911

Wooden seems the best description to be honest.
The car will not strongly self centre, but is arrow straight on the motorways and will not follow tracks in the 'slow lane' with 205 x 45 x 16 Kumhos (or Toyos).

I'm used to it now but it gained this feature after all the suspension stuff.

Don't really care as it corners so well especially in hill climb twisty bends.

graham, job,

thanks for putting me right on the snake oil anti lift kit thing, I think it was the fact that the name wasn't quite appropriate that through me.

I decided to add my bit here again to say that people definitely do fight patent disputes, but they are often not as clear cut as people think.

As a patent attorney, I can promise you this!

Andy, copyright, registered design, unregsitered design right and patents are all completely different things.

Just to add my tuppeny worth: I also run uprated ARB's front and rear. I feel the front is only required because the car spends a lot of time on track - if it was road-use only I wouldn't have done it. I found that on track I would consistently up my corner entry speed until I finally cooked the front tyres - the front ARB allowed me to balance this out for my driving style.

It's also worth noting with mine (a wagon) that 4 years of hammering it around a track with uprated suspension has knackered the chassis. In the early days I used to park one rear wheel on the kerb to change the other wheel. If I do it now, the doors don't close cleanly! Roll cage is on the cards for me I guess.

Adam: I am a Diector for Design Engineering so sit on the other side on your table!
Richard:
I have put a cage in my hill climb 911 some 8 years ago. Stiffened the car, and stress cracks appeared 2 years later!
My cage has been in the Sti now for 3 years and i cant see anything yet, but both are bolt-in 6 points.
I think if it were a fully welded job then the same would occure especially with the stiff suspension I have/bars etc etc.on my Impreza.

Mind you, I would never hill climb a car in competition without a cage.

Agreed - the trees are always a little too close I started doing a few hill climbs, but never give the same level of commitment as I do on track.
