Looks nice! How did you get that notched bend in your wing stays? I have to do that, but I'm afraid of starting without knowing what I'm
doing.

Sorry you didn't pass but sounds like you've built a pretty solid car just to fail on those bits. You can make the steering self centre
by making the wheels toe out.

Well self centring all sorted, i had the drivers side top wishbone upside down making my suspension all over the place, to much neg camber to start
with 2deg, after swapping it over and re-aligning it all as per Marks toe out settings it self centres perfectly 
Head lights all sorted, retest booked for 12th may fingers crossed

Some electrician I am, I couldn’t even wire up my head lamp bulbs lol,
The hardest bits was picking the colours, so many to choose from, and different combinations, and also putting the engine in the car single handed,
they're still f&8king heavy
Phil, have you been out in car yet, im off to the DVLA tomorrow fingers crossed to get it reg'd and im off to brands hatch June 10 for some
fun,
ps yep colin came down on his honda c90 lol

I thought they did as mac#1 cars on this forum do. I will ask on saturday, back along i did quiz colin about it but he said they were tricky to
fit.Would be cool with a quick shifter just bang it up though the gears with the right pedal flat to the floor. If you have any more photo's of
your different stage builds please put them up as they help give me some idea what to do!I am more a rider/driver than a builder but i have i friend
who is ok with the spanners.Good luck with the trackday paddock hill should be good, it is on a bike.

Spence what company you doing Brands with? I spoke to Collin today and mines looking at being completed or near on by end of next week. Wanna get some
under my belt.
Also giggsy where bouts in Dorset are ya. I got family up there and will be taking my MAC up there mid June for a few days. I'll just had a
quickshifter/flatshifter fitted.
From what Collin said. They dont seem keen on them but will fit them if asked. Ive only heard good things from drivers though so time will tell!

Yeah giggsy w/out question Im doing Nurburgring. I have already been talking about when next year with my mate who has a stripped out Pug 106 Rallye.
Not quick but a good toot!
I wont go Germany this year just want to get a few UK trackdays done first. Done about 6 on a road bike but never in a car so have no idea what to
expect.
Brands Ive done 4 times (all Indy). Great track!
My family are somerset and being that Im so lazy and always use sat nav to get to their door im not too sure where that is from you? Some great roads
out there though!
