no hurry, I'm just looking at my options (I'm not sure the elise seats will fit they way I want them to )

chrsgrain - 11/5/10 at 06:41 PM

Looking good! I think the ride height needs to come up at the back (or down at the front!) but that's very minor! Is it LWB, or just the angle of the pictures?

Looks fab mate, really like those rear lights, where'd you get them from? And the headlights...
But seriously, Awesomeness!! Any luck with insurance in the end?

yeah some total c**t got my lights for me, think he worked for somewhere called superlooms !

Its insured now, TPFT, I only get 4k if its burnt or stolen though. £615 @ £50/month after deposit.

chrsgrain, its not LWB so must just be the pics giving that impression. How do you go about figuring out the ride heights? I've just put an arbitrary number of turns on all the springs. To be honest I have no idea how the suspension works with the little knob and everything!

IVA is paid for but not booked. I was told the other day that the technical man at vosa wanted a word with me but not heard anything since??

the little knob is your damper adjustment - there are quite a few threads over on the other forum regarding how many 'clicks' to use

for the ride height you need the 'C' spaner, a steel rule and a flat/level bit of concrete to park the car on (so that you've got a good datum)
then its just a case of measuing the height to the chassis rails in the apropriate places and adjusting accordingly (heights & method in the back of the build manual somewhere)

...not that I've got that far on mine yet of course

Once IVA is sorted I'll get these bars sent back to you!

have you got all your 'sharp' edges covered yet ?
i.e. did you spot the bit on the SVA bar that had been covered before ? (there was still some left on one of those bars)

boggle - 12/5/10 at 11:48 AM

looking good

is the front track wider than the rear?

cd.thomson - 12/5/10 at 12:46 PM

not that im aware of but the first picture does give that impression!
