Not really that bothered about weight on the road car. It currently weighs 712kg. I've been told 23kg for the micra frame. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

Can't believe you've abandoned the old A-Series! Is it because you've run out of variants to build? lol If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I keep looking at it and thinking the subframe colour will be ok, but I don't want to get it fully built up and then wish I had change them. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

All looks really good to me, I like the colour of the subframe better than the usual satin black

What does everybody think of the contrast? Should I change them. All the other little bits are the same colour, ie internal gear linkage, oil catch tank, etc. , Ive been putting up with orange subframes of my yellow clubman for day 1, as I originally had them done for a gunmetal grey fibreglass pickup I almost built. I hate them, but it's a full strip down and rebuild. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

i really like that colour combo..as spencer said , it looks military and proppah tech/'durability in war' type of thing. Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

If there's enough parts in that colour and it comes across as a theme it'll look spot on. Goes well with the body colour.

I think it is probably a blessing in disguise. I doubt that the powder coaters would have got a decent enough colour match so it would end up looking a little miss match, plus too much of one colour can be a bit yuk.

I really like that colour Matt, looks good as a contrast to the grey looks a lot better than black would. Matt W
