I'm after a carbon prop as well. I all do the front cross member bushes the steering rack bushes, all 4 engine mounts if needed in poly or race spec solid, same with the rear aluminium diff mount and race spec hanger bushes all of witch I run my self and really make a big difference for a track competition car :) what you with the engine?

With regards to the CF propshaft, I know these people do them http://www.acpt.com/Products/Composite-Driveshafts.aspx but in the past I have had difficulty getting hold of them, let alone, trying to place an order.
If you have more success let me know please.

Everything that I could polybush has been done, control arms, cross-members, subframe, etc.
(I got all these from a Polish guy several years ago before you started making them - that's not to say that if I need some others I know where to come to - cheers)

Another update on the progress - engine bay and exterior now painted :D

Today I popped down to Littlehampton and picked up the last of the bits'n'pieces that were there, including the engine (unfinished).
So I now have everything at home in the garage (except the car above) for storing until I can get the funds together to complete.

Primary use will be for sprinting (TSS) and Hill Climbs
...but aiming to have it road legal to take to events and the odd blast around the countryside.

This thread seems to have dried up - is the car finished and competing now?

12 years later :shock: and it's still not finished.
Unfortunately work and life in general has got in the way.
I got everything back and, for the last 4 years, it's been sitting in my garage.
...but never say never!
