Chris, it's still a Soarer as far as I am concerned.

I have got pics put I am not allowed to put them up :-( They want to wait until the car is finished.

It looks better than the one in that pic, no bonnet scoop for a start. The air intake for the turbos is where the hi beams are normally. Its painted in what looks like a Ford sort of blue (like on the XR6s) and has an airbrushed version of the Griffin on the bonnet.

Trust me, its a stunner and I'll have a lots of pics of it when it gets on track!

No unfortunately Steve. I googled about for pics of the Blast Racing SC400 and none of them were wallpaper sized.

Here's a vid anyway....

It was in one of the early HPI DVD's too. Interesting seeing it up against the HKS Supra.

Chris, what shocks do you run, and what brakes, as in: rotors, calipers, pads etc.

Oh, and is the interior still stock.

Also have you lightened the car in any way?
