Chassis
The VW Golf shell has been extensively lightend, with all removed forward of the firewall, and replaced with a custom spaceframe made by Rob at RNJMotorsport out of 4130 chromoly steel, it houses the 1g fuel cell and radiator
Covering the engine is another one off custom part, a complete 1 piece front end made out of fibreglass, with a couple of turns of the DUuz fasteners i have complete access to the whole engine bay.
The main cage inside the car was done by Jon Webster at Webster Race Engineering
Suspension is taken car of by a SPAX RSX coilover kit, set at the perfect height and damping for my kind of racing
Other features are, all windows made from lexan polycarbonate, lightweight Kirkey Race seat and TRS 5 point harnesses, single skinned doors and tailgate and reciently the car weighed in at 739kg's
