Lightspeed, if that is the case then it should shave a couple of kgs of each side.
Lightspeed, did you ever find the source of that rattle?

"maybe poorly engineered and executed should have been substituted for production...?"
I must say that I totally agree with this.
Mine was an early 2013 and although I got a lot of pleasure driving the car and attending numerous MTWC rallies since then, I have now sold the car after having most of the upgrades done and a few additional mods of my own.
I would define ownership as a roller coaster of elation and disappointment.
Elation:- From the absolute pleasure of driving it and the total camaraderie with fellow owners and club members.
Disappointment:- With the lack of proper development before launch, poor choice of materials and/or design (i.e. rear sprockets and chassis tubes and many other points too numerous to mention) and the failure to live up to expectations for a car costing this amount of money.
You need an incredible amount of patience and deep pockets to own one of these.

No, never found what is making the rattle. With the nvh removed and Stage 2 installed the ability to ease off the clutch at idle has reduced the noise considerably. I plan on doing a preemptive strike and installing the a Bleazey Compensator Conversion so i can change the rollers without removing the engine when i am not prepared to fo so. At that time i will really checkout the clutch for chatter markes.

Changed my order and grabbed chassis no.29. Apart from the fact I think its flipping fab it means I only have two colours to choose from. Well only one actually Black with razzle dazzle decals or Silver with Race decals...where's that lucky coin 🤔
