The front strut braces are complete. To match the rear strut braces I'm really happy with the result. Powder coated in heat resistant paint in gunmetal paint. I have 7 left from the first manufacture order. Here is a link to where you can get them from my website. For international orders (non UK) t...

I'm thinking of trying to rig up a force gauge into a test bar to see the forces travelling through the bar when installed. And run the same test when placed adjacent to the mounting points as a control. This should indicate the functionality of the brace. I hate being a scientist sometimes! I just ...

Thanks Mike. I hope it does well. I have experienced some good results with the upper brace.
I am looking to do a lower brace too at some point. But that will take a bit more development.
I really enjoyed reading your article on handling. Very comprehensive.

I have designed and manufactured a rear upper strut bar for the Z3 and Z3M roadster. Some of you may have been following its development in other threads. But I have had it fitted to my 3.0 for a while and noticed significant improvement in cornering feedback. And a reduction in the loose feeling of...

I met up with one of my Bertini customers and his recently finished red GT25. Also my recently completed black Bertini for a few photos with my new camera.

Had a great day at brands hatch with the Bertini GT25. It performed really well keeping up with most of the more track focused westfields etc. Very very wet and loads of tail happy fun! http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc485/aaecherry/287AB3A3-C4D6-4724-8C4C-EF47C6A77E43.jpg http://i1214.photobuc...

It's been a pretty busy summer. But I have finished editing the donington show build video. It shows the guys from Complete Kit Car Magazine building a Bertini for the first time.

i would prefer pick-up of all the items
but i can organise postage of the smaller things like lights and grills.

i guess a pair of lights will be £15 postage
and side grills £10 postage

does that sound reasonable?
i dont mind if people want to arrange their own courier to pick the items up from me.

sorry I have them sprayed up and on the Bertini - if i decide i dont like them i will let you know.

Carbon fibre would be really expensive. For track it would be best to totally strip the Z3 and I could provide a single skin kit that would shed loads of weight. Plus removing lights and the heavy seats etc.

The whole front lifts up with the lights from the original hinges.

It drives really well. I suspect it's only around 40-50kg lighter. I'm getting the full strong strutt system fitted soon. So u will see if there are any improvements from that.
