Watched that vid, again. Nose seems to be doing what you want, quite nicely... Changed caster and/or camber or some setup lately?

Going for harder front springs may cause understeering...? But harder for rear, worth a try I reckon...

But I really think that those rear coilovers needs attention, I think problem lays there...

But still, that car is bloody fast and you can handle her! Good job mate!

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Thanks Clive, Rad fan back, do like looking at ally welds looks very nice. :great: :13: :sign0098:
So idea was to use rx8 rad pack with the R3 koyo rad but ive custom V mounted and was using a hi power slimine Spal fan before...(thats now living at Combe)  But as ive flipped rad so coolant pipes are on top i cant use existing mountings as fans will blow wrong way, reversing polarity just stalls air so thats no good, and there is no way to mount them underneath as they are so big and foul existing brackets which would mine coolant pipe redesign etc, so looks like in the market for an aftermarket slimline fan..so prob off to Merlin with rad and offer some fans up...but need a proper mounting solution....its fallen off once!!! and aftermarket fans can be set up to push so it can go on top and then cant fall off lol...........but not today im feeling ill so off to bed! :pottytrain5:

Please all is well with the Rad, you could see he did this properly for you.

My old mate Tim is a real clever guy, worked as a fabricator for Brabham F1 for years, on the Piquet car pictured I know he fabbed the roll bar wishbones etc along the way  :great:

All the best Clive

Well confirmed 8kg spring in rear of fd and both rears im hitting in corners,,, too softly sprung? Its always wallowed abit but judging by last outing photos it more than i thought.

What suspension setup are you running now? I will go back over your posts but just to bring me up to speed quick lol as for your road wheels I very nearly bought a set the same in gold with chrome lips and I have to say the colours worked
