Thanks for the update, just out of interest what do you reckon it will weigh, how much horse power and what sort of times are you aiming for?

Like Jack i cant wait to see this finished and after watching it being built would love to be there when you first run it on the strip. Perhaps we could arrange a z1 owners club "trip to the strip" to lend a bit of support!

There are tons of them out there, but people just do not want to pay for " the skill ", I never have trouble getting any thing machined when I need it, cnc or manual machined.
