The Fury

In the end I have chosen a Fury, from BGH Geartech, having had a look at a few, and been driven around in one I decided it was a great compromise for what I was looking for. The fury has the styling that I was looking for (Although I think the rear is better in the Phoenix.) its well priced, and it does remarkably well in the RGB series. Overall I'm a big fan of the Phoenix, and having seen a few in the flesh, I was tempted, but the lack of windscreen put me off, and its a bit smaller than the Fury too.

On the 1st of October, I placed an order for the chassis, I have decided on an IRS chassis, but with escort uprights as they are lighter, and have better caster/ackerman angles. I have chosen a freelander differential too as the ratio is better. Worst case scenario, I will revert to Sierra one if it fails. I think it should be OK though. I can also uprate it to a quaife torsen differential if needed.

For the initial order I have ordered:

• IRS Chassis with Freelander differential mountings and Escort Front end
• Crutch Straps
• A taller pedal box as my feet are too big for the standard one.
• Side Impact protection
• Lowered floor for the driver, this should mean I sit an inch lower in the car and give me better visibility, and lower COG too.
• Higher Rollover bar as I'm too tall for the current one.
• Rear Drive-shafts
• Bias bar breaking system
• Brake-lines and braided hoses

This should enable me to get the car well on its way to being a rolling chassis. Before I collect it, I will need to get some bits from a breakers yard such as drive-shafts, and hand-brake so that they can be modified.
