[quote="Gaz 88"][quote="Chip-3Door"][quote="Stavros"]what was the guys name who owned/did the car?

wasnt Steve Guirey was it?


No mate, his name was/is "Grom" (well nickname, real name graham, cant remember his surname though)


This is the car from the outside:





And this is the bonnet which you would probably remember if its the same car you are on about?:



Up the carbon fibre door cards (again proper F1 spec stuff not all the crap we get from "custom carbon" etc for our cossies etc) it had grass airbrushed onto it.

Sadly ive not got any high res pics of it cause the airbrush work was absolutely stunning in real life, real jaw dropping detail and you just cant get it in those pics, makes the engine bay look a mess but in real life it really was awesome.


Driveshafts were custom made, and were hollow


And all in a nova, i will give you £300 for it :cry: :cry: :cry:

rear turrets are tied into the cage, IMO they are there more for suspension geometry reasons than to just have it Low, reading the spec, the idea is for it to be a BTCC spec car (engine is BTCC spec and brakes), so prob explain why its so low, and front arches have been modded for clearance as well
