At 900kg it'd be so much fun to drive.

Looks good, and curious how you got it so light. Show us a picture of the interior and the engine compartment.

Lightweight roof, fibreglass doors, wings, bonnet and trunk lid.
All excess metal removed from the car.
Lightweight reinforced front subframe.
Lightweight seat.

Thats where most of the weight saving has come from. There is also other areas which weve concentrated on.

Wow looks like its got only the essentials.

Could you tell me where you sourced fiberglass doors?

Fibreglass doors were made by this crowd:

They are located in Ireland.

Suspension setup is a complete custom job. All arms are rose jointed. There is a custom front subframe used. Shocks are by HSD.

you can save more weight by getting some volk wheels!

Any photos of your custom sub frame? The front fenders look kind of weird...

I have a set of Kosei lightweight wheels. The ones on at the moment will do for testing.
The wings are custom made oversized by 50mm. That was because i am running very wide spacers at either side and needed a special wing to fit over the wheels.

exgr

Ohh, that's a stock subframe with a ITR style reinforcement bar... what wheel size are you running at the front? how big are the spacers?

There is a lot of mods you cant see done to that particular subframe
Spacers are 30mm either side.
Regulations limit wheel size to 195/55/15
