    Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

    Ohhh its got oversteer if he wants it .. what i'm saying is he can have more grip at the rear ... which will push the front a little. I dont want to cure oversteer, but induce some understeer by getting a bit more rear grip

    the 02 has trailing arms if i'm not mistaken, which would mean a lower Rc than an Escorts Live axle, so allthough you may have wagged a wheel.. you had less than an escort

    The cage has 2 attachments in the middle of the 'a' pillars .. i prefer top and bottom corners

      Apart from the obvious aspect of the wheel in air moment in that last pic I also think its well worth noting the sort of cars BEHIND Andy at this point. He was fair and square beating some very fast and successful machinery there

                      Am I really that much taller than the Pipester And what is making Andy and Stevie Pipe so happy in that pic but at the same time making me want to jump off the nearest bridge

                      Oh and it was great to see you both at the racing again, a little support goes a long way , cheers

                        I am now £400 richer due to the Demon Tweeks pole position scheme. Get your car pictured in the motoring press and get £200 pounds worth of vouchers
