Thanks

Won't be running the wooden gear lever, I'll let you know when it comes off. I'd prefer to sell the air con as a complete package so I'll be advertising it as such first.

Yeah I hope to get some suspension sorted in the next month or so. Yep, still plan on having a shakedown on the 20th.

Be a good idea, as you will wear the edges off the tyres pretty damn quick with the standard camber ect. Make sure you get the offset Nolathane bushes for the lower control arms to give you the required -3 degrees.

Yep :mrgreen: Definitely different to what I previously raced but it makes a great track car. Now that I have more confidence in the car I'm really looking forward to getting a "race" engine so I can mix it up a bit more with the quicker guys.
