Anything under 800kg would be nice, as with 200bhp that would give me 250bhp per ton
Need to get a bonnet done somewhere next

I think with all that carbon you may have to wrap the bumpstrips as the black looks a lil out of place now.

When you say get it done somewhere, does that mean you didn't just buy the boot? Did you get a mould n stuff done of it?!

It was the s1 blue one with the black roof with black wheels, I only drove it in the morning (until the open pit finished @ 1:15) and according to form it was on 3 wheels through the first chicane every time haha!
I was gutted as well mate, whats even more annoying is its the first time ive been in the UK in june for 3 years, and it could be 2013 until im next in the UK for fcs
Jay - haha, nah I got the boot from bic @ streamline carbon, but no where makes the mark 1 saxo bonnet in CF so need to find somewhere or sort a group buy to make it worthwile to make the mould!
Joe - I know what you mean mate lol

haha i might have to, really enjoyed myself today tbh!
Yeah mango would have gone well around there considering it has another 60bhp and a better suspension set up compared to my brother xsi, it still goes pretty well for a 1.4 though doesnt it
Tom - Damn right, we were just clinging to it for a while then we started catching it i couldnt believe it haha

Yeah it's annoying when they break down but at least it didn't happen in Germany mate. And I still got to rape sam's xsi round track for a few hours so I enjoyed it, and glad you enjoyed the passenger ride mate

You guys are so lucky you and alexb. Somehow you've all managed to get your cars to the sort of level and power i've always wanted and its very annoying!
I will own a saxo/106 variant that will pants down rape the big boys in the next 5 years!
By that time you should all have your cars to about 1000bhp lol

my car proved yesterday at FCS you dont need a powerful car to keep up and even pass the big boys..... anyone who passengered with me or josh will tell you driver abiltity is half the battle won.......
i think a cammed VTS with good brakes and suspension with a good driver would be as quick if not quicker than anything i saw out there all day..... except for colin and deans turbo saxo's they were insane!!!

I vouch for sams comment (one above mine) everyone slates the 8v lumps but I didn't see many 16v's pull away yesterday unless bodied or cammed!
driver ability is half the battle won for sure. if you can drive and have a bigger power car then fair play tbh!

What suspension as a general rule do they run? I know the regs but don't know the rough specs of their cars. PM me if you can mate as jp may get an ass on lol

Chat away lads its cool....
Agree with Sam, even though bigger powered stuff pulled away down the straights i pulled most of that back in the infield anyway
And yeah, no point in having shit loads of power, if you cant make the most of it then your much better spending your money on driver tuition than on more and more shizzle for the car

its really frustraiting when you see an awesome car driven by a tit... you see a lot of it on trackdays (especially car shows). as sams car shows.
even josh said at his last trackday hardly anything passed him.. imagine how quick these cars can be with a good driver and an awesome car lol.. hopefully josh can prove this even more so soon
