congratulations dude! this all looks like a lot of fun! you must be well chuffed.

no. russ is saying that budgets will lock up easier due to lower grip. better tyres will grip more and lock up later. considering that the wheels are already locking easily, i'd say that uprating braking components is probably a waste of time, why do you need more braking power? still check...

probably not as much as you think, they have all the casings and internals there already. try phoning them and asking? you never know :approve:

from this it sounds like the front is much harder then the back?

i wondered when you would find this. do you know the reason for the rates on carlos' car? also, did you manage to do that posting? they have been asking about their bits again :D

cool, cheers Phill. nice to know that i am thinking along the right lines. i have also always thought that a well setup car actually feels slower then one which is badly setup. i.e. less energy is dissapated and you feel that you are thrown about less inside the car. this is all something...

i would say yes in this instance, because of the different mounting point. in the road setup you effectively have the wheel on the end of a lever. if i had the measurements i could probably calculate the effective difference in the spring rates (given enough time)

Why rear much harder than front when the race cars the other way around? it just seems to be the most balanced setup, i've tried it every which way and it just seems best to me. possibly the fact of the different rear setup might have something to do with it. with the seperate spring and...

i'm also interested to read what phill has to say regarding suspension setup. especially regarding height, it is my understanding that the ideal height has more to do with the mounting points and wishbones than the apperance of the car. from what i understand, the most neutral setup will have...

no, they are still a seperate spring and damper on the rear.

i may head over for this, just depends when..

gutted! that would have been epic.. mind you, the build must be half the fun of it. i wish i had the knowhow to be building my car. i may have to get in touch with you about the blower setup, i'll have no aircon when i get mine back from fred.

great work!! i'll look forward to seeing this one spinning :rasp: out of interest, why aren't you using tony's old cup car?

it should be track only. but it will be road legal, so i can see it getting a fair bit of use. the engine should be absolutely awesome!! i'll let you know when it is finished if you want to have a go :D

i'd vote for the kw stuff as well, it is my kit that daniel is talking about. http://www.kw-suspension.com/us/kw_competition.php http://www.kw-suspension.co.uk/competition/products.php?vid=175 again, far from cheap!! but as said, it is on another level compared to anything else that i have...

pint sir? :approve:

that was a lucky find! i've been keeping an look out for one of these for ages.

and ignores the points that people raise, but jumps on something with a tenous link to the topic?

you mean to transport i take it? you should be able to, i had one in the back of my clio fastened to the cage :cool:

there are a few people with omp cages on here, you have to fabricate a mount for the feet of the main hoop, but otherwise they are pretty good for the price.

definately get in touch with fred. although be prepared for him to find a load of problems you didn't know about, but that is why he has my car at the moment :approve: as for the knocking noise, a common cause is the dogbone mount under the engine.

definately not! i was meaning useful for the ps :o

pretty much what i thought to be honest. i've certainly no need for it anyway ;)

so they are pretty much useless? or is it possible to build a manifold to take the injectors?

i'm not sure, i think there is someone on here who is or was running blackbird itb's. possibly hutchy?

that's right, also probably for a small weight saving too. you would only be able to use the covers on track though, so if you were wanting to drive to and from a track there would be a fair bit of messing about.

as bazzon has said, it will all depend on the actual condition. if the engine belongs to who i think it does, it could be worth doing a search on here.

the covers replace the whole headlight.

isn't that danlp6?
