philthy30 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Posted June 15, 2010 Awesome info. Cheers robj might have to try out a couple ideas. I was actually toying with the idea of putting a panhard rod in as I have a spare one lying around. The diff has never sat in the center of my 30 and I have never figured out why? maybe it was in a bit of a crash earlier in its life. Cheers Phil Quote

robj Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 No dramas Phil. I found getting 3 of Carroll Smith's books were a great investment in the build of my car. He was a F1 manager many years ago. The books were Tune to Win Drive to Win Engineer to Win. Cost me $100- $110 5 years ago, saved me much more than that in getting the wrong info or products, and the theory of driving was good too. Each book about 150-200pages of good text. With a good build like yours, might be worth grabbing your hand on them. Glad I was told to get them...smile. Quote

Just a good mate of mine, he just works out of his garage at home he whipped it up in about an hour, looks overrated. No dramas Phil.

I too give my condolences to everyone affected by the tragedy. Phil would be happy to know that the KE30 will be finished. Vincent. Quote
