I'm also hoping to race soon and likely to go towards tricolore. I have a friend or two interested so I may explore the MSV option too. I think you're right about requiring a novice so you'd be kicked out after your 6. But I also thought they did another level which wasn't aimed at novices and...

Is it just as simple for the mount under the battery? Sure I'll figure it out when I come to do it but might as well get a heads up to any useful tips. Got excited because @massivewangers ordered some, so @Russ_16v now has an order from me too.

This is an interesting development. Still building mine and was going to go eibachs/cup dampers, but maybe I'll consider some coilovers. Will there be some published regs soon @Tony Hunter ?

I've not seen a wreck that bad since the tinder thread got deleted.

I stick mine on the ramp after work and use the Hunter! It's pretty impressive what the kit will detect. It can be a pain to set up depending on the rims, if bits are seized it gets awkward to adjust too, so I can kinda see why it's expensive getting it done right, even though it's not...

I have no talent at all but I plan on doing a few races. Someone needs to come last... Might as well be me! Engine mounts standard I think but polybushed suspension allowed.

Was great to meet you Adam and @bob the builder! Looked like you two were having a fantastic 2nd race. Seemed to be swapping positions constantly. (I was the guy quizzing you in the paddock. Hopefully be out with you next year!) It looked like a three horse race to begin with, but Paul(?) seemed...

I have a random piece of plastic with electrical tape! My plan is to CAD something up and ask my friend to 3D print me one. Might even design in a go pro mount or something.

Front bumper grill, right side. There's a round hole and it goes through that and into the bumper structure. There should be a standard tow eye in the toolkit in the spare wheel.

I'm hoping to come along as both a spectator and a future potential!

I thought knocking when turning and pulling away was caused by driveshafts on the way out? However I could be very wrong.

Great effort and cage p**n. This thread needs a NSFW tag.

Upwards towards the roof. I just need to put a spring washer in under the eye bolt so that it ends up with the eye parallel to the tunnel. At the moment it's more like 45 degrees. I'm not too worried though as on both sides the belt load would act to tighten the bolt rather than loosen it.

@Schweppy those are the style that I used in the tunnel.

I got some smaller spreader plates from @markfishy which he recommends for use in the tunnel (it's double skinned there) and for anti submarine straps. He does a lot of race cars and said it isn't a problem at scrutineering. I'll try to grab some pictures.
