hi mate, its not a subwoofer.. its a cover for the fuel gauge sender unit. All of the sound system has been removed to save weight.

Hi mate, at the early stages at beggining of this year it was rolling roaded at 180bhp, but since then it has increased to just over 200bhp. The good thing about these cars is the power to weight ratio! Most cars with lots of power are quite heavy and this slows them down. This one is seriously light weight, less than 800kg! It only has a drivers seat and not much else inside at the moment. I'll fit a cage sometime soon tho. With that kinda weight saving it moves the power per ton up to over 250bhp.. I have recorded a 0-60 in 5.2 secs using a performance meter and hoping to improve this with a few more trick bits I have waiting to go on her soon.

I have some pics of the parts I have here but havent yet had time to fit... I'll post a few pics later, but with these extra bits it will improve the performance even further... its a great little car and even pops out flames when its on a mission!

Its getting there
