Newest Addition (Darth)

Post by stephano »

So
As a few of you know i like a bit of Hill climbing and sprints
and have always fancied a single seater (as well as racing my mr2)

well i was minding my own business browsing through pistonheads and i saw an advert for a Jedi, just what ive always wanted! :D




So i bought it! \:D/

Image

funny how Dad thought it was a bad idea but was in it like a shot!

Image

you know its a real race car when you cant get out with the wheel on

Image

nice seat

Image

pedal box

Image

i know i know its a Honda but it does rev to 14,000rpm so.....

Image

Brakes

Image

and just a few more

Image

Image

Image

Image

got spares with it too

Image

Image

Image



so what you think?

Sooooo........

Played about with a few bits on the car getting ready for the first hill climb
needed to tighten a few bits up along with setting the toe and camber up with the new ride height.

all seemed to work ok

This is my first ever drive in a single seater and i must say EVERYONE should own one.

sooooo.....

Run the VT........... http://youtu.be/PHdltqNNFic
