Looks good doesn't it! I like the fact its completely built out of CDS. The only problem there might be at IVA time is with headlamp height. The ride height is lower than a snakes ass in a wagon rut! I was thinking about extended damper brackets that bolt between the lower damper rose joint and the wishbone mount raising the ride height by about 25mm then being removable with just a bolt to lower the car for hill climbing /sprinting/trackdays with out altering the set up/ corner weights etc. I was talking with Rob about having something that I could hill climb on the weekend then drive to Le Mans with out doing a complete rebuild! He sounds as though he can be really flexible as I only wanted a rear roll cage and he said that would be fine. Now to convince him it needs a hard top and doors….

A few more for you.




It does look great. I think it will look absolutely knockout in silver grey metallic with minilights. I will be specking it with a full screen and only a rear cage. Was looking at the performance figures for an S2000 and it weighs 1260kg which is quite light for a production car and still manages the sprint to 60 in 6.2 secs. Now think how quick it will be after loosing HALF the weight….! This is what an on line calculator worked out.

Power to Weight: 387 bhp/ton
0-60: 3.9
0-100: 8.8
60-100: 4.9
1/4 Mile ET: 11.91
1/4 Mile Terminal: 114

I think we can ignore all the 1/4 mile stuff as I'm sure that would depend on gearing but all the same its still not too shabby!

I think it looks really good! I'm going to re clothe the fury in it once the rebuild is done. Have you spoken to Rob about the cost of the body with screen? My price list doesn't show it as an option, would much prefer it than an aero screen.

When we talked at stonleigh he did say he had the mould for the screen somewhere and it wouldn't take much to include it on a shell. Because of the low numbers of cars produced I think he would be quite open to it. The Striker chassis is similar in dimensions to the Cyana so it might be a go-er. As I want to IVA it when its done so I think Rob would be receptive, especially as I think the magazines would be quite keen to feature it in its final finished form. I wonder if the roof from a Raw Phoenix/Fisher Fury would fit? Could be the answer to all my prayers!

Does any body know the track width of the body work with the wide arches? I have heard 6' shorter wheel base than a locost but no mention of the width.

It did occur to me that I have a copy of the Stoneleigh show guide, but unfortunately they're not listed. Although I don't think he was listed separately last year, I think the kit was on with the 750MC stand?

I can't get to Stoneleigh this year, could someone keep an eye out for it and see if there are some other contact details?

Last year Rob was with the 750mc stand. I'm hoping he'll be there again, as I was planning on ordering a body.

Fingers crossed!

Good to hear yours is almost done Blake!

All of the details on the leaflets that are kicking around are completely wrong. If you want Robs details then u2u Blake or myself and we'll send them over. I completely echo what blakes saying though, Rob was a true gent to deal with.

If you want any other pictures there are some in my build diary, and ill add more as it goes on.

Im not sure if Rob wants them broadcast, he is pretty much a one man band just doing the shells to fund his racing. Ill text him and see if he minds.

Not sure about the colour, but can I ask about the bodykit and how you fixed it? The black one they had at the show had very visible seams where the gap had been filled and then flexed, but yours seems quite smooth. Almost like it had been moulded like that rather than attached after?

I have only just seen your post. The 2012 price list was posted by Slimy38. It looks good value to me.

Thanks.

One point re the front shocks.

They look a little long? There appears to only be a few mm of compression left in them at that ride height?
