Is progressing, i got the wheels on last night, and whilst the rear ones are held on by the handbrake (No driveshafts yet)

I'm pleased (and quietly amazed) that everything fits together - I have some abominations of metric/imperial fittings going on, but its positively badass. (IMHO of course)

Grinning like a chessire cat today.

Nice, but your shockers are upside-down.

if its good for caterham.....



(joke, they use special shocks to run that way)

The orange colour look very nice.

I am also interested in the Fury and am thinking about building a second car, so if you don't mind I'll keep a look out on your build blog.

Much easier to adjust if they are the other way up

Looks good.
The chassis on the furys look very substantial, what would the weight be of one of these fitted with a R1 engine be?

Mine came in at 458kg with a full tank of fuel and tools on board at SVA. I suspect its slightly higher than that though...but the SVA scales had only been calibrated the previous day so it's possible. I've also got a few trick bits on (Wilwoods all round, Freelander diff' which helps.

Looks good although it looks abit like an off roader in that pic

The fury is going to be a relatively heavy BEC. I'm aiming for 450kg wet. I suspect it may be nearer 500.

Then again, I will have a heater (1.2kg for the matrix/fan, 800grams for the additional water, and another 1.6kg for the pipework.) reverse box, etc. It all adds up.

But to compensate, a freelander diff, wilwoods all round, alloy hubs, its going to be hard work to keep the weight down though. I'll need to lay of the pies too

My mate's blade engined fury with full screen and full weight body is 485kg. If you go for the light weight body it'll save another 15kgs. I think 450-460kgs is plausible. I think the racers get down to c420kgs.

i would put the shocks the right way up and take the wheels off until you drop in on the floor.

"...a relatively heavy BEC. I'm aiming for 450kg wet."

Thats not heavy! Anything less than that is light, but 600kg is heavy for a BEC not 450.
