Glad its coming on a pace, Knockhill booking time soon.

Well done Ross.

Still got the engine oil cooler and the radiator for the water-cooled brakes to move to the front somewhere... no idea where yet

It'll be on track soon hopefully!

zsserbia will become famous soon enough
With it's low and wide stance and that enormous FMIC it looks like it's ready to leap forward and devour someone... Next thing it will do is roar I suppose.

Seriously, a fine beast that.

ooooh yes. I'm hoping once I wind on more camber it'll help... but I'm not convinced that will fully sort the problem. The rear arch can be rolled a bit as it is metal, but the front is plastic

The first time out will soon tell

it wouldn't be an issue if the stupid thing wasn't so wide and low.

Think I'm going to have to wind the rear coil overs up a touch so they don't contact the arches when they compress.

Wonder if there's any way of reducing the travel?
