Re: Stuart & Lisa's MINX
Good opportunity to put in a lightweight flywheel?

Re: Stuart & Lisa's MINX
Saved $500 by simply getting flywheel machined, rather than experimenting with new lighter version.

Re: Stuart & Lisa's MINX
Almost looks like a different car in the top two photos, the car's colour is so different.
Congratulations on the class win too:

Looks good but are you trying to start an arms race with Obiki?

Re: Stuart & Lisa's MINX
Always been disappointed with factory seats.
Sit on them, not in them, too high, even on passenger side.
Sparco good feel, but way too hard for getting in out regularly.
So, in go some Lotus Elise S2 seats on NB rails, with custom fabricated brackets.
Thanks to Paul, for the seats. Ken at Accurate Suspensions fabricated beautiful strong safe brackets.
They are bit hard on your bones, but fit great and sit at great height and angle.
Enable you to feel the suspension working instead of bouncing on the seat springs.
time will tell how they go on longer trips
