I have found that my spit ('77 1500) feels a lot more skittish since I
have taken the hard top off and put the soft top on. I drove on the
motorway last weekend with the top down, and that was a bit hairy,
although last time I drove on the motorway (with hardtop) the car felt a
lot more solid and much less likely to take off or change direction when
I hit a bump in the road. I guess that a fair bit of road-holding
ability comes from the chassis rigidity, of which the hardtop contributes
to a fair bit I'd say...
In this months TSSC courier magazine there was an article about making an
air dam for the front of the spit, I wonder how much this would improve
the handling? Have any of you made an air dam for your Spit?
On the local news last night there was a feature about a kit car that
some bloke built that could do 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, and go faster than a
formula 1 car! They didn't give any details about the car, although it
looked a bit like a Caterham 7, talking of which I saw one the other day.
I think I'll buy one when I'm rich and famous...
cheers
John
