Will the lower tube clear the steering rack Ross :?: I had to put an angle into that bit to clear the rack --- look at the thread of my rebuild after hitting the tree :!: Looks as though the measurements I gave you have worked out ok for the new wishbones . Good thing Tim isn't operating or you wouldn't have gone my route with the front end widening then be missing out on a totally adjustable front end ---- well done you , a brilliant job nicely done and Tim would love to see what you've done with that particular car :wink: He hated working on it because the guy wouldn't let him sort it properly then blamed him for the result. The frame design can be sen on TOPIC chassis , engine , suspension

excellent work, out of interest, why did you point the inlet for the inlet manifold to the rear, will your intercooler be at the front?

I went for a charge cooler which will be mounted at the rear of the engine, there's a big space in front of the firewall. Also shortens the track length quite a bit which will means better boost response :D

Rob: yea thanks for the help with the front suspension really appreciate it!
Regarding the frame hitting the steering column its already fitted no problem
