roadster works pretty well with 1-1.5 degree neg camber front and rear and 0.5 degree toe in on the front. if its adjustable it may be worth having a
little bit of toe on the rear. as for the front spring rates its a bit of an unknown with the inboard setup but the rear works pretty well with a
250lb spring. im guessing the chassis is the ex-3ge demonstrator chassis that has changed hands a couple of times now?

You are correct the chassis was manufactured by 3ge I don't know if another exists. Thanks very much for the info.

A company called ACE motorsport based in Newbridge S.Wales, I was talking to somebody from the South Wales kit car club and they recomended them.

Cool - new one on me. I was living in Blaenavon until last Autumn (and Monmouth, Penarth and Cardiff before that.)

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, don't bother. Is it the garage on the right as you driven from Crumlin to Newbridge?
They'll do tin tops but when I asked about my mac1 they didn't have a clue.
Then again they may have changed over the last 4 years.

It's actually on the main road that passes through Newbridge, on the rhs if you were heading to Blackwood. I think the guys most experience is
with rally cars but he seemed to know what he was talking about.
