forgive me if I am wrong but didnt you alter your track rod arrangement to help cancel out the bump steer using Rose joints and a spacer? If this is right do you have any info on what you used and maybe even some pictures of the setup.

If I am wrong plz ignore the above.

Cheers.

I did but I am just about to leave for Harewood I will get you some pictures on Monday.
Allan

Ps I just found a pic of a similar mod

How does the extra length in the wheelbase fair? less twitchy at high speeds?

Its only a few cm's longer I shortened the Justy floorpan.
Its very predictable at high speed at the moment but its way to soft I have fitted much harder springs and will try it at Doune this weekend.
It weighs about 630kg.

Bloody hell Allan, you've got the hand of a fast start in one of these I see!
On most vids of zcars stuff they sound really bogged down and then pickup, but that was sweet.
