Thanks for the kind words Martin. My wife said that she spotted you and the kids and said Hi, I'm not sure that you knew who she was! <br>
<br>
I agree that my car is sitting too high. I can't get the back end any lower without have the inner edge of the rear arches trimmed to accomodate the 6j wheels. I'm already shaving parts of the tyre as it is. I think the front needs nudging up slightly and the rear dropping 10mm or so. Coming out of Surtees onto the Brabham straight in 3rd gear had the wheels spinning and the back end trying to break loose. With the weight bias thrown towards the back a little it should help with traction.<br>
<br>
I should be able to put a video clip taken from the stands up shortly. It's the last few laps but gives perfect audio of what you describe as 'throbby' on the over-run.<br>
<br>
Hope to see you again soon and if you need a 1300fwd in a few months for your project, then mine could be made available to you. Trouble is its a 'h' plate not an early one.<br>
