Love this build, hats off. This build have me the horn for the minus that was for sale up at bingley.

I was tempted by those Ti bits if they're the ones I think they are. I am still tempted by the shell and it's all this threads fault.

How do you find the rear with 150lb springs compared to 125lb. I'm hoping 125lb with the anti roll bar will be ok.

I think you'll be all good with an anti roll bar. The 150's are better but it still catches on hard cornering. Anti roll bar is the answer but i was hoping not to add to much weight.

which bar are you using on yours?

edit: just seen it, kad one. Might have to try one out.

Got my Ti rear beam in after a lot of messing about. It wouldn't clear the arms at first but with a lot of material removed its fitted nicely. I'm sure its increased the rear track a little over the huddersfield beam.

I wouldn't say its the best designed beam it would be so much easier to work on with a few small improvements. It has saved me about 4kg though!

The Kad ARB weighs 2.9kg. Worth every KG, in my opinion. I've ran ARB's for a few years now. If I removed mine it actually makes the car 499kg and to my sub 500kg target, but it's staying fitted. I'm wanting it to handle as well as it accelerates.

I've been looking at having a copy of the KAD bar made in Ti, but then there would be a difference rigidity & flex.

Do the 150lb spring seem hard?

125's seem enough in mine to be tolerable on the road.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Great to see this in the flesh albeit briefly at the weekend. Absolutely fantastic, you should be dead proud of it. Get that turbo lump finished so we can see what it can do!
