Default A busy Sunday...shims fitted

....only just put these on...they basically go on the rear hubs inbetween that and the brake shield...you can visabaly see from the picture that when correctly fitted the bottom of the wheel is now sitting in rather than out...A cosworth squats on accelaration and the wheels try to do the splits which gives less tyre coverage on the road ...now when it accelarates you get much more tyre contact which equals grip...it basically is a poor mans grp a rear beam!!! ....add the caravan spring assistors and it can only squat so much again getting more tyre on the road......its really as far as you can sensibly go for traction...i run 235 rears and on a ET35 you have no arch mods to do.


Also had an interior rethink...boost gauge now moved to where i can see it and SECS moved to original location with a nice carpet surround as the moniter isnt a saff version! ......Gettin functional now.
