Its happening the date for the GBS Cars & Coffee is confirmed....

Saturday 26th June

We are excited to share with you all that we have now confirmed the new date for the first 2021 GBS Cars & Coffee event, which will be taking place on Saturday 26th June at GBS from 10am-2pm.

As many of you know everyone at GBS has a strong passion for cars and anything to do with motorsport and we love our Cars & Coffee events and Track Days etc. But sadly, last year (2020) and earlier this year we have not been able to host and exhibit at any events due to Covid-19.

But as the lockdown restrictions are now easing and we are slowly getting back to normality we felt now is the right time to host our popular Cars & Coffee event at GBS.

The GBS Cars & Coffee event at GBS was created in 2016 and has since been a massive success & we have continued to hold the event again for several years. Our Cars & Coffee ( & Cake) events often see our car park overflowing with many different sports cars, the event is also becoming renowned for its home made cakes!
Its an event that we have created that gives the chance for you all to have a ride out in your sports cars / meeting point and enjoy a coffee (plus biscuits/ cake of course) and chat about your cars, all are welcome to join us in any car (modern or classic including bikes).

Help us make Saturday 26th June the best GBS Cars & Coffee event yet & raise more money for two great charities…. We will be collecting for the Notts & Lincs Air Ambulance & Cancer Research.

On the day the Kit Spares shop and showroom ( www.kitspares.co.uk ) will be open 10am -1pm, with social distancing and restriction on numbers entering at one time. Please feel free to call and pre order ready to collect on the day.

We’ll be adhering to the latest Covid-19 guidelines, and will do all we can to make sure the event can go ahead safely. All the GBS team look forward to seeing you all.

*Please note this event could change due to the current Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions.

NEW PARTNERSHIP PROJECT WITH MOTUL..... The Zero Motul-Edition.

A_GBS Zero Motul Edition Logo FINAL.jpg

We are excited to announce our new partnership project with Motul and Motul UK Distributors Witham Motorsport. Motul and the Witham Motorsport have supplied us with their products for several years and we are excited to be working with them on this new  project, which will be revealed end of July at the Silverstone Classic Show who Motul are also in partnership with. 

The Zero is hand built bespoke to your individual specification and this Zero Motul Edition is certainly an example of that, the car that has been spec’d out between ourselves and Motul has some very nice unique Motul Design features that we can’t wait to share with you.   

The Zero Motul Edition will be powered by a Ford Duratec engine, specially prepared by Neil Brown Engineering, the company that provides the motive power for the UK FIA Formula 4 championship  - a series where Motul is proud to be the lubricant partner, providing the spec engine oil for all competitors.

We believe this is going to be the first car in the world to be made and run on lubricants from the same manufacturer, in this case Motul. From cutting oils to hydraulic fluids used in the manufacturing process to make all the parts, to fluids used throughout the car, including: engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, engine coolant, greases and even Witham screenwash, this will be made to a performance standard with bespoke specifications.

Also Launching immediately is a competition where enthusiasts can design the livery for this prototype car and subsequent production examples. From today, through to the end of May, anyone in the UK can download the car’s blueprint drawings as part of an official entry form on a dedicated competition webpage, which they can then design up and submit, for the chance to be part of the official unveiling as Motul’s guests at the Silverstone Classic, seeing their livery design becoming reality.

This somewhat special opportunity will see the winner receiving family passes to be Motul’s guests at Silverstone’s Classic and some great Motul gear will head the way of the winners together, of course, with the overall winner seeing their design come to life. A panel of judges, which will include some well-known names from the world of motoring, will decide on the winning entries. 

Updates on the Motul-Edition GBS Zero can be found on Motul, Witham Motorsport, GBS and related UK Social Media.
More details of the Livery Design Competition and official entry form are available here .
The Classic at Silverstone runs from the 30th of July to 1st August.

Our latest video is a short video talking through the wiring and brake line installation on a Zero chassis, there is also a walkaround video on a factory built Zero powered by a 2.5 Duratec Engine that shows some up close detail on the car. We are currently working on many other videos that we will be sharing on our YouTube Channel with you very soon, so keep checking!

Customer enjoys Hill Climb in the Zero…..

Earlier this week it was nice to receive some photographs from a GBS Customer who at the weekend enjoyed doing a Hill Climb Sprint in his Zero at Aintree, where he came third in his class.
Its great to see everything opening up again and events like these happening, we look forward to being back out on the track later in the year with you all in the Zeros.
Its our GBS Zero Run Out this Saturday (1st May) so we look forward to sharing more photos and videos with you from that next week. To join us in your Zero and to see more details please click here.

Behind the scenes of how the Zero Chassis is Powder Coated....

The Zero chassis is powder coated as a standard option on all self build kits and factory builds and is a very important part of the Zero build. The powder coating process makes the chassis and components more resilient, gives a superior finish to paint, is long lasting and hard wearing and offers excellent corrosion protection. Here we share with you more details on the process and a few behind the scenes photographs of the process in action.

