MHKflyer52 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Oh my!!! That makes my 1300cc xflow Locost look depressing. Russ Have to agree with the statement above as it also makes my homebuilt 7 look very depressing but I still like both of them, mine and his Cosworth Duratec Caterham. I have not seen to many Caterhams painted those colors and it looks good, only drawback I can see would be it would take even longer to get fuel as people would be all over it even more when stop anywhere.....Nice ride.....

blubarisax Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Welcome to USA7s. Your blatchat posts inspired me. Love the Sadev sequential. Have you thought about the Geartronics paddle shift kit? Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Welcome to USA7s. Your blatchat posts inspired me. Love the Sadev sequential. Have you thought about the Geartronics paddle shift kit? Karl Now I know who was the evil influence on buying your Sadev gearbox and going one up on me! Lovely car Mad Hatter! I read your post on Blatchat with the build of this. Absolutely bonkers but inspiring! In your Cadfest video - how did you mount your GoPro on the front A arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Car look great, but the exhaust looks horrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Hatter Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Karl - thanks for the welcome, i have the Geartronics flat shifter fitted, something nice and involving about using the stick Twobone - we were hitting 140+ mph, those deristricted roads are amazing Croc - Thank you, its funny i was inspired by K2 RUM there is always a special being created in someones garage.Everytime we meet up there are never two cars the same.The GoPro was mounted with the best clamp in the business a Superclamp with a ball & socket. Send me an email if you want more details Terry - The exhaust was built to do it's job and needed 2" primaries and a 3" collector so it had to come straight out, after all why restrict it. It does polish up but i prefer the rainbow colour of the stainless steel. Sounds great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
