550Kg is very good considering. There is a guy on SKCC with a Westfield FW400 which tips the scales at 410Kg with a K Series in it.

Wasn't even aware what an FW400 was. Had to look it up and read only 10 or so made.

475kg with a target power of 250bhp, which would gives 526bhp/tonne (virtual).

I be pretty confident on trouncing you on a power per weight per pound spent figure. Bhp/Tonne/£k

Good to see you are back on the road.

Luckly BHP/Tonne/£k doesn't win races. Normally it is £K=BHP/Tonne
