Let me be the first to say well done!!!

Hope you get those carburation issues sorted and start giving them hell!

Beautiful car......wow.

What size are the wheels and tires?.....I've always loved that groupe 2 body kit......

Also tell us more of that front suspension setup? remote reservoir's what brand are they? what strut housing did you use?

Thanks for your kind comments.

The wheels are Wolfrace ATS Classics. The size is 8 x 13 and we are currently running Kumho 235/45VR13.

We are thinking of running Hoosier which should give us more grip as they are a softer compound.

The current spring rates are 500lbs on the front and 375 on the back.

We used the original strut housings but these were modified by Dynamic Suspensions of Thetford who shortened them and also added more camber for us. The remote reservoirs are Girling.

why so much softer in the rear? I know Steve (owner of this site) you can see his car here http://www.kgb-racing.com/

he runs 500lbs all around....

I'm currently picking my spring rates.... was probably going to go pretty similar rates

Hi,

We found this on the web and thought it would be a good starting point.

We did feel it was too soft so increased it slightly. People out there are already racing these and would know more than us for a good set up.

The guy who built the engine and races in British GT felt we were going to soft with the spring rates but bowed to our suggestion.

As we haven't given the car a good test yet we may increase the spring rates later.

Cheers,

Bob.
