Thanks guys. Things are coming together nicely. Thanks too for the complimnets on the paintwork. I wanted to be a bit different, so I went with the
matte paint/powdercoat.

Looking cool Chris!
Everything work OK now you can drive it for real? How's the handling? Any particular tendency to over or understeer? Do the kids like your new
toy?
Cheers
Bob
PS I never did quite catch up.... I've just started the registration process on mine, while finishing off dashboard/seating etc. &
I've just started worrying about emissions.... So - not jealous at all . .

Hi Bob:
I have yet to fully sort out the alignment. I first wanted to get the car legal; then I'll get it laser aligned. Right now, I'm running
slightly positive camber in the front and the car is pushing a bit.
I've gone over bumps that make my VW Jetta/Bora first hit the droop limit, then, upon landing, hit the bumpstops. In my se7en, I fly over the
same bump going 10MPH faster and it's like the bump wasn't there. It's pretty cool. I've also gone over train tracks at speed,
which unsettle a regular car a bit. In my se7en, it feels much more controled. I have not noticed any bumpsteer yet!
Overall, I'd say you designed quite the suspension!
