1stly a HUGE big up to Tony(NUTS RuS) & Martin(MEFmotorsport) for supplying the rear droplink thank you 
2ndly a Big thanks to AVA for fitting/customising everything and getting it all to work together right, fabrication of new suspension turrets(not pictured) plumbing in the brakelines making brake brackets etc etc Cheers Lads
Pic showing Brembo calipers (a la Mitsi Evo) 328mm crossdrilled and vented godspeed disk, these previously having been on the front of the car.

Cheers lads!
tonyturbo yeah that would have been right, there's been a few changes since then!
Dave as per Tim's reply it is the sensor for the speedo, I ordered the wire a little longer so the speedo could be ran off the rear wheel, means that the 0-60 1/4mile time's are as accurate as possible.
Tim cheers bud, appreciated

They are solid nylon bushes as opposed to rose joints!

Cheers for all the kind comments! Its appreciated Nigel the rear settings are as follows;
-1°25mins rear camber
+0°12mins toe
Front
-1°20mins camber
+2°40mins caster
+0°08 Toe
Nigel I believe the above to be fairly neutral settings(biased towards straightline stability), things will be tweeked a little here and there untill setup is the way i want.

Unfortunatly not Micky, I had a bit of misfortune last week and 1 of the new valves that was suplied to my engine builder failed, part of the valve head dropping into the bottom end, destroying the engine.Ive had to cancel both Croft & National Day as a result....you could say im a little gutted, but hey shit happens!
Your more than welcome to have an indepth look once its back on the road and in working order.
Andy - you still going to Croft ?
