Drove her back very steady awesome is the best way to describe the ride and feel.... Just small lighting issues to sort out and then SVA! only 1yr and a half since start date... Quote

RobC Posted May 25, 2006 Author Posted May 25, 2006 I mentioned that you had had your car set up and he did say about that yeah... he still has it... I can go collect it for you if you'd like as he's only like 2 minutes down the road.. Top bloke like you say... Yeah soon I will be on the road.. just a bit of an issue with my lights.. always the hard way with me though... Quote
Peter Cox Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 and she only wieghs 581kg...! How much did she (or the earlier one) weigh before? Quote
RobC Posted May 25, 2006 Author Posted May 25, 2006 never had it weighed before... but doesn't the standard one (SEI) weigh about 680kg? I was quite shocked at the weight when Dave told me... which was nice Quote
