I did the Diy stuff on my dash. Not that good, turned out very patchy. It's worth spending the money to get it done properly.

Mine was boiling up and chucking the water out. It turned out to be the the expansion tank cap.

I will try that next time, I noticed they seem to go off over 30psi last time

Cool mate, that sounds really positive. I'm going to have play around with a few settings this time when I get it on track next to see what affect they have on the handling.

Ok,thanks mate, I'll keep a eye out for a used set. It's taken enough of my money for now so I'm going to do a few track days and see how I like it. If not I might just break it next year and buy a used caterham race car.

That's why I've got a roll cage on order now :-)

This is from ktecs website for the newer full coilover kit, not sure if they are the same rate as mine though. Front spring rates are 342lbs, rear spring rates are 228lbs

Cheers mate. The wishbones look better but the whole thing looks so high now, it will be interesting to see the difference it makes. It's got the half coilover spax kit with adjustable dampers. I might look into changing to a full coilover set up later on because I don't like the rear spring set...

I have now raised the whole car up. The front took quite a lot of winding to make any noticeable difference. The wishbones and driveshafts now look to me to be at a more suitable angle. Measuring from the sill there is a 25mm rake although it doesn't look it in the photos. Front camber -2.25...

£220 quid a year road tax, how come?

Some helpful advice mate, cheers I might not go as extreme as 3 negative camber then as most of my track days are likely to be through the winter when it's cold and wet. No offence taken fellar, I'm fairly clued up when it comes to all things covered in oil and grease but I've had no...

Just seen your your roll centre kit in the group buy section mate. I understand now, looks like a good kit.

Cheers northloopcup, you seemed to sum it all up there. I wish I did a bit more research before I built it, I didn't know the cup wishbones were different at the time. I have to prioritise what I'm going to spend money on next with this car it's already 3 times over the original budget so...

No, I had no problems at all. I don't remember it being that low when I set it up. Maybe the suspension has settled? Am I right in saying that the top of the wishbones should be horizontal?

Here you go, some shots of the front wishbones, my drives a bit pissed so I guess that's why one is higher than the other.
