106 Track Toy
So started on the door cards today Smile got one of them shaped just going to give the edges a quick rub down to smooth them out more and get hold of a hole saw so I can cut a hole out for the window winder and door handle

Will be picking up my new beam tomorrow built by Stef205 Smile so as I'm going from drum to disk am I right in thinking I can keep the existing brake lines but have to change the handbrake cable?

I would like to get it on for spring action but don't think I would have the funds as I'll need to get disks, callipers and new front springs to drop it to match the back, I'm hoping all the suspension and brakes will be done for FCS Big Grin

Nice seats, had corbeau's in my Rallye. Very comfy and usable, unlike a pure sprint seat.

Yeah great seats especially for 150 each new

Sound weird but you can feel the road through you arse in buckets which means you can push (the car ) that little bit more.and also way more supportive and braced.

Yeah I love bucket seats, I used to race Karts so it was a fibreglass seat an inch off the floor with no suspension. Cant get more road feel than that haha

Yeah it's getting there Smile will be taking it to Spring action with the standard suspension but after I will hopefully be buying the front lowering springs and all the new brakes.

Contemplating fitting a brake bias valve. What's your opinion on fitting one?

no harm to fitting one, as you can have lot more control over the brake setup.
