    Another N00b

    Hi found this forum today while browsing...

    My Name is Mark, I am 40 yrs old, and have just purchased my 3rd Ford...

    Have had a few company cars, but dont count those...

    My first was a 1966 Ford Anglia Super Highly tuned 1500 with twin 40's

    The next was a 1974 Capri 2.0GT Auto which sadly turned to cornflakes

    The latest is a written off sierra sapphire cosworth 2wd which is donating parts to build an Marc Norden Racing Vort-X RT+ (lotus 7 replica)...

    The MNR is an ultra light 7 using Lightweight front uprights, billet 4 pot calipers and steel disks to keep the unsprung weight down..

    Hoping to achieve a sub 500kg build, and 350-400Bhp...

    That should make it a fun track day tool
