You're reading the wrong magazine, Kai! :-)
I've spent some time driving and evaluating this car both on road and
track and helped Richard Walden tweek the suspension settings. At first,
it had alarming oversteer which led to some exciting spins!
It's certainly impressive, the handling is probably no better than a
well-sorted live-axle MGB, but the ride is definately an improvement.
In answer to someone else's questions, the battery is relocated to under
the bonnet (the obvious place), giving a massive area for the new
subframe. The price is =A31750 for the rear and =A3490 for the front
suspension.
I don't like the bodykit and told Richard so. He's now revamping the
system so that it will fit under an unmodified body.
There's a six page feature in the next magazine. If anyone wants to know
more, I'll be glad to help.
Cheers,
