Window and heater core removal... not the greatest idea, considering we have 9 months of winter weather and 3 months of summer. Doh.

Yes, but those 3 months gives some epic DH/Freeride mountain bike action! Hanging to get to visit a mate of mine who lives in BC and cruise on to whistler for some runs.

 

Stu.

I'm sure your summer would be similar to our winter here.

 

Being on the west coast we have the "mildest" weather in Canada, averages are like 0-10 in the winter up to 20-30 in the summer, with odd sub zero day and the odd day in the high 30s. It's very wet though, almost always raining except in those 3 months of summer.

Hey, much time has passed. I haven't got much drift out of it this summer due to time and money probs, but some things have changed.

 

First, the blocks on the rear leaves were giving me a lot of grief, so I stuck the leaves in a press and bent them straight. Now at rest they go right into negative arch, and I've had to cut out the tunnel and area above the diff for room. Also, flared the rears to fit wider tires. Then, at the track, I got super pissed at my rubbing front arches and cut them off. 100% improvement in spin recovery with the lack of tire rubbing, and wider rubber in the rear. The car drifts! But needs to go really really fast with the wider rear rubber!

 

Thicker main leaf with reversed eyes:

Made flat by going 50mm a time down the length squishing in the press:

clearance problems:

Solved:

I flared the rear out by cutting along the trim line, and then around the lower perimeter and inner wheelarch, and welding it back together after kicking the crap out of it.
