You can see in this one where it is just touching the body work about where the blue dots are on the tyres

Well, it seems I am still continuing on being screwed by those muppets at Mitchell Motorsport.
Have got the diff out, and the diff bushes are perished or fallen apart, they are just some weird arse ones that the rubber isn't round, and shapped more like a two bladed propeller. Basically means that it is pretty much free to move along one axis depending on however mounted, in this case, free movement up and down (no I know why I was getting a donk on the rear end on hard gear changes, and axle tramp).
No remember, the mount points that the bushes fit into are customer made, so they could have used any type of bush, and it seems 99% of them out there are solid round ones, but noooo, they had to use this weird arse one.
Anyway, upshot of it is, getting stiffer ones, hopefully completely round (will find out when they turn up tomorrow) and that will sort out launch issues, and some of the rattles and bangs.
Bad news is, not sure if it is going to be on the road in time for the Drag wars this Friday night, bummer.

Completed the drags, managed to get down to a 12.418 run, she can do a lot better with someone that knows how to launch her off the line.
Maybe should of given her a wash....nah.

And not only does Darth approve of the changes made, but so does the big fella.

Sorry REDBEN, it's next year and still haven't painted her, but did buy new suspension, Xida Supermiata's, spring rate 14kg front, 9kg rear.
I guess technically I bought these last year, as order and paid for them in September, but they only turned up in the last couple of weeks.
Now just have to pull finger and fit them.
