The norris evo with its skyline box (shh its a secret)
Got reminded by mention of evo's in the post about martins cossie at coombe, anyone know what's happening with the steering rack and steering arms on the norris evo to allow it to sit with the transverse engien on its new skyline box setup, as ive not seen anything posted online about it yet?

Potentially a good way to ruin the dynamics of the car if its not done right of course but obvioulsy Simon's not exactly building it on a budget so Im sure Hauser will have enough scope to get it spot on.
Should cure his problems coming off the line consistantly hopefully

Yeah it will be interesting to see how he goes about doing that but personally its the steering side of it im looking forward to seeing how he tackles as surely the rack will have to be moved and hence the front struts will need new steering arms etc?
Not like he can just swap them side to side to bring the arms forward as it would horrifically alter the ackerman angles if he does that.

I thought he was keeping this a secret.
Anyhow, its obv possible to do it and do it good, as JUN have already done it.
Someone dig up the thread I started, gay PF search means I cant find it
I posted hundreds of pics of it.

I assume that March figure isnt much to do with how long Hauser take to do the skyline conversion and is far more about other stuff he is doing as well?
Going to be a properly fruity car at the end of this, cant wait to see it go, it was mental enough to begin with!
