Hi Neil, its basiclly a track car. I have reworked most of the suspension points for circuits. But will have a go at the quarter.
Any news on Wul's car, when it will be ready.

Doors are only 4 bolts each. Just leaving them off for access.

Set up = normal workshop time.

That exhaust looks amazing, Ł145 is very cheap for the stainless, was that minus the silencer??? Out of interest, where did you get all the tubing from if you don't mind me asking.

Hope you're putting bumpers on the Mk3!
Even if most of the front one would have to be cut out

(you can get fibreglass ones if you're thinking of weight ).

Me thinks it is just you!

Its 3inch so has huge reserve capacity in flow. Its not going to affect egt. I do agree that smooth radius beds have greater flow capacity, but not required in this application.

I hear Rick should get your head sorted this weekend. Are we on for a race at Pod?
