Firstly I want to thank everyone that Derek and myself managed to catch up with over the Speedshow weekend, it was great to hear all the positive feed back, despite what is going on behind the scenes and of course there will always be the hater's, and to be honest we have got bigger and better things to worry about than Joe Blogs sticking his/hers two cents worth in, just cause thay can.
We had a pretty big push over the last two weeks to get the #001X chassis looking like it did just to make it to the Speedshow, so i want to thank the MRX team, Curtis, Blair, Verdene and Stew, Kendyl at Xtreme RPM, Allen at Endevour Engineering, Tom's Auto Body Shop and Andrew at AWS graphics for their help and support. So time for some info on the new car.
One MRX chassis design for Holden and Ford
MRX designed and built space frame chassis
Fabricated front uprights with chromoly arms
3 link, fabricated 9" diff housing with alloy drive head, cambered floating hubs and spindles
Performance Friction brake package (carried over from existing car)
Penske adjustable shocks
Adjustable sway bars front and rear, cockpit adjustable
Adjustable watts link for rear roll centre adjustment
Air jacks (as standard)
Engine TBA
Gearbox TBC (looking at Quaife 6 speed)
And the best bit, entirely Kiwi designed, built and supplied.
If anyone has question regarding our part of the new NZV8 car don't hesitate to ask. (i'll do my best to answer). Check out the NZV8 photo album for a few build shots.
Cheers
Nick, MRX shop Manager.
You did your very best even when you were pressured in assembling this car. To all your hard work, I'd say you've done pretty good seeing it in the photo above.

That car's pretty cool! Those two weeks of making that chassis look perfect for the show were definitely worth it. Good job, guys! Looking forward to hearing about the other specs too.

It's kinda thrilling to see what the other specs are, especially those engine specs. Judging by how the car looks, the engine could be as powerful as one that could give any car a 0-60mph record in less than four seconds.

Never mind the haters, it's their problem not yours. I see your car's composed of such amazing parts.

You did a good work on that project. I confess, I'm a little jealous about it.
