ive had a lot of parts made by force racing before, very high quality and the extra bling factor of titanium! think that came up iro ?2k for 2 bottom arms, 2 top arms, 2 hubs and 2 drive flanges for my metro!

centre lock drive flanges....

It is an outstanding project and fair play to you for seeing it through but was there ever a point you felt like dumping the dream ?

No, now way, not a chance. I knew it was going to be fairly complicated and expensive - but there have been so many daft little things that have caused huges issues that shouldn't have been a problem. Time has been a massive factor too. There have been a fair few dealys and with the car being so far away I'm struggling to find time to work on it effectively.

I think I've tried to dump the project twice now. At the start of the year I actually put it up for sale on some specialist websites but took it off again. I don't want to have gone this far and not finish it now

Good luck to Maxxed Ross and hope its soon sorted.

Thanks, and that will make it all worth it

that is almost exactly what I'm after, but it will be designed to go inside the standard hub and be a complete piece of material. It looks like that one is a bolt on single stud? I looked into that but it was going to push the wheels out past the arches by quite a bit

[Drew]

they can make drive flanges, so i cant see why they couldnt add the single lock onto it?

I'll keep it in mind buddy, thanks

Stop buying landrovers Ross and finish this bloody touring car!

[Maxxed_Ross]

I can't do anything until the brakes are finished. I've put a deadline of January on them or I'm pulling the plug and going somewhere else to get them done. Fed up with the car being stuck on axel stands!

[vanishing days]

any news on the car

[Maxxed_Ross]

a bit

the brackets for the front brakes are done





so just the centres to do now

and I finally found driveshafts that fit!



Once the brakes are finished I can put it all back together and haul to off to be mapped

Getting there, bet you cant wait.
