looking good, i built mine from the book too, got mine legal a year ago,

The only thing i wished i had the bodywork when i made the chassis as the round tube could have done with moving a bit wider to suit the bodywork

i think it handles very well, although i have never driven any other 7's

Self centering is built in but i have modified my set-up a bit with camber adjusters and rose joints

They fronts are the RMD ones from rally design, cost a bloody fortune with the ally hubs and wilwoods but look nice though and the rear ones i made myself.
