Quite an impressive track record if you read all the way to the bottom.

I wonder how you'd go with torsion and beam testing? I've heard that various US-sourced Cobra kits have problems in this area.

There was definately someone that popped up here a while back who was building an Ultima - I think he might have been down Canberra way.
Awesome car, but I would go for the RCR over one. Surely there is not much difference in overall price, and it would be good to have Aussie support.

There was, or maybe still is one in Canberra. He is mates with a Caltex proprieter I know.
I can try and track him down if you like.

the engineering on the ultima is second to none, and it does ofcourse hold a number of world speed records.
the gelcoat is the best I have ever seen - not a blemish, looks like paint. they also have a healthy export wing. id suggest you give them a call to discuss.

That's what attracted me to the Ultima. It's proven and when I have an 'Off' I want a steel chassis. Ultima have been around a long time. I've found one locally so will go and see it. I have a few friends that are also interested so we may do a bulk buy.
The other thing I like about Ultima is you can buy any stage of the kit you like. I'll get the basics first then buy more as I can afford it. 20k Australian buys you a basic roller. I source most of my own parts as kit supplier stuff is never really what you want.
I can't see any rego issues with the Ultima and I'll torsion test it if required ( I have the equipement available to test any chassis). The Brits build the best kitcars in the world IMHO and the best fibreglass. Hopefully I fit in one.

You mean...."the one Dick tried to drive but had trouble keeping it out off the roadside bushland"...
Apparently he was trying to avoid a large rock in the middle of the road..  ..FLASHBACK DICKY???

That's the yellow car that back flipped open because he forgot to do up the clips??
I don't think he had any success with it.
