Vehicle Description
Although considered a replica car, this fun machine has high
quality body work consisting of fiberglass and aluminum.
The interior is very well put together and is all about function
over creature comforts. VDO gauges mounted on the carbon fiber
dashboard keep the driver informed of vital information, an Aces
sequential shift system relays optimum shift points, and Willans
harnesses keep driver and passenger strapped in for the
smile-inducing ride. Another interesting side note is that the
seats do not move, but instead the pedals move forward and back
with an adjustment knob under the dashboard. This car has side
"windows" that can be slid up or down and a top that can be used to
cover the whole cabin or used as a t-top configuration. You can
always take the doors off completely too if you really want that
open feel.
The suspension on this little car is impressive. The front setup
consists of double wishbone control arms, castor and kingpin angle
adjustment, machined billet aluminum uprights, independent camber
adjustability, and adjustable coil over units. The rear suspension
components are trailing arms with a live axle. The vehicle ride
comfort is very nice especially if you take into consideration how
light this car is. Providing excellent stopping power are Wilwood
vented discs with 4 piston calipers on the front of the car while
solid discs with 4 piston calipers can be found on the rear of the
car.
Under the bonnet is a snappy 2.0L 16V Ford Zetec engine with gear
selection done with a precise short throw shifter. The engine has
Weber Type 2360 ITB's and Webcon Alpha Fuel Injection.
These cars are perennially track day favorites; they handle great,
are rev happy, and are just plain fun to drive!
