    Yeah presently runs about 4% neg camber, am only running this much as I haven't finalised the ride height yet.

    Thinking about going a little softer in the rear springs with reverse eyes and screwing the front struts up a little (they are adjustables). We are doing a gravel rally early next year and think it is probably just a bit low at the front for that type of event.

    Cheers

    Nice shots!! The adjustable struts up front.. are they Fulcrum items? Fully adjustable or just height? What Fulcrum gear you have in the car?

    Car has not actually been up to Fulcrums, they were event sponsors to the Queensland Challenge and you have to carry their signage (stickers)when doing the events.

    The front struts are genuine Bilstein legs (upside downs) that have had the spring seats cut off them. The coilover kit was provided by Kings springs about $200 from memory and I run small dia 200 lb front springs (kings). Strut tops are Nolatec competitions. Car also runs an anti dive, 24mm front bar and a quick rack. Rear end is turreted and runs a panhard. I have all the brackets for radius arms on the car but have not yet needed to run them. I think the rear springs are so stiff they can't wind up!

    Cheers

    Shaun, are you running fibreglass arches or steel? If glass do you need a protective liner inside the glass to stop stones penetrating the arches.

    Interested as I will have some and a mate has them on a rally car.

    The old girl has fibreglass flares but I am sure a couple of them have been redone at some stage. It has been competition car a very long time and I am sure has had plenty of accidents. We know for sure it has had at least 3 roof panels!!

    I am thinking about running a plastic liner in the front wheel well but only to stop mud etc getting caught right up high under the guards and where they go back towards the A pillar.

    If your mate is building a rally car he should not be worried about dinging or cracking the fibreglass, the glass guards are the easiest to fit and fix and in the average life of a well used car you will be doing a bit of fixing! If you aren't putting a few marks on it you aren't trying hard enough!!

    Cheers

    rying hard enough!!
