BHP per tonne doesnt really matter too much when you are not doing low speed corners. A 3 tonne car with 600bhp will probably have sooo much more torque to just piss on us with ease on every circuit where the corners flow at high speed.

Cadwells tight though, perfect for hatches.

Not necessarily as its all relevent to weight again, if my car has 150lb ft of torque for example, but only weights 825kgs, that means something that weights 2 ton will need over 350lb ft of torque to have the equivalent torque, if that makes sense. Plus especially around tight circuits our little hatches can get on the power so much earlier in the corner it wont matter anyway.

Tbh theres only 3 or 4 high speed circuits in the UK, where as tight circuits your looking at 20-30 easily

josh have you weighed your car lately then?

No Tom, but with sound deadening removed behind the dash, carbon boot and bonnet on id imagine 825 should be easily achiveable

yeah i would have thought so too mate in all honesty so ave you got the boot and bonet on then now?

No bonnet im trying to sort something as no one makes them now. Boot i have but its not road legal, needs some lighting for the number plate so i will be modifying that after easter prob and get that fitted.

Dash will be coming out at easter for spraying the interior if the weathers good :)

New camera to capture footage on my next track day...

i have one of those, instructions were all but in english :S

good quality for the price though

Charge = USB
Start video = button 1
Stop button = button 2

Not that hard chris :P lol

Awesome quality though from the videos @ cadwell. Ill try it out at Donnington on the 23rd May :D

then you have to hold one of them to switch between video and pictures etc etc

i blu tacced mine on the dash, above the dials stayed there too, even the wing mirror when i went for a short blip at 60/70 :p

Yeah I've been told that's the best way. Will see what happens :)

Strippage from today....

Started like this





Half way through







Finished like this for today



And popped my new tax disk holder on as well

Please tell me the carpet is being re-fitted...............

It is being refitted James. Only came out to remove sound deadening, tar and paint the interior. Then going back in, just going to cut the flap off at the back so it looks tidier :)

get some apc through a foaming lance and jet wash that mo fo carpet josh!!!!

Love it mate. Im trying to catch you up with my mango build.Haha will take me time :) Hopefully have two mango s's on track :)

Very good news.....im happy again now.

Not round lauras anytime soon so I can borrow yours are you? Chances are carpet won't be going back in for another week or so!

Haha good luck with that mate, 2 mangos would be epic :D

Lol James, I thought you would know me better than that to think I might take the carpet out!

Love the progress. Always been an inspiration!

Cheers dude, I'm getting there...
