The very first test drive
So we made our very first test drive yesterday, the project is not ready yet, the bonnet is missing ( I hope I'll get one from Fabby "soon" :) ) and other things like dasboard and so on, but my brother is leaving today to Switzerlan so he wanted to drive it at any cost :)

Looking great, what a milestone to reach. :)
BMW power too :cool: Are you running that on the stock ECU ? I love the seats. ;) :) |
Shame my pc at work hasn't got sound but looking like a damn fine car that...front wings suit those wheels after all so good job I cocked up and sent wrong ones.
Bonnet very soon honest:) |
Btw, this is our "temporary" bonnet that we've made from aluminium just like the side pannels but we will put there the "original one" :). As u can see it's not ready yet as wel :).

Do u have Fabby the picture of the new bonnet that is 100% ready and in colour, in the first picture we saw, there it was in quite raw status. Bonzo: yes it is stock, no improvements or changes, it has 140HP, but we will do some engine changes to higher it a bit, at least to 160-170HP :) |
So we were testing with our yet to be ready Locost this weekend on an airport :), here are some pictures
http://picasaweb.google.sk/Longerr82...12742539419122 and some videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7ve1iCeAs0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6Oe2nZ296c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53UzDUhx7I We were the only ones with Locost :) |
On one of the videos, the sump looks quite low - how much clearance is there?
Very very nice looking car - quite an aggressive look with the bare metal and black. |
lovely, inspirational, well done
RAY:) |
Fantastic effort,very nice.:D
|
Thanks guys :), it will be all black we just didn't make it to paint it so it should be all black in the next event. The sump is very low, we are thinking about making a "dry" one because of that.
|
Any chance you could paint everything black except for the bonnet and take a pic of the car like that and then paint the bonnet black and take a pic of that? Im currently trying to decide on my paint scheme and it would make it much easier if i saw some examples :D

Pics look great mate-nice weather for a blast out! so did you beat the cayman then?!!!
|
No I diden't beat him, that drag with porsche was few weeks ago and it was a Turbo nor Cayman, so i had no chance :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BDR4mIdqdk One spin and one off the track :), i have to get used to it, but I finished 6th (no spin and no off tack), for the very beginning it not that bad :) One more where my father is driving (btw I was faster :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP7ReVSJP44 |
ah yes it was a turbo 911! sorry didnt have me specs on lol! car looks and sounds fab! wheels are bloody big!

The wheels look much bigger that they are in reality, it's 16" and that's not that big I think.
Btw. any idea guys about some type of wind-deflector, but I don't want to use glass |

You could use the Westfield Colour Chooser. Though obviously not a haynes it will give you a fair idea. |
