Well here she is. There are a few little jobs to do. The steering column is too high at the moment so I'm going to drop that down sometime next week. A few clips and bits that Chris forgot to bring down. Haven't sorted the damn insurance out yet so can't really drive it.

It's a good point that. In my very short experience of driving it I have found out that it's not a good idea to boot it until you're absolutely straight. That is as it's set up now. However booting it, in the right circumstances, is a sublime experience.

I've found when I've been lifting the engine on a crane, that the gearbox tends to even the weight distribution out quite evenly. However thats with a B series, not the K series Z Cars use on this kit.

That really is very nice!! You must be chuffed!!

But with any high power rwd car you can't ever nail the throttle mid corner (unless you really want to face the other direction) .... steady progressive application is the key...... unless you're drifting that is

[ludsonline]

Very nice. Looks the mutts mate.

[oli79]

congrats-that looks superb you must be well chuffed
