Stunning! Some very nice fabrication work going on there :)

That cage is hardcore! Similar trick touches to that last hillclimb car you had (front engine mount etc), was it built by the same people?

Yes, they were both the work of Andrew Bradley (BTEC Racing). This turbocharged one was the 'evolution' of the previous naturally aspirated one.

I will get some pictures of the underneath soon, where there are more interesting things like a rose-jointed adjustable rear anti-roll bar, alloy fuel tank, side-exit exhaust system etc.

Thats not an engine that is a bloody work of art, i hope this one doesnt ever get broken colin:thumb:

agreed about that cage and loving that slam panel.
