It isn't as comfy as one that is for sure :lol:

Nitin, no the passenger seat will be a fixed back sports seat which can take a 6 point harness. Just a cheap tubular steel construction one which weighs 10-12 kg.

Yesterday 3rd Gen Steve and I test fitted my carbon spoiler and splitter. No pics of the bat wing but here is the splitter being offered up. I'll have to read the regulations to see how far I can have it protruding:

Normally think these things look stupid on anything other than pukka race cars, but that looks good! 8-) :twisted:

Are you implying I have a psedo-racecar? :lol:

The bat wing is the wing Vanzep bought and then passed on to me. I am hoping the two will have some aerodynamic benefit, not so much down force, just some stabilising for braking and the faster corners.
