Fitted a small steady to try and push the engine over a little. I will fit the 1380 with proper mounts, not these quick release rubbish.


I reduced the camber, and increased the ride height a little which brings the hubs into the centre of the car a little and it's staying in for now.


I think it's a combination of the crap engine mounts, and the increased track of the metro hubs.

It's for sale I suppose (probably won't sell it), yet I still seem to be spending money on it.

All megajolt parts are now ordered, and majority arrived.


Centre cap is being machined for strap. I thought I had all the parts for the 1380 but completly forgot about a diff. As this is the motor that's being turbo'd (maybe) it's going to need to be a good one. I drove home this weekend to build the 1380 as much as I could and start making brackets etc for megajolt. I spent the entire time working on that shaft, so made absolutly no progress, thankfully it broke at home and not at uni though.






who am I kidding, im never going to sell it. ha ha




Ohhh and chris.........your scaring me :)
