Yeah, got loads of wheels!  A few notes about the car: Its a P8 with the following mods. Dual bearing steering (ali bits on top of front gearbox tops) Lowered front wing Lowered rear wing Rear wing mount brace Ali screws in non critical places Lowered motor Lowered cells Ali nuts Two extra bolts through rear gearbox top White spur (latest) Oh yeah, TC3 Gears Fronts have been in about 3 years, only on second set of rears in same amount of time! ;D |

Ohh yeah...she looks ready to party....
When i get some time, i think ill buy those plastic rear wing that were made by associated or yoke was it?
They are so solid and really do their job, ive never really been great fans of lexan wings...they seem to flex too much which dont really enable them to do their job properly... I was using it once on my car and when i suffered a crash the wing mountings came off taking with it the plastic wing, and boy i was so surprised to see the huge difference it made, the rear end would slide round as im entering the apex of the corner and this was on carpet for crying out loud.. From then onwards i always use plastic wings on my racing cars..

The two extra bolts at the rear go through the chassis and gearbox top. They help clamp the gearbox top down better to stop up and down play in the bearing which shags the rear gears.
Also got a grub screw, in rear gearbox top to "nip" down onto the rear bearing...... ;D
