Hey Phil
Just wondering, the new chassis you are building. you said it will save you 120kg approx. is this just due to the weight of the chrome molly tubing as opposed to the mild steel? or are you taking away a fair bit of chassis? ie modifying it to be as strong with less barwork?
our car is also 100kg over weight. sounds like something we could possibly do. we are cutting the whole rear end off next year anyway. (grahams car)
thx nick
