I felt the car was a little nervous in the straight ahead, almost like play in the rack, I bought new steering arms from a 4x4 from burtons and cut them down to suit but each at the same width, the old ones were slightly out, re-did the tracking and also found a little play in one of the pins on the steering arms (replaced the track rod ends) I found that the rose joints were not getting full articulation so made up some shims with a bit more room and then really tightened up the pin, re-tracked the car and now it is perfect. Very happy man today.

I took my mate for a blast up the road and he couldn't believe how quick it was. I think the 0-100 mph must be under 8 seconds. Best guess is between high 6/ 7 and low 8 but that is only using a bum dyno and comparing to other 8 second cars that I have driven. If you look at cars around the 500 bhp per ton they tend to do the sprint in about that time.
