    The rear IS fitted and is on the lowest setting but as its stripped out and the fron is ridiculously low it doesnt look that low but it is lol.. you carnt drive the car except forward with it that low.

    I supply the kit through Raceworx its £650+delivery

    i agree it looks higher because the front is so stupidly low. and i had forgotten your car was stripped out in the rear. sits the same sort of hight at the rear as the whiteline kit, you'll have to give a full report on the ride quality, that is a very competitive price too.

    i dont expect thats the "AIM" f the project itll take along time of preperation to get it down to that its not somthing i just pluked out of the air.... itll probly take most of next year learning how to drive the car and setting it up before im confident enough to even attack the ring at medium pace..

    maybee i didnt make myself clear,,,how can you aim for 8 mins?

    e,i what are you compairing to

    i havent seen ANY times from the ring at all from any car so i dont have a clue

    its pretty easy to estimate times at 1/4 for example ,,but the ring? if you have never been round before how did you know 8 mins would be a good time? it could take 25mins to get round for all i know,,,

    what sort of cars do it in 8mins

    Iv finally got my blanking plate through and the straight outlet pipe... :-



    also had the time ti remove the dash and remove all the heating crap...

    So thatll be a nice amount of weight saved!!
    all i need know is to have a carbon centre console made up for mounting flick switched.. also got rid off all the sound deadening aswell... so now i can see bulckhead through the dash :S

    and finally a hi-res link to the engine bay :-
