Yeah I have to know what the cars doing, I don't have that with the way it is. I need to have the car putting me through the windscreen when needed. That's the point of brakes lol.
Yeah red locktite. Cars quite happy ATM. I might be paying more attention to handling /braking now lol

this time! Bumpers are over rated mate. Don't know if you got the memo or not.
Didn't get a look at the cars
Yeah, Matt told me you don't have one lol.
Basically, anything with any sort of pedigree ends up at Matts. I took a look at the 237bhp white K11 turbo which was in bits having new hoses fitted, the ex Mayes' red wide arch shell is back there again and the ex Glen Campbell wide arch car is also there being breathed on.

that depends on what you define as "better" tho chris
if you mean easier then maybe, but look at what you,ve learned during this build built not bought innit ?
It's a pretty well put together car actually, (had a good old poke around). I'll never like the boost control setup though...
The major upside to that car is that Elite Racing Transmissions now offer both full dog and helical gear packs for the CG boxes at very reasonable prices, even with bespoke ratios, since the current owner has busted so many.
Re: Bought & Sold. A lot of the time, yes. Things are bought and sold on pretty quickly and Matt is usually the person who ends up as the facilitator due to his wide field of contact. I am not sure why exactly, but it is probably down to finances and/or practicality.

£2k plus is the gear set
Yup. IIRC it's £1500+vat for a basic ratio box and £1800+vat if you want specific ratios to your needs. They offer both in straight dog engagement as well as uprated helical gear sets now too, which use the original synchros and selector rings.
Prices are competative as they have to appeal to the junior rally groups and a £3k+ price tag isn't someting which works.
All gear sets are 1st-5th and utilise the stock CWP.
