Finally got all the little probs sorted out thanks to some superb advice from Stu@MSD about the electrical issues all sorted now car runs sweet :D

Have also got rid of the ridiculous rear balloon tyres (235-45-17) that where killing the handling and rubbing like hell
And also managed to sort out the Brake Bias Problem which i think have plaqued this car from when it was built

fitted same profile tyres as front (215-40-17) and put the New H&R rear springs on

And what a hugh differents totally transformed the car it doesn't twitch no more it puts the power down so much better rather than just spinning stupidly.

Anyhow heres some Fresh Pics it looks so much better in the flesh though :wink:

there was someone else on here with a similar user name to yours, 'cosworthe30' or something very similar and someone else that got in touch a while back was in the process of building one but ive only seen pics off yours.there was the guy building the 4x4 one but he gave up and sold the shell a few weeks ago,that would have been interesting winkeye .can i ask what you paid for this car,purely out of interest,or pm me with the details if you dont want it known :wink:
