[Biff]

Hardcore

Full roll cage is on the cards just in case

I should think they would !

Niiicccceee.

maybe a bit overkill? I've been fairly restrained with with rear brakes, just Brembo 2 pots like this:




I have fully tubular subframe, arms etc already to go!

[stribo]

Wow, that thing's going to be a monster.

[Kingsford G]

Rear wheel drive V40?Nice.Fantastic work going on there mate,keep us posted.

[jdavis]

Mental! That will be a monster

When it's finally finished you should see it as I'm local to Basingstoke.

It's going to be AWD, all Evo parts. I can't take credit for the subframes though, they were bought from a company.

[M-R-P]

Looking forward to that, if you're local maybe we could have a mini meet

Seems the Vine meet is becoming more exclusive now, and only held on the terms of the south coast members.

[M-R-P]

if you think you can organise a meet that fits in with everybody's timetable then by all means go for it. I'll see if I can turn up.

you can't please everybody.

[stribo]

No, you can't, but you can be a bit more flexible than just stating dates without asking anyone if they can make it or not.

[FIREBOLT]

It'll be either the TWR S40 or my 940 if I attend any meets this year, my V40 is still in the making. One day I will be able to drive them all rather than working on them. Only just finished building my garage, least I can stay warm & dry through the winter now.

So do you have the red TWR S40 that was at the Vine a while back?

Yes that was me, I also went in the burgundy 940 before that.

That's what comes from being a northerner that owns an inferior S60 to the R
