It's way more than I had expected. I'd have been more than happy if we'd found 190 bhp.

If my estimate of 570kg is correct, that's going to give me 384 bhp/tonne.

that the wheels or fly?

Thats awesome news colin, well done

That power figure is bloody impressive. You are taking this car to the next level and im seriously impressed (and a bit jealous lol)

Just think what weight you could get this down if it wasnt for the pesky regs, a few more bits of metal could be removed.

Well done

She's a honey!

I have some old wrc siera or cossy rear shockers in the garage and they are made from titanium, they are seriously light :thumb:

I weighed a Mk.1 Nova standard steel wing this morning;

It's a shade over 3kg.

Chris, are your fibreglass Mk.1 wings weighing as little as 0.5kg?

hmm, seems you have more accurate measuring equipment than my bathroom scaleslol my metal wings appeared to be nearly 5kg, with the fiberglass coming in at 2.5...
