    I didn't mean flat through craners...it is a lift on the way in(in the faster cars)....but just dont be tempted to lift mid way through....you will be in a spot of trouble then!

    Chris...I have emailed you about the driver training, but I think I have copied the address down wrong. Can you drop me a line?

    apparently can buy the eibachs for round 205 from venom, not sure what fitting would cost maybe 50quid, why not do it urself? i will be! its not really that difficult so long as you have the correct tools!

    Rear will be a dead simple job, even a complete novice could do the rear.

    The front is more involved as the subframe has to be lowered slightly to fit it, and sometimes the subframe bolts can be a nightmare if the captive nuts break off inside the chassis leg (worse case scenario)
