This is fantastic Paul!
Only point I wouldsay Iis it looks like there is nothingunder the seat ? Given its already shown desire to maim people, it may beworth plating Iunderneath to protect?
or I may just be missing It!

Re: MR1- The Devildog project.
You're quite correct Neil, we don't have any flooring under the seat yet, we were too impatient to have a go!
There is still a small jobs list to tackle, the underfloor seat area being one of them, a better front skid plate and more bracing, along with some side protection bars and padding... lots of padding.

Re: MR1- The Devildog project.
Best we could do today on a very dusty surface and road tyres, practically impossible to get any traction so all low speed drifting about.... fun though!

Stickers, good for 20bhp.
Then i set up a couple of cones and did some 1st gear gymkhana, this is starting to become fun. It flicks about for fun, i think we built a half decent little car here!

Re: MR1- The Devildog project.
I need to get a trailer for it and take it somewhere really, our yard is too dusty and the rest of it is concrete so although it's great fun going sideways everywhere i do need to get it somewhere better.
Thinking of trailering it down to JAE, i think there is an offroad arena/area there and others can have a go if they want.

If i had the balls to max it out i'm sure it would put down pretty good times although areodynamically it sucks i bet.

Re: MR1- The Devildog project.
Nothing to update with really, we just donut it's ar$e off everyday after work for fun, found a few bolts had worked loose due to the abuse we are giving it but other than that it's performing brilliantly.
