Don't put head rests on the rear seats, it won't look right imo. Actually I think the back seat doesn't suit the car, rip it out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have started putting the carpet in, yee haw that's a not fun job. Cash is slowly accumulating for the diff. Been thinking about IRS with rear steering, or a Watts Link and tubs - one day. Kyle (HDT-VLCLE) saw the cage for the first time on Saturday night. Pretty sure he liked it, although he was pretty maggot. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

IRS would be worthwhile doing if your keen on circuit racing and it's not that much of a major from what I understand

Wrong thread Mr Ank. Looks great dude - good luck keeping that thing on the ground when it's done!! Quote: Originally Posted by NZ EVLHSV IRS would be worthwhile doing if your keen on circuit racing and it's not that much of a major from what I understand It would be, particularly with the rear steering to take advantage of. But smooth surface racing would be better with a Watts Link, from what I understand. No major bumps in the road to really speak of? I'm just going by what I've read about the comparison between the two. V8 Supercars use a Watts Link. IRS is more work, as the fuel tank has got to be chopped, etc. I know what you're going to say - fuel cell! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I need time to let the streetability of the car go, guys. At the moment I still believe a boot is for luggage destined for a weekaway, not for a shiny arse tank for of liquid acceleration. Give me time.
