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...

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!
