Someone at work said he'd seen something about a newly developed race car (c/w Kawasaki engine) being manufactured in East Kilbride.
It was apparently on BBC Scotland news last night.
Anyone know anything about this ?
Cheers,

Dont know what it was but it will be getting developed at the National Engineering Laboratory in east kilbride.They have a fantastic motorsport development site up there including wind tunnels,4 wheel drive rolling roads,dynos,aerodynic set ups.
Got a tour on an open day they had,cant remember the name of the place but if anybody wants it i can take a run up and find their place again.
Well worth a visit to see the stuff they have,when we were getting the tour they were actually running in two F1 engines at the time!!

Ive been to the Place in East Kilbride too, with the Lanarkshire Car Club.
Cant remeber what their called, but i remeber the logo was a Knight from a chess set.
I'll post again if i find out.
Edit to say: Its the Kelvin Motorsport Center in East Kilbride. Some good stuff in it. When i was there they were running cylinder head simulations for a motorsport team.

Hello!
FYI - it was us on the BBC news a couple of weeks ago.
We're in Braidwood, between Lanark and Carluke, not East Kilbride. Don't know how that information was relayed! (address and contact details on our web-site)
If anyone would like to come along and say 'hi' please feel free. All we ask is that you give us a call beforehand to make sure we're in!

P.S. Anyone know the procedure for changing the cam belt on a DOHC Legacy Turbo? ('94 model year)

Thanks Steve
You'd probably be better off posting your question in the Drivetrain forum*.
