Cheers guys, yea its been a heap of work and I have still used the leaf spring on the front end... still toying with the idea of using a small coil over for the front but need to stop re-inventing the wheel and try and get the car finished!
Im going to stick with the Turbo/SU A-series for the time being... It was a std A12, but will now try an A15 with a camshaft and see how that goes...
Ive put all the parts in the car and put on corner weights and the car should come in at 590kg's...

Brilliant topgear, did you find it hard to do?

Is the leaf spring still there on the front end?
I must say it never ceases to surprise me how many
B10 race cars have totally different front end
modifications. So many exotic flavours!!!.
This one has to take the cake though with its crazy
hybrid strut/ double wishbone mutation.

What a breath of fresh air!!!

I'll have to be the first to say - that's an awesome engineering job there, you better get some kick ass data logging to back up all that suspension adjustability.

Inspiring work!

Finally got the car on the ground after months of work!
The pictures may show why the LSD's have taken so long

- 1200 Ute diff
- Topgear LSD
- H165 Alloy centre
- floating rear disc brakes
- 3 Link rear suspension with adjustable watts link
- Adjustable Penske Rear shocks
- Air jacks
- Modified and shortened Skyline front struts (still double wishbone)
- Adjustable front roll centre
- Adjustable front roll bar
- Adjustable front and rear ride height

Ive still got more to come but thats where im up to at the moment...
