Guest XR09 Guests Posted 08/03/10 06:12 AM Share Posted 08/03/10 06:12 AM Fantastic, what a hoot. I have seen a few of these doing incredible times. Does the lid off extenuate the feeling of speed ?Trying to work out a play toy for me for next year. I am thinking of doing super sport, but something like this could be a great all rounder.

So maybe somewhere in the 1.08s I'd be happy with eventually for a road registered car at full weight.Its fantastic to drive, very pure lightweight rear wheel drive dynamics.....lots of fun.@ XR09 Yep, the roof off does and you also sit very low. Feels fantastic. Because you sit so low you can feel the car moving around and have a good idea exactly how much grip you've got to play with. This car is just for super sprints, skid pan, hill climbs and the like. No door to door racing, just fun and a hobby for me and the missus is very keen to get into super sprints too. I've had it engineered and it will stay in road trim Edited 08/03/10 06:21 AM by Erko Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66747-my-new-track-toy/#findComment-988971 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickest in racing was a 1:05.6 over the weekend as apart of the Shannons round. Good field turned up.We sell some Ultra Racing under body braces for the MX 5's, really tightens them up that little bit more.What rubber are you intending on running?

I've seen the Ultra Bracing, im getting FM Chassis Rails and also cross ladder brace (Butterfly), but I wouldnt mind the Ultra 4 point lower arm bar at some point Tyres are Kumho V70As at the moment, they are R compound and seem good so far.
