here's a small update whilst i was looking through the parts book to order a new front wing this caught my eye ,




Image


it's off a convertible i beleive , so for the sake of a few quid i gave it a go ,
(my test driver who has no idea what i do to the car ) said it turned in better , i did also fit a new steering rack so
it may of been a combination of both items .

cheers

Less weight over the front should help kill understeer though Jason.......good idea :) Did you ever get that cross brace that some of the guys use from the convertibles? I know Slarty bought one, it goes on the subframe I think.
