I thought it was time to start building a bit of a thread for my car or just general build progress and ideas I have, which will then turn into track video's as and when.
The plan for the vehicle is to create a vx220 which is as light and nimble as possible, making the car feel 'On its toes'
What I think that looks like...
800-850kg
300Bhp
Short geared
Smallest wheels possible
The car will remain road legal as I have no trailer license and I'm not affluent enough to be chucking money at carbon fibre panels everywhere.
The base car is actually a great one, in simple a nicely track prepared stage 3 supercharged Na. Re-sprayed in a custom close to Isotope green (lotus) colour.
Since ownership I have done the following;
-Removed the carpets/door cards/rear speakers/pod/stereo/dash plates
-Sold the Red leather seats & Soft top
-Fitted Tillett B6 carbon seats on custom Aluminium brackets
-Converted to Lotus 4x100 hubs
-Fitted 15" wheels and back to 288mm discs
I also have the following parts on the to do list;
-Suede Wheel 320mm & Hub
-stud conversion
-Fibreglass coupe conversion
-Lotus GT4 wing
-Quaife LSD
-4.4 Final drive
I need to get the car geo'd and in turn getting a weight for the vehicle.
And the Map on the vehicle needs some fine tuning, that should see circa 300bhp which is more than enough for me and the car. (currently sat at about 275bhp)
Car will predominantly used on track, especially Cadwell/Oulton/Donnington.
Will upload pictures when I get the chance.
