New LB builder in Reading

Just for my 10 peneth

The Strato's was (and is mainly) about handling... going round corners very quickly, changing direction like a kart...a cross country pocket rocket.... I suspect that a 280 / 300 bhp Strato's will be just as quick round a tight twisty track as a 500BHP car

Now pure straight line speed is something different.... but do you want to go 130mph + in a Strato's ??....... the wheelbase geometry will make it interesting !

This man seems to know what he's talking about.
Whoever he is??

Yes indeed. Discount the opinion of the big power theorists and listen to blokes who've been driving them round for years.
In the end, you build the car you want, but if it's a toy, make sure it's one you like or it'll get left in the cupboard.....

How does resgistering the car work if it's a spaceframe chassis ?

what if I used all new parts not a donor car for example ?

the reason I ask is that I'm looking for a STR-ey personalised plate but don't know what year I should buy ?

[Guy Mayers]

I don't think it'll matter? If you use a donor you get an age related plate, if it's all new components (and you can meet emissions requirements) you should get a current plate and then it's just a matter of putting a cherished plate on it. What you can't do is try to make the car appear younger than it's registration date..

Exactly Guy. So if you are buying a personalised plate AND you end up with an age related plate on your car, make sure the personalised plate you want to transfer on to your car is from a car the same age as or older than the age related one.

is there any audio difference to having ITBs as opposed a single TB ?

pros seems to be better throttle response ? but cons are trickier to setup ?

or have I missed anything more important ?

cheers (from the ITB newbie) ... LOL

you can get more induction noise from itb's, but it depends if they are into an air box, or with more open type filtering

itb's can if done properly give more power or more torque... the length of the trumpets being important to extract the maximum
