Let the hate start...

You going for a flat floor look?

 

I'll keep an eye on this

 

Be interesting to see if you can feel any difference on track. Are those fog light holes pipe lined to the brakes?

 

What you going to cover it with? If your feeling flush you could get some carbon cloth and epoxy and cover it.

 

Very top gear me thinks and we know what happened to that

 

Well I never knew that dan,

 

We'll you learn something every day I thought it would have been made with carbon

 

Erm might be cheap cos they always get broken

 

I would have thought fiberglass.. is plywood light or have they lightened it by carving out those holes?

 

Tuning by Homebase and B&Q

 

Why are they using that material ? is it in the rules and regs ? F1 cars have ( or had ! ) wooden boards bolted to the underside to stop them going too low ..

 

Well if its good enough for the BTCC. No wait , who am I kidding. At least carbon wrap it man !

 

You could spray it black and nobody would know.
I think the point regarding breakage is valid. They must get smashed all the time in the BTCC.

 

Yep just needs finishing off with an electric plain while its fitted

 

To be fair ply is pretty dam strong stuff

 

The chap who started up Stealth Sport a few years back in the Clio game. Nice car but my god could he talk your ear off. Needless to say the company lasted 10 minutes...

 

I suppose using ply makes complete sense especially as its relatively light and extremely cheap compared to making a plastic, fiberglass or carbon fibre equivalent... I suppose people mention motorsport and automatically we think big budgets.. cutting edge technology... (no pun intended)

 

To be honest it's function over form so if it works and it's gonna be used on track then why not.

As said, if it's finished off in black it'd looks the part. You could spray it with Plastidip I guess and no one would tell.

 

because racecar....

 

I can see one of these being fitted to the SHEEP very soon

 

What's the sheep mate?

 

What's the SHEEP, you'll get shot for not knowing what the SHEEP is , my mate will be having a dicky fit right now , I'll get my mate to put some pics up of it, but be warned, you'll want it.
Reason it's called the sheep is he wanted to get in a couple of pictures and as its black we wouldn't let him , youll get the picture when you see it.

 

Never heard of it mate. Mines black as well maybe I'll meet it on the track soon and battle it out...

 

This is how you do it boys
