Back in April Great British Sports Cars Zero went for a test at Mira using there extensive wind-tunnel and aerodynamic wind tunnel facilities. The Zero did incredibly well for a seven type car, helped by its splitter on the nose cone and diffuser. Please see video link of the Zero at Mira, we would also like to thank The Niche Vehicle Network for helping us with this opportunity.

GBS ZERO GOES FOR TESTING DOWN AT EMERALD ON THE ROLLING ROAD.............




The GBS Zero has been down to Emerald in Norfolk for testing on some new products, the Zero was fitted with the standard 2L Zetec Engine and MT75 Gearbox. We did a back to back comparison on the same Zero with the Jenvey Throttle Bodies and the New GBS Plenum Chamber that we have just launched. The results exceeded all expectations for the GBS Plenum making it an extremely good option, the results were the Jenveys produced 176bhp at 6756rpm and 157.8lbft at 5205rpm the GBS Plenum produced 166bhp at 6509rpm and 143lbft at 5388rpm.
The plenum offers an extremely smooth torque curve and drives extremely well. To see the new GBS Plenum and a full range of parts please visit www.kitspares.co.uk

Also at the weekend we delivered 2 Zero kits to Jamie Rushbrook and Paul Macnamara both in the London area.
