Excellent job mate.

I'm sure the hard graft was all worth it - Assen looks like a great track (I was watching some Supercar Challenge races from there on the TV recently).

Thanks! It was the first time I drove the new track and had trouble finding the right lines. But I think when you get to know the track it is (will be) really nice.

I'd missed this thread until now, very nice looking car 8) Seems a bit of a shame not to compete in it after all that effort...

Kevin, Thanks for completing your thread, thats a tidy build 8) :D
2 Q's:
Did you manage 1000kg?
Why do you have covers on the rear turrets?

Keep us informed with developments :D

I haven't been able to weigh it yet, so I don't know! Still hoping for 1000kg though.

Behind the covers on the turrets I cut access holes to be able to reach the adjuster for the damper settings. On my old E30 I had to jack up the car and crawl underneath to adjust. I wanted to make live a little bit easier for myself this time around. :D

I plan to keep improving the car, so will keep on updating.

I think this qualifies as an improvement: :lol:

Since the M50 self destructed this seemed the sensible thing to do...
