985cc Turbocharged Nova Sprint Car

[MK999]

Never actually looked at it before but do you have to run standard wishbones etc on the front Colin? Or do the rules only stipulate 'standard mounting points'

Looks freaking awesome. I might even have to come to an event once its built up and see it in the flesh. Do you have your event details for 2012?

They are standard TCA's with a spherical bearing to the chassis. We are allowed to relocate mounting points slightly (15mm if I remember rightly).

There's nothing to stop me changing them, but the standard ones are lightweight and seem to work!

Grey with orange decals would look good imo

Thanks, I haven't committed to any events yet for 2012, although my target once again will be the Gurston Down Hillclimb Championship;

I need to get out testing to make sure everything is working ok once the rebuild is done, and my plan is to shake it down at Santa Pod when 'Practical Performance Car' magazine have their RWYB day there toward the end of March.

I expect to be out during 2012 at Harewood (Yorkshire), Loton Park (Shropshire) and probably at Blyton/Cadwell/Barkston Heath (Lincolnshire).

Looks great Colin, can't you just fit a engine and race it like that Would certainly be under 500kgs then!

If you are thinking about doing it orange do it the 'dyno-rod' orange
Colour the vans are.They certainly stand out

Every dynorod orange van you see is faded massively tho! Bright orange would look nuts, go for it.

Shell looks hardcore like that with everything on the front and back chopped out! Love it

orange makes cars look fast...

I considered about that Dynorod Red (they call it red, rather than orange), but it does fade.

I'm 99% sure I'm going for bright orange now, although everyone who's seen my Nova today loves the flat grey finish of the primer!

The McLaren colour looks great, as per Mowgli's post.
