Wow 245’s on the front? What are the rears?
It will certainly be looking mean when it’s finished.

Pete, thats the aim 😎 it runs 295's on the rear. I'm also currently chasing up two sets of JAPearce wheels. Some of the Modsports Cobras ran them back in the day. They're 10x15 and 8x15's 😉

I doubt you'll need any more than 1.5 -2.0 degrees of negative Nige.
Go to far and it will look wrong and maybe give tyre wear issues too.

Ferngar, yep they're the ones I'm hoping to get, they were also fitted to GPG4C when it raced in Modsports

Kev, I've had 3 deg negative on cars before and they handled as if they were on rails, and the tyres didn't wear too badly either ;-)

Looks ok to me ;-). It only looks odd when viewed directly from the front, most of the race cars run severe amounts of camber

Managed to get the new silencers fitted today, doesn't sound much quieter than before but it's taken the droning sound out, which was what I was after.

Also, I've finally finished the front suspension, so the car now has more caster and camber than before. It just needs tracking now.

Next it's on with the bodywork
