amazing. love this =)
The car has run the Hockley box since it was first built with great results, brakes have never been a issue on the car although like anything it may be one of the modifications he chooses to do in the future if he ends up on a massive weight saving diet. The car is already in the 600's, I forget the actual weight although the gearbox will of added some weight compared to the F13.
Took your advice on the battery lol ;)

I would imagine that the car will be further developed after a while, for now I think its just a case of wanting to see it together asap and on track getting used in anger.
I have no doubt that every little helps when it comes to weight but also finding the exact suspension/geometry setup seems to be a task that others struggle with, I wouldn't say anyones cars currently or in the past have handled to perfection, most people I speak to are always mentioning slight handling issues and I think thats where Ben really wants to spend some time ( and money if it needs it) perfecting it as realistically it should have more than enough power. I'm not saying it will handle like a go kart or be perfect but I know it did hold on superbly well before so he must atleast be somewhere in the right area.
More updates soon, the car should (weather permitting) be at PV on the VS stand but it won't be running by then but I'm sure a few people will fancy a look round it.
Must come have a look at it.Quote:

Sadly not, He's been a bit busy doing other things and now his work are rebuilding their office so all the files and units are under the ramp his car is on.
I believe he is going up there tomorrow though which I assume is to crack on with some more bits.
Certainly not a lot to do now, just finding the time to do it !
I believe he's concentrating on getting the new tca's made for it so he can have the shafts made as thats probably the biggest job that needs sorting, after that its some hoses and some wiring and that should be about it, oh exhaust but basically not a hell of a lot to do.
just read this from the begining and wow this car is awsome :) tell your mate to keep up the good work
