    suspension settings

    Think the roll bar was faulty; manufacturer left too much metal on at the ends so it was too long.

    suspension settings

    Ok, thanks. Still sorting my front anti roll bar which won't clear the wishbone :-(

    Front Roll Bar Location

    Interesting question herewith: Should the front arb be positioned above the lower wishbone, or should it be free to rotate below the line of the wishbone?

    How much is a light? Generally speaking>>> Time starts running from the moment you incurred actionable loss, i.e. when the light broke, not when you fitted the new parts.

    Haha! I think I'd just vacuum pack them and put them back in when the time comes.

    Stripping the interior

    Has anyone removed rear bench and stripped the interior? If so what how does it go? Good video here - 255 section tyres! Unfortunately for me it's all in Japanese.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhUcRkIBu0M

    Or the equivalent of an extra 8 bhp - how much is an exhaust??! Hope my maths is good

    Stripping the interior

    Cheers,Will300. You can get carbon cards also. But I'd be happy with the bare metal! At 197hp (roughly) 50 kg out increases power to weight by 6.4 bhp per tonne according to my maths.

    Stripping the interior

    Says 50 kg in the video above. Haven't measured it but since I don't use the seats and do go on tracks, it might be fun to try.

    Stripping the interior

    Yes; just above the rear window to the back! I'm sure I can get the interior out, I'm not so sure whether it's worth all the effort. Also it takes about 50 kg from the rear of the car, so it may not be properly balanced. My coilovers will adjust ride for height but it will take a lot of setting up.
