the 306 is a wider beam than the 309, and wont fit mine.
when you see my car, you will notice i have ZERO room for a wider beam..lol, but it does look cool
and wide at the rear
i think the 309 at 20 and 21??? though i'd have to check.

I think 309 is 21 torsion Bar and I think 306 is 21mm. will find out soon, Might just rebuild it with standard torsion bar and try it and then uprgade it it feels sloppy on track. not sure!

cheers for that, Something like this I wouldn't make as its not worth the set up time, easier to buy something proven I want to enjoy this car.

my 205 with the same engine passes a 306 fairly easy

Failing that I might make my own shifter but uses very good quality push/pull stainless cables so that I can maintain some bushing on the engine.
with my limited track experience, i sure you'll be fine
I'll be quicker in reverse!

finally got back to working on the car after a xmas break, well work on the house
not much, progress but really happy that all the fuel fittings in the car are now finished and it's just the engine bay fuel system that needs doing
both pumps are wired up now with their own fuse and relay's
hopefully more done this weekend

The harsh snatching and torque steer, if you had this when acclerating hard out of a apex, dissapeared altogether on mine.
Leaves the car feeling alot more controlable and smoother when power comes in. Good for around 400hp in a fwd application too..
il give that a test this year
