Yep, custom made for my lithium ION battery. If you want to get it done in 2015 you better get booked in now, they are busy people!

UK Jack mate. They don't have saxo's over here. Only v8's... Fuel is half the price!!
Oh and to answer your previous question about getting it here (if I wanted to bring it here with me) I've already looked into that, it's only about £1000 each way on the ferry in a container. Takes a couple of months. Genuinely considering bringing it out here for 2015
I don't think the v8's would know what hit them hearing a flat 4 smashing them in the corners AND down the straights lol. It would be worth the £2,000 return trip just to see there faces at track days, or club days as they call them here.

What date is it Alan? I'll be there if it's on while I'm back 'home' (home will ALWAYS be the UK)
I've got 6 weeks off this year (whoop!) from 12th July - 24th of August

I KNEW you would get the rear setup... And you tried to throw me off the scent lol. So those engine mounts plus the rebuilt scuttle... Does that mean the engine will be lowered and canted to get more airspace for the boddies?
As for trax, I can't remember off the top of my head. Will check in a bit.

Satchell engineering fitting the front & rear kit + scuttle, engine mounts, battery box etc etc
Beaniesport are spraying & putting in custom brake lines with a brake bias valve, as the massive (awesome!) travel on the new suspension set up makes the standard brake lines un-workable
Yeah Trax is normally the last weekend in August or first weekend in September

Hahaha you should know me better than to do a half job Alan
I can't say about the engine mounts just yet, I'll show you this picture and you can make up your own conclusions...

And that's not including the front & rear dampers, fitting, the BE shafts, the battery box, the engine mounts? And lots of other bits and bobs

That bulkhead mod looks interesting, has it an added rearwards bulge?
Always wondered if something like that could be done, kind of like an airbox but not quite.
