    cram as much padding in with you as possible! Especially around your hips , you hitting the interior is where you'll get injuries..

      We run a very snug race seat in the car which came out of an old formula Ford which I modified to fit the Jedi chassis. We don’t get any movement at all around the hips. There is a small amount of very thin padding which we sit on to take out the harshness of some of the bumps at venues but not too much to remove the feeling of what the car is doing beneath me.

      Do you build the chassis yourselves ?
      I'll be testing an experimental power plant in the near future & having to build it a chassis like your car but sub 200kg😬...its not for racing just proof of concept / something to show the masses so it doesn't need to be race strong 👍

      @@TheCraigy83 the chassis is 27 years old this year. The car came from the manufacturer Jedi Racing Cars and was a works car fitted originally with a 2 stroke motor. We’ve got it down to 300kgs still using a good amount of the original parts, we could drop the weight off a bit more by swapping all the panels with carbon fibre and change the steel dampers with much lighter aluminium ones. I’ve had the car down to bare chassis a couple of times when we’ve had to refresh and have modifications done when swapping from the Honda CBR to the Suzuki. 200kgs Is mega light, that should fly. Very interested in the new power plant you will be using.

    sounds great. What gearbox do you use?

      Oh and is it semi automatic?

      Thanks, the gearbox is still the original gsxs 1000 motorbike gearbox. It is sequential so push to go down the gearbox and pull the gearstick to go up. We have a flatshift fitted which allows me to keep my foot on the throttle and pull the gearstick and it cuts the spark briefly and allows the engine to shift without the clutch going up.
