Thanks man, appreciate that. Putting in more time and money than ever. But less active on the internet, the forums at least.
However, got a new MOT today and I'm progressing on the custom front suspension.

Repositioned rollcenter and (bump) steering points. More steering lock, modified struts for 2.5" more travel (or lowness) and offcourse all coilover. Working on my own dampers, but havent figured out yet.
Was annoyed with the handling of the lowered 360, so took the grinder.
The B230 runs great, but still need more power lol

Lol, was working on the suspension to solve some issues.. And it looks like I'm getting away with the swingarm upside down.
Don't mind the amost cut away swingarm, its a prototype. Please do mind the über lock

You decided that putting the wheels at 90degrees to the direction of motion is more effective than having brakes Frits?

Everytime I see that photo I flinch. The cage did that B pillar a *lot* of favours by the looks.

Can't really say, but the cage doorbars stopped the door for sure.
But driving home from England with a concussion wasn't the best idea. When I was about home, I didn't know anymore to drive on the left- or right side of the road lol
The car didn't felt predictable, I decided to go for it anyway, so you'll end up the wall. But its the past. Thats why I'm now working on the front suspension to get the handling done.

Found out my youtube account again, so here is 50-100 km/h in 3th gear. I'm actually dissapointed about engine's power...
