Just a thought & ignore it if you've already sorted it out, but if you are going to SVA it than the driver cannot be able to alter the brake bias whilst sat in the seat, looks like you might be able to in yours. But awesome car, wish I could get my hands on enough money to build one.

Hiya rob we have an arch clearance issue and they cant sort it in time, so im going to leave it there for a week or so-feel free to have a nose round it with my blessing when you go up-are you going to spend some more money??

Thats right, you have to raise the rear arches to lower the car enough, i think it shows it in my build.
I never ran the fron low as it had the old subby on.
When is your first trackday then???

Yeah its the rear that are causing problems too low and the wheels are too far forward in the arch, the front is fine with the arches in the standard position.Spoke to dave at z cars who rang me earlier and he said they are now using miglia arches on some metal brackets which can be mounted just about anywhere,so i think the rear sportspack can go in the bin and ill get them to stick some miglias on, i can get them sprayed in.Never really raced or anything like that before apart from the pro karts, i think i have done mine too nice for racing,as you did, but fancy a track day-i think ill go all out now to get it finished,registered and on the road-taking it to the IOM for the car rally in july so that should be fun over the mountain-just feeling a bit despondant at the mo.

I had the same problem witht he wheels too far forward, just unwound the the trailing arms a little. sportspack are great for the road to be honest.
i noticed you harness bar and alloy clamps earlir aswell!!!!
It would look odd on half sportspack/ half miglia??

Chin up, your nearley done now

About that brake adjuster..... I was wondering, if you would take the knob of of it will it pass SVA???

Your not able to alter the bias then..... It just sits there after fine tuning the brakes....

Anybody got any ideas?

[Robnut]

Oli seen your car today. WOW. Awsome colour and again I love the wheels.
Shame about the arches.

(I have a few pics but wont post them unless you say its OK)

Hi rob, thank you glad you like it, you are very kind,hope you got what you wanted to get on with that clubby.Its a bit of a shame about the arches but its no ones fault, if i had read markrally's posts a bit closer i could have spotted the problem myself sooner, its just one of those things- as for the pics post away i havent seen it myself yet!!!!!!

Hiya mark the fuseboard and loom setup is all a z cars package-i believe its a bloke called dave who makes them in house at z's but dont quote me on that. If its any help there is a mail order place i have used called vehicle wiring products in Ilkeston( www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk) they stock braided polyester sleeving in four sizes.Its page 8 in the 2006/7 catalogue but they have an online catalogue where you could search for it-hope that helps

[markrally]

Just curious as Chris used to do all the looms originally,
Cheers for the info on the nylon overbraid. I will be using it when i rewire mine at the end of the year. Jus t made a few alterations for now.
Cheers
