Well, I decided to cut up the car once more and go with a SFI 25.4 chassis, I also changed a few tubes to make it possible to go 25.1 in the future if the need arises

I cannot imagine the work and effort you have to go through to accomplish what you have done on that car in Sweden  Many of us here in the U.S. don't realize how good we have it when it comes to race cars and the supply of good parts at a reasonable cost and the lack of interference in our hobby and heavy duty(fees) and taxes on our hobbies  God bless America

But so much of what we take for granted is a major ordeal , with a matching price tag once you leave our shores.

To add to the confusion I`m a swedish speaking finn but yes, the shipping and taxes suck, the amount of work is the same where ever you live

Thanks for the nice words... the tubing is Docol R8 ,a Swedish made tube, very nice to work with and since CrMo is not anything you buy easily here it´s a real blessing for us, cheaper than moly here to.. http://www.meracing.com/tubes--ror/docol-tube-r8__1201

The manufacturers of the Rocol steel tubing had a stand at PRI, no agents in Australia are planned. It's a great looking product though.

carbon fibre is nice... the belly pan is just a sheet of aluminum, 1.5 mm i believe it was, about 2 inches high sides and around 4 inches in the back that attaches to the trans member, keeps the oil of the track, you can use some absorbing material in there but mine got sucked up in the converter and came out like snowflakes over the track... , the maintenance crew was amused..or not

I have been thinking ALOT about a diaper but with the centerlink going through the pan,,,,,,a bellypan seems like a better idea going from the radiator beck to the trans pan!!
