Because we are base our build for both road and track use so we would like to get this build to work on the road first and later stage when we convert it to race car we will put a roll cage in.

Some update on our Titanium wheel nuts, they will soon be ready to release into the market, they are all being CNC now and in the addition we now have 2 colour to choose from.
We thought hard about how to make this wheel nut get on colour as we have enquiry about making them in gold plated but problem is how can we put the colour on without having the colour fade off after taking the wheel in/out? Anodise would be one of the option but the colour would still come off after a while. So we found the ultimate solution, this idea came from the wrist pin we are making for my own car which is in same Titanium Grade 5 but with Titanium Nitride coating to make it even more durable.
So here is the result after Titanium Nitride coating on the Titanium wheel nuts -
The colour will not come off as the coating itself is already harder than any sockets you are going to use to undo your nuts well unless you are using Titanium Nitride coated socket to undo your nuts then is a different story.
We should have more update in a few weeks time for our other own develop product for our engine use as well. So watch out this space.

Wow, that looks so neutral, you can see how comfortable you are to pick up the throttle early.
I've got to bring my car down to you. Incidentally, what sort of budget does it take to take the car to this state of tune?

Yes because that was just cruising, was the first lap at the ring with this car so I took it easy. But the car handle much the same after I pushed hard on the next few lap with just a bit of over steer on the throttle pick up which is exactly how I setup for my driving style.
To build something like this you are looking at the following for similar setup
Nitron 3 ways Coilover
Hardrace spherical bearing damper bush
Power flex bush kit
Hard race front and rear roll centre adjuster
Hard race front and rear anti bump steer kit
Hard race spherical tie rods and tie rod ends
Hard race subframe collar
Around £5k just on the parts
