MATE, you know too well how horrible this course is. the maths is disgusting, makes me feel physically sick.

Looks unique bud, flows nice. It will look sweet in powder. A quick look at the IVA manual states nothing much about roll bars? I don't think a vehicle has to have one, and also there's no rules to minimum height. Exterior projections, and seatbelt height seem to be the only issues that may affect it, and tbh, looks like you've got it covered.  |

Looks nice, but there is not real protection if the
Car should roll over other than your head.
I know IVA manual is a bit vague but it may be worth
While asking RTR just to clarify. I know they have done
a single hoop design before on a yellow car.
Would be a shame To put that nice powder coat on and
then have to Change something.

Looking forward to the hoop design following the scoop, it looks very good so far.

right, here we go, after months of deciding and waiting, a lot more expense than expected. its done (at last). ive been running round like a lunatic all day, but it was finished at about 2.15, loaded in the van with the help of 2 pals who pulled out blind on a sunday to help me out. and driven to halifax to the powdercoaters. i think it looks the bollox, might not be everybodys cuppa tea, but its a one off and i like it. deffo different. cant wait to see it with colour now.. 2 weeks till im home again to pick it up..   some well integrated JHM product placement there James ;D.. thats the guy who is currently making his engine magic happen..    honest thoughts?? |

Looks nice Paul. Should look the nutz when paint is on.
Very different from the usual Rocket back section.
Do you think that the rigidity will still be there without the angled
brace sections most of us have from the roll bar to the engine bay
sides especially with the power you are looking to achieve and the
forces exerted when turning heavily, ie possible track use.

yes because its gained forwards, its only the new ones braced both ways, if it goes over as long as i survive, i wont really care about the damage. sounds harsh, but you get me, im a realist doing my job (and you too in yours i suppose)

Thats looks awesome, more like a F1 vehicle and the scoop likes great too. Its will look even better once it has some colour on, when will you get it back from the powdercoaters so we can see it in colour?
