Hi Craig,

your product looks amazing and a great development on the Cobra replica! Well done to you and the team.

Can you provide more details of what is 'not' included to complete an ADR compliant registered car from the Comprehensive kit? What sort of manual will be included?

Sorry if it is still too early for these questions - but the pictures you posted will certainly get plenty of interest

Cheers

Tony

Tony, we have all the information for you. Just ask.

Major items to complete from Comprehensive Kit:

complete dressed engine with gearbox(including flywheel/clutch parts), engine wiring loom + ecu etc, exhaust(except for headers as they are supplied), interior trimming(we supply sprung base, steel frame seat frames & sliders), paint, tyres(except they are included for free for a limited time)

Build manual is 200+ full colour oem quality manual with exploded diagrams etc. Plus DVD with hi-res images etc.

We've designed the kit to be very quick and simple to build if all the standard parts are used. But still allows customers to customise the car to their own requirements if they want.

Will upload the Base Kit and Comprehensive Kit Packing Lists and post a link.

Grabbed some quick photos of a body sitting on the rolling chassis.

Chassis is sitting at 100mm ride height.

Chassis is flat floor design with bottom of oil cooler level with the bottom of the chassis.

When the vehicle is complete nothing will sit below the chassis. i.e. sump, underbody exhaust etc all sit up higher than the floor level.

We have dialled up what we think is the perfect position for tyres in the guards combined for a given ground clearance.

Tyres are 225/45/17 front, 315/35/17 rear. The front guards will get filled out a little better with 245 front(which we recommend) both width wise and diameter wise.

If you want to you can lower the car further and we have those adjustable mounting points so you can keep the suspension geometry at it's optimum.

If you run 15" wheels, the 1" larger diameter of 15's will lift the chassis height by 1/2" inch and also tuck the tyres a further 1/2" up into the guards if you use the same chassis height as the 17" wheels. But as above you can adjust suspension height.
