our rules are pretty clear about that, stock front suspension only, steering can be after market

I m gonna test limiters but I really want to keep max front end travel for our airfield tracks, I know there has to be a way around this, just look at the SS cars

Exactly.....
Maybe give a shout to one of the SS chassis builders. Might be some creative bending involved.

You better do a toe curve on it... I can see that as the body starts going up the toe goes toe OUT big time... which is bad and the toe out is causing flex in the steering arms, idler and what not... gotta keep the toe in at 0 or slightly toe in

100% The toe goes way out. Need to check the bump steer and get it to or as close to 0 change as possible though out the travel. Sweet Ride!

As has been mentioned, I would check the bump steer. Did you still want an Australian Valiant Grill Ken, I am having abit of a clear out. Shoot me an email if you still do.
Thanks

It sounds great, like a high pitch whistle, maybe the resonance from the trees. Reminds me of the MX gp i went to in Belgium. Mick
