There wasn't a section for this brand, so I stuck it in Locost Related. Although due to the build cost, that really isn't correct!

I'm waiting to receive the engine from the YouTube clip below - should be interesting...

That cheap vinyl from ebay certainly looks good from the right angle

What do you recon the weight is going to come out as? Should be well over 1000bhp/tonne with that engine... 'till you get in it

adrian

Kriss - Thanks, engine is an RS Performance 2.3 V6 520bhp and weighs 82 kilos inc supercharger. (gearbox is 6spd seq Sadev) ECU will have launch control, 4 wheel TC and obv it'll be paddleshift with full throttle changes etc

Cloudy - Yeah mate, it's a machine alright!

Stu - Not as much as me!!!

Stott - No worries mate, I was trying to sound sarcastic, and it came out indignant! Sorry! But, no it wasn't at Stoneleigh, I am hoping for it to be at next years though for definite!

Adi - It should be around 500 - 515 kilos, so yes, over 1000bhp/tonne

is that in anyway related to Richard in France (RIP)?

Yes it is, I'm finishing what he sadly can't...

Looking good Steve.....very good....

gulp. speechless!!

Thought it may have been Richards project.

I've bought some of RiF's Carbon-Bits and been down to his factory in the Borders a few years back. He was an absolute perfectionist and his work was top-notch!

Put most of the 'larger' CF kit-part manufacturers to shame.

Sad loss to the Se7en community.

That looks and will look amazing!!! I cant wait to see it..

EDIT: Carbon Tub? or what chassis?

[Edited on 29/8/10 by eddie99]

Caterham chassis... skinned in CF!

wow, that looks amazing.

that will shift and look great.

very nice steve

Amazin----- How much to do an SR2 ????

This project has been on hold for a variety of reasons.

It would be churlish of me to discuss them on an open forum at this time...

It is now going ahead and I should be collecting the engine this coming week. It will be roughly 525bhp in IVA map mode and circa 600bhp in full power map mode. It shouldn't be slow and I would imagine it would give the V8 Atom 500 (that appeared on BBC's Top Gear in October of last year), a pretty good run for it's money...

I will update the thread, or maybe start a new one, when I have more information/parts. If anyone wants any specific info or photos as the project develops then please let me know.

Regards,

Steve

You stalking again Joe ....
