where are you putting the controls?

ashtray console bit, like edwins

but ill run 4 switches and 2 gauges so it doenst look identical lol
really is the best place for them and edwin got it spot on...
:)


edit been and changed that idea as that got me thinking about it looking too simmilar to edwins lol

now going to be hidden under the ashtray flap and flip open to reveal switches plum in some lighting also

its realtivley simple, wheel off disk and calliper off hub off put the shim in behind that on the stub axle, now putting it back together you will find that unlike other cars the brake calliper doesnt camber out with the hub and you will have to add a few washers in the bottom hole to get it to camber with the disc otherwise the wheel wont turn lol

its easier doing it than my crap explaniation skills
:lol:

not had mine on long enough to comment on tyre wear, if im honest lol its probably not doing them any favours,

as for safety, never had any issues or heard of any issues :)

effects handling slightly, not on a track so i dont really care lol

This car just keeps getting better and better! cant wait to see what it sits like with the air, and the camber is looking spot on!
