Nothing to do with all the weight you've taken out of the back Trev?
They are supposed to enjoy a little rear end fun and games anyway are nt they?

probably the rear compensators - however I have to say I've never managed to lock up the rears on it - it's your man foot on the brake

its only the passenger side rear thats locking and it does it really easily and wants to spin you, it pulls to the left on braking aswell but this is probably due to this,
we had the rear hub off and there is a leaking cylinder so a new one is going on tomorrow, exhaust is blowing a bit on the middle box which is a shame as the exhaust is fairly new
plus the manifold has a crack in it
two holes to weld in the floor behind front seats, these are 2 4" diameter holes that are them round plug cover things, apart from them the floors all good

cage has arrived today

and we already have to seats, poly windows next

Well done buddy. Any guesstimates on power to weight ratios?

its going to be piss poor mate, the 1.6 is only 115 bhp, weight who knows but it will definatly be lighter than standard

, we will be getting out the way of everyone
but should still be a giggle
