[blackrex]

Picking it up from Meridian Motorsport.

Got it home and in the shed.

Unpacking.

Diffuser

Front rotors

Rims and wing supports

Power.

is that a cbr600 motor?

what category are you gonna be racing in?

looks similar to the formula SAE car im pit-crewing and building atm...

[blackrex]

Nope, it's a 08 Hayabusa motor.

Club events first to learn the car, and then hopefully I'll come up to NSW and give Neil a run, or there might even be a national series again that the car can run in.

I got wood just thinking about how this thing will go. Hope you are into training your neck as the next morning will hurt like a bitch with the G's it will pull. In fact, I'll go out on a limb here and say the car may hurt you more than you can hurt it.

that's going to be one hot little car :thumbup:

interesting brake rotor design.

[blackrex]

I'll be getting into the full on training once my knee is fully recovered, including the neck.

The rear rotors are just as funky.

That is one serious bit of kit. It will be good to see some pictures of the car once it has been fully assembled.

How quick are these compared to Neil's car?

[StealthX]

0-100 in like 2.5 secs and 1.4g cornering its exactly a soothing visit to the physio. rest assured youll need one after tho...

Nope, sold that to pay for other toys.

[dori34]

looks awesome man! anymore updates?

[blackrex]

I've made some more room in my shed... I'm still waiting on a few parts to arrive before I can really make a start on the build, mainly been cleaning and preparing parts for the last week.

[Col-GTSX]

Nope, it's a Speads RS09, Meridian are the agents for them in Australia however.
