one thing, i just "testmounted" the trannybox "empty" on the chassi, it seems it does not "sunk" in the hole..i mean, it have a gap on 1mm or less between the tranny and chassi where the screws will be attached to hold the tranny in place, is the hole ment to be sanded down a little bit to get it down on chassi?

EDIT it was a little "left over" on the trnny side, that i missed, SO sorry!!, there aint NO problem, it is 100% fit..it is

freud 02-04-2008 07:41 PM

Ohhhhh Thomas Very Nice :woot::woot::wub:wub

Congratulation !!!!!!!!!!!

It shouldn't need trimming/filing, mine went straight in. I've not heard of the other 3 kits I know the owners of having problems either.

Are you 100% sure the tranny is together fully? May I suggest building the tranny up and screwing the motorplate etc on then have another look at how it fits. If you've still got troubles maybe you could take some measurements the hole and box bottom and I'll check everything is correct.

Thomas P 03-04-2008 04:04 AM

Wee, it was only a "left over" :D:D.. if i sometimes could OPEN my eyes..im so sorry that i ever doubted on you guys..

My misstake..

Goal for today:

Do the edges..
Mount tranny together
New rear/front arms
i will use a fanless TSPEC, il see if i can do something nice with the cables :P have an idea :D

My set-up from the euroindoorrace is on here somewhere.... if you can't find it, pm me.

Garry Driffill 03-04-2008 10:32 AM

Is the S2 now in production ? :)

Lee 03-04-2008 10:47 AM

I was wondering this as well or are these people just special?:confused:

moleman 03-04-2008 10:57 AM

For what I know Thomas isnt special, he just pre-ordered the car several months ago..

LOL, that made me laff :)

but i was wondering the same thing :confused:

Lee 03-04-2008 11:05 AM

I have just emailed jonathan, i will give you the official word when i get an answer:thumbsup:

strobe 03-04-2008 11:15 AM

I think Jonathan is working his way down the pre order list.

jimmy 03-04-2008 11:19 AM

I have to say this car looks awesome - it's only when you get that yummy carbon tub in your hands that it hits home though. I'm starting to need one :lol:

Lee 03-04-2008 12:00 PM

As promised:

The S2's you see people receiveing are pre-orders which i have now starting to deliver.

Due to the process used to make a moulded carbon fibre chassis, its not possible
to make the chassis in bulk. So i expect demand to be higher than what i can produce
at least for the next few months.



Thomas isn`t special either:thumbsup:




























I might of added the last little bit:lol:

Thomas P 03-04-2008 01:45 PM

Nope, just a regular nobody :D...i hope that i can do something this evening. Need to move on to next work..the edges is dry anyway,so some more sanding is necessary then il begin with the Tranny =). i will leave my bodys for some custom paint il hope today
