Is it possible to set up the suspension without the engine? I would of thought that with nothing in the shell it will sit higher and then with the extra weight in it the angles then change? Which is why your meant to be in the car when its being set up? No?

Do you want your project moved across to the dark side now?

Great Idea - Please get this finished for the ring - I will personally pay for a lap as a passenger!

Well I won't have my girlfriend with me this year, so you'll have to pay me in kind...
...unless you puke up a tree all day like she did!

Well my girlfriend will be there, im sure we can work something out!
