Well 13" with low profiles will get it up to speed quite quickly, i think a 10" wheel with low profile tyres would possibly a bit to under geared even for sprinting, no?
Cant wait to see some updates.

Sorry a 280mmx5mm disc
Is that a typo as that is super super thin?
Probably not mate, as there light weight bike disks.
As Scott says, bike discs being used. Few pics a few posts backQuote:

Been a little while since I updated, but there has been some work going on.
Yesterday I welded some tubes into the sills to accept my sill stands. I've actually added a little weight with these!
But it will make working on the car so much more convenient, at least until the day I get my 2-post lift installed (which is a long way off).
Whilst I was busy with the grinder I also removed the extra metal plates that fix the rear towing eye to the chassis rail. An awful lot of work for almost no weight loss!
Dan at ACW Motorsport Plastics kindly sorted me out with a set of 2mm polycarbonate windows, which I need to get fitted. These will be bonded directly to the shell, so I can do away with the rubber seals and save some weight.
I'll add some photos soon.
Can you post pics of how youve done the sill stands please
Just drill through the outer sill skin & through the inner sill box section, weld them in, weld a blanking plate over the "open" end of the tube, and a surround plate (strengthening plate) if you think youll need them.Quote:

Will do Paul, my Nova is sat in a friends workshop until I go and collect it on Monday, as I was using his 4 post lift to make my life easier.Quote:
