I note from one of the photo's that you appear to have a built up diff now. So what ratio did you finally decide on.????

John has all the pics on his photobucket account im sure he will make them avaliable to you Ian.
Diff still not complete its just the casing still.
We do have the diff unit but notthe crown wheel or pinion as yet struggleing to track a new one down of the required ratio, still planning on the 2.73
we will get it eventually................

Sweet. Only minor modification to the fibre glass and yet it still looks right. I take it you still dropped the engine a little as per the pre trial
fit at Newark?.
Looking good Mate.

Transparent hoods and there was me thinking i had the stupid ideas pmsl.
Sorry Ian i was at work mate and i have only just got in from working on the car now and im sure you have seen them by now.
I was a little shocked myself now the gearbox is lowered and in the right place it actually fitted under the bonnet without much working out. Filling
in the air scoop was a lets see what it looks like idea and its staying now coz we like it lol.
Some thing else has been discussed tonight that may lead to something a little diff for the front end but you will have to wait till we can try it out
before im gonna tell you all about it unless John wants to chime in and say something...................................................
Just had an invite to be on a kit car mags stand at donnington and had to refuse as its not going to be in any fit state to be there which is a shame
but hey ho next year will be worth the wait lol

well guys i been getting loads of bits and bobs over the pond here, ordered the pedal box, gone for a tilton 600,
http://www.tiltonracing.com/content.php?page=list2&id=8&m=b , should be delivered to me before i come home, already got the crown wheel and
pinion i was looking for, got 2 sets in fact, been to the dodge dealer and got the pipe for the clutch, but it came with master cylinder and res, the
pipe can't be removed from the master cylinder so i am going to have to use the viper master with the tilton pedal box some how, the clutch pipe
and master even came ready primed with fluid, so i'm hoping i can get it back to the uk ok.
pedal box over here with delivery and the correct 2 master cylinders was around the 330 quid mark, from demon tweeks the same setup with delivery
would have cost me 630 quid, my flight was 317 so the saving has almost paid for the flight, don't you love the prices in america

Toe-in adjustment on the rear to boot - DROOOOOOL.....
Shurley shome metal required from the rear of the (inner) lower wishbone back towards the frame where the roll bar connects???? I know I'm a
worrier but I'd hate to see you and BJ become a raspberry coloured centre to a metal pretzel if the volcanic quantities of torque you have
decide to give the chassis a bitch-slappin'
Did I say lower - clearly meant upper, mi' lud....

trust me neil there is more there than it looks very very strong well over engineered lol.
Toe adjustment was one of my stupid ideas along with quick camber adjustment too looking at caster quick adjust for the front now too but thats harder

we got a good write up in the latest complete kit car mag, mark scanned it in and sent it to me in the US, the only bit they got wrong is the front
and rear tyre sizes are the wrong way round, other than that, bloody good writeup
