Madabout Kitcars Forum - 1000 miles in!!

Right car is just about to creep past the 1000 mile mark so thought I would put a progress update on!

Most of my handling woes have finally gone and the car although not perfect does actually drive reasonably well now.
I know it was banded about about rear toe in helping so this is what I did but may have more than 3 deg on there as tyre scrub is evident but seems to have rid me of about 80% of the rear step out on back off so not too bothered about tyre wear!

I can back off now at 100mph and feel fairly safe.....car on private track has seen about 130mph with it still pulling very very strong.

Car drives very lazy if you want it too with very little noise and will pull in 6th gear at 30mph!

My brakes are noisy which I had not thought about before driving the car (sounds like motorbike brakes) but this is due to them being grooved and dimpled! Still it's all part of the experience! Although they are savage in power if you want to stop quickly.

Finally my seats are very comfy and really suit the car perfectly sitting you at the perfect height whike still retaining the roll bar benefits
