Hi Alex thanks, it's uk miles, or gallons. Very much work I'm afraid, the stryrene went though the wax and a layer of epoxy fibreglass to paint so the first mould tore up (first two pictures). Second time with foil worked fine as I did in the past. I've ran nearly out of carbon fibre and money so will use glass. I hope I get to do more this year. Wheels would be great to make, and one mould will make all four where with doors you have to mould each one and will probably be more complex
The mould is ready for one 600g roven woving layer, it's about equivalent to 400g carbon. I do have a little left but quite happy to use that for something else. I have some titanium for the exhaust.
Once everything is done I will test urban mpg, thats about 95% of my miles. The other week 60mph long distance came in at 81.6 which will be about the worst I will get. Weight will not affect this. A flat floor or vortices on the roof and tail may make a small difference