AA_IMG_4840.jpg
A_IMG_4972.jpg
A_IMG_5001.jpg

Once the Zero Chassis production is complete and all the required welds are flattened off, the chassis is now ready for the Powder Coat process to begin. Here you can see the process of what happens when a Zero chassis is powder coated.
The chassis is placed in the Shot Blasting Chamber where it is blasted, the chassis is then blasted, the blasting process removes any dirt from the chassis. Then the powder is applied using static charge. This is a two stage process first being primer, and the second black satin top coat. The Chassis is then placed in the oven and heated up to 200 Degrees. This allows the powder to fuse and bond with the chassis, this process is done over a period of time. Whilst the chassis is still hot from the primer, the final top coat is applied using the same electro static process. Once again the chassis is placed back in the oven for the final time to be fully baked and hardened. Then we have a finished Powder Coated Zero Chassis ready for the build to begin.

To enhance our manufacturing capabilities here at GBS, we recently invested in Autodesk software platforms via Cadspec. We wanted to design, manufacture as much as we can in-house and this gives us a lot more flexibility on the design, options and performance, which we can then pass on to the customer.

We are pleased to say that we are really pleased and excited about the new software Autodesk as it is helping us to grow our manufacturing and engineering capabilities. On a recent component that we had in production it saved us a whole 7 minutes, which is a massive time saving.

We manufacture a full range of components in house for the Zero and other sports cars, to see more about the products that we manufacture please visit www.atrproducts.co.uk and follow us on Instagram to see more behind the scenes of what we are upto.

It was also great to be featured in the March issue of the MTD Magazine about our recent investment in Autodesk with Cadspec. We look forward to working with MTD Team again later this year and doing more track days and events together.

All of the ATR Product range is available online from Kit Spares, visit www.kitspares.co.uk to see the full product range.

BEFORE & AFTER

This 2011 GBS Zero above in orange and grey is the same Zero…. We have captured the before and after transformation to share with you.
A GBS Customer bought this Zero second hand and last summer it was with us in the GBS Workshop for some upgrades - ATR Suspension, Front Brake Set up etc. We were then pleased to have it back with us earlier this year for a full transformation which included a full factory refurb. It now has the new GBS Seats and seat belts, carbon fibre dash with smiths instruments, new exhaust silencer, LED Style Headlights and full carbon trim and full paint with stripes. The customer now has many track days and road trips planned for later in the year.

The Zero is a truly individual bespoke sports car that you can build and spec with your own options and upgrades. Click here to see more details about the Zero Self Builds and Factory Builds and click here for details about the Workshop Services that we offer.

Follow us on Instagram to see more photos of the Zeros and behind the scenes of what we are up to…. We currently have several Zeros at paint that will be back soon.

Duratec or Zetec….. Which engine option would you choose for your Zero?
The Zero is unique among Seven Type cars in having its engine mounted further back in the chassis giving much better weight distribution and balance to the car.
We currently have specific engine mounts and exhaust systems on the shelf for the following Zetec, Zetec SE, Duretec, Pinto, Ford Twin cam, CVH, XFlow, Vauxhall Redtop, Mazda, Honda S2000, Volkswagen / Audi.
In addition to these we have done many other types of engines as special instillation’s such as V6, Turbos, Motorcycle engine, Rotary engine. We are always keen to discuss your ideas and how they can be fitted into the Zero. Click here to see more details about the Zeros.
We recently presented these two nice spec Zeros to IVA and are now just waiting for the registration to come through anytime soon. The Grey Zero is powered by the 2L Ford Zetec engine on the Plenum Chamber and the Blue Zero is powered by a 2.5 Ford Duratec Engine on the popular ATR Throttle Bodies. The Ford Duratec 2.5 engine is now proving a very popular engine option and we have a full range of engine products that are suitable for the Ford Duratec Engines as well as the Zetec engine, these can be found on our parts website Kit Spares www.kitspares.co.uk or please contact us for more details.

GBS Zero Chassis.jpg

We have a very rare opportunity for someone to grab themselves a one off deal on a Zero Self Build kit available…..

Early this year we were approached by a college who has one of our Zero Self Builds kits to see if we would be able to help them, as due to COVID-19, and a tightened budget and the main member of staff who was leading the project left the college, they decided that they do not have the resources and skilled teaching staff to continue with the project. So we agreed to help them find a new home for the car.  

We now have this Zero Self Build kit back with us and its available for sale, this is a very rare opportunity and could be the ideal project for someone looking to build a Zero GT, please see the Zero Spec below-

  • Zero 2016/17 Gen1 Chassis (Ford kit spec)

  • GT wide body option

  • Lowered floor and powder coated chassis

  • BRG GRP Set with Sport Front Wings (these are marked but would paint)

  • BRG GRP Dash

GBS Cars & Coffee Saturday 27th March 2021

Our GBS Christmas Cars & Coffee event would be taking place on Saturday 12th December but unfortunately it will not be happening this year BUT we are all very much looking forward to our 2021 GBS Cars & Coffee event that will be happening on Saturday  27th March at GBS.

As many of you know everyone at GBS has a strong passion for cars and anything to do with motorsport and we love our Cars & Coffee events and Track Days etc. But sadly, this year we have not been able to host and exhibit at any events due to Covid-19. So we hope that 2021 will be a better year for us all and that our Cars & Coffee event will be able to go ahead.

We hope to make Saturday 27th March the best GBS Cars & Coffee event yet & raise more money for two great charities…. We will be collecting for the Notts & Lincs Air Ambulance & Cancer Research. We will announce more details next year, and will do all we can to make sure the event can go ahead safely, all the GBS team look forward to seeing you all.
