And in response to the engine comments it will be fully stripped and inspected before we start using it, we have a full rebuild kit so whatever it needs it will get so when we do start burning rubber there will be no hiccups. should be abit of a monster with around 450-500bhp

And everything to rebuild the axle also turned up today.

Hmm - I think I might have gone with much stickier tyres if I was aiming for 500BHP?

Ah these are just for rolling it around, when I start competing I will buy another set of split rims and put some proper rubber on them

that being said I had these same Toyo Proxies on my TVR and they were very good, quite compliant on the edge of grip and good for drifting.

Had the tyres put on the wheels today which means we are getting closer to a rolling chassis...

I also managed to get the glass out without breaking it which if you know me is impressive, I tend to break things just by looking at them and sometimes without.
