as a comparison,

Thanks again Sean

Are you going to sell the bits you take off? I may be interested in a couple of bits.
