	Another newbie here Someone on the ocuk forums suggested that you might like to see the Gooon over here, so here it is Last January myself and Jason decided to update the old bus Jan 2006 The old trailer was looking a bit sorry for itself So a couple of weeks of intensive trailer surgery commenced Meanwhile the car was stripped and painted And finally after 12months its running again, still a lot to do but hopefully it'll be completed within the next couple of weeks So what do you think ;D

	Welcome ratty! Looks like a proper weapon, good work! What sort of power do you get with those twin SU's? Looks like a nice set-up

	Car weights 750kg and engine makes around 250bhp which gives around 330bhp per tonne Running AP 4 pots and 300mm discs Leda suspension with 600lb and 900lf springs so the ride is a little firm

	Wow cool, thats exceptionally light, and a good dose of power which, like you say, translates to a very healthy BHP per tonne! Bet its an absolute riot on the track

	Where abouts are you located? Me and my dad picked up a caravan chassis from a very similar looking property with a very similar looking white Maestro a few years ago. Probably not you though.

	Bloody love it, Meastro Turbo kick and the exhaust looks proper rally slag coming out the middle of the bumper! Sorry only one point of critism, I personally would have kept it white.

	Some good, some bad, some other news The Good The Bright Red Cobra Monaco seats have arrived Got to collect the harnesses this week The steel arrives to make the seat frames on Friday The Bad It failed the noise test so the exhaust needs an extra silencer One of the carbs has failed and needs rebuilding again The Other The Megasquirt ECU is all built Edis and coil pack sourced So the plan now is to swap to a single carb for March 10th (due to tiime and money) with MS and edis for ignition until the throttle bodies are ready to fit
