^^ Thats not a bad idea. I usually hate bodykits but I'm pretty keen to see how Kierans will turn out, won't do it for mine but cool to see something different.

HANS has become compulsory in Australian "CAMS" events from july this year.
It is a great safety feature but requires much more thought into seat/bar placement.
after that death of the teenage girl that attributed her death essentially to the helmet breaking her neck..HANS is a good option for you track rats.
oh and i reckon that arm restraints are a must too as you see too many flailing arms in MX roll overs

Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

So I found a few issues, my crash wrecked a wheel bearing and they are not as cheap as I thought. So I bought a cheap NB subframe. Swapped out the shafts and the hubs and its made the car wider or reduced the camber a bit which is good.
And yes an NB subframe does fit in an NA

Some time ago I did my brakes (thanks broomfish) - New pads and disks all round.
At the weekend, warrior had another look at them because I thought they felt soft. The caliper sliders were a bit oo err so they got a going over, now they feel tons better. Shit can this thing stop now.
Next moves (in no particular order):
CAS gasket
Fix rattle #766
CB + water pump
Shocks n' springs.
Tear out the remaining soundproofing and add lightness without going full chris
Paint sills and lip, maybe mudguards.
