590 ftlb though, at low revs that is bonkers. It looks an odd graph but to me torque is the secret to a good road car

I have finished my bladed arb extensions on the lathe this weekend, will try them in primer and then have them powder coated next week.
I picked my daughter up from school on Friday in it, she does giggle when I floor it.

Mate, you need to get out in it more. They do drive nicely on a 6 degree don't they. What more do you need on the mapping?

I think I want to still hold over 530bhp so if we need to cap it at 2.2 to keep that through the rev range then maybe that is the way to go...possibly easier to sell 2.2 as well. I like the ideas of 580bhp on 7670 but want max torque as low as we can and throttle response so the turbo will be the driver as to spec as we won't have room for more and don't want lag.

Mark Walker sent me a pic of the rear anti roll bar today and I noted that in his pics the flats of the blades were upright but I have my front ones the other way around with the flats pointing side to side, it has not dawned on me that this is how you adjust the roll stiffness (if that is the correct term) of the bladed bar...Mark explained it well by saying that you think of it like a plastic ruler, flat pointing up is full soft and flat to the side is full stiff....my car has been running in full stiff (a bit like me after a lap dance)

Yes Toby you rotate them to make them flex. Saves swapping for an increased diameter, you just twist them.

The rest of the side badges from Monster Dave, he has really worked hard on these for me.

Anembo motorsport sell them too and I think MT Motorsport may have some options too as he often breaks WRC cars.

I bought them from Mark at MK motorsport, they are part of a kit but I think you can buy any bits you want. MK is on sales@mkmotorsport.com

Thanks, I think he has done a brilliant job, I just sent him a load of pics off the net of stuff I thought would suit the car and he just designed it in one hit.

Today I rotated the front blades to full soft on the arb, now the car feels very impressive, it is so fast to change direction with loads of feed back.
I will now try some softer springs and corner weight soon. I will add a bladed rear arb soon.
Took if for a blast and it is just bonkers the way it accelerates, love it.
Starting the parcel shelf build this weekend to trim out the rear before going for carpet.
I have also spoken to image alloys as I may get a bespoke set of dimma 16 inch split rims so that I can get 8's all round in et32 to suit.

I need to do some calcs on the online sites as I think I may need to stick to 7 or 7.5 inch up front and 8 x16 et32 on rear therefore I need to find the same rolling measurement across both tyre sizes to avoid winding up the centre diff.
I want 225 or wider on rear.
I tried 8x16 et25 but it looks like a rollerscate imo.
If I go et32 up front I think the wheel or tyre may rub the arb on the front.

softer springs ordered, will be here this week. (Thanks to Jonfoc for the sourcing and spec plus help from MK)
Bladed Rear ARB ordered will be here next week (ordered from MK) will need to fit it then send main beam off for powder coating with a few other bits.
Measuring up for the Dimma wheels
Carpet has arrived for the parcel shelf.

Cutch, I am pretty certain that those prices above are for the Normally Aspirated head, the Turbo one was cheaper IIRC...Might be worth speaking to them first or call Mark Shead as I think he has had recent dealings with them.
