The car is back together and on the road again. I have set the ride height quite high at the moment and will drop that tomorrow. I have set the geometry totally by eye to get it running and just made sure that everything is the same measurement each side. The tracking is also out. I ran it round the block to check for issues and it drives really nicely even with the geometry out.

I am glad to say that the vibration is now cured so the new engine mount and raising the engine 10mm did the trick.
The billet hubs and wrc set up went together really easily, I am just waiting on MK to deliver the front anti roll bar mounts and 6 degree rear beam. I am hoping I can get a rear ARB in there too, then I can soften the spring rates.

I had two new tyres on the back with zero miles of them, I gave it some beans in second gear and the car went very sideways (I expect the geometry did not help) but it is all very controllable despite being 24 CM shorter wheel base than a sapphire.

Very pleased with the new front end, no noises either. I am looking forward to putting a load of miles on it now and fine tuning it.

I had forgotten just how scary quick it was!

I am going to get a mate of Stuart Days to come over and do a full geometry set up once the new bean is in but for now I will take it to my mate with a hunter laser system and get the front all dialled in, it has too much camber at the moment but this is so easy to adjust on the MK front end.
