Each to their own, but I would probably prefer a NOBLE rather than a peace prize
Greetings guys, I thought I would stick my head in here and see what goes on.
I am the builder and (part) designer of the Aeon GT2. It was primarily designed as a three seater (GT3) but I found it too cramped for my ... erm .... adequate proportions so I redesigned the chassis for two seats. The bodywork is a one off - I started with the original kit and basically changed every part to suit my choice of styling, making bucks and moulds accordingly.
Regarding the UIM comments, they were found to complicate the mapping too much and started a 'pulsing' in the power curve. I put this down to the very low weight conflicting with the original engine design which is for a car nearly three times the weight (which is often why auto boxes have so much trouble when stuck in kit cars) The engine was stripped of all the emmission friendly stuff and I got right back to basics using nothing but the crank sensor to spark up the MBE ecu. After 4 hours on the rollers I ended up with 202bhp and 180 ftlb which isn't bad on an ST24 TB - the power curve is really smooth and gives good power from tickover to redline (about 7800rpm). Anyone know where I can get my hands on an SVT TB so I can explore the full potential of a 2.5 litre?
Performance is quite good too - 0-60 is a tad over 4 seconds! but the real bonus is driveability. Around town it is really well mannered but ram the loud pedal down and she really goes!!
Great forum guys - thanks to cyrano1127 for introducing me
