the quickner i got is ment for the 500cc smaller sprintcarss its a pro lite 2:1 its really direct but it very heavy but its impossible to spin out its great soon as it starts to go haywire just responds like that!!! i wouldnt recommend it for the street bec my type is ment for the dirt with a sprint car moving so quick with the wheel half the time being of the ground making it easy and very light steering wheel for him.
but you can get a heavier juty witch is heaps bigger i think its meant for the full size sprintcar but i wouldnt see it to fit down the steering column only just fit mine with a lot of mods but if you had powersteering it prob would work great it would be light steering wheel!

i cut and smoothed of the guards just to see me through this meeting then the bloke will flair them properly

i think theres 4 inch lowering blocks standard leaf fulcrums threw a mad set of hard shockies weights in the quarter pannels depends witch wheels lifts helps and 3 deg camber and 2 mm toe 7mm spacers all in the rear

nice, what shocks are you using? at the moment ive got twin pairs of standard shocks& 3" drop , but ide rather use a single stiffer pair.

also howd you manage the camber? just bend the axle tube?

Interesting.

Currently my boy rolls on std springs & shocks, with set of 15" rims running 165/45 R15's on them. It's getting a little too bouncy, due to the shocks, but body roll isn't too bad, since replacing the front end bushes. Next on the list is new rear shocks & 3 leaf setup, hoping to replace the struts & front springs early next year.

I don't drive the boy too much, so things like this are not needing to be done asap.

Cheers

not all mighty boys drift the just flick out then come back to nutural thats not a drift! 120kph drifting even befor the corner and kept light on the gas to keep up with the arse end all the way round the sweeper! i touched the brakes at the wrong time as i was on full roll/lean slightly turning right, sent me into it! stuffed my time but it looked good!!
