No I've got the stock battery as I need weight on the back. When the car is back on the scales I'll see the weight distribution then might change battery

Guess that's the minimum to get some air inside. Have you thought of using helicopter vents? Cheap solution and widely used in Ultima Sports vehicles.

Hi all

Ok I had the chassis tune done and with great results. Last time we could not get 3 degrees negative camber on the front because the k mac bush would not turn that far so we grinded away the sharp point at the bolt slot so now the bush turns more. As well I can now have more negative camber on the rear because of the MB arts arms

You got an electric pump in the diff cooler circuit? Are you also monitoring the oil temp? It would be interesting knowing what figures you get ðŸ‘

Nifty driving
I still find the car a handful to drive at the limit just like all 43's, looks very bumpy (too much firm rebound perhaps?) and brakes look to have some trouble keeping up. Tyres? How did you like the Quaife?
