I was lucky to build up a set of Evo2 from odd sales. I bought three of them from a member here called Maggot (Andy).

What is your set-up ... suspension / tyres ? Jeremy Hi Jeremy I have followed your threads. Great work on your cars. Ye that photo is Turn 2 in Mondello, Accellerating hard in 3 turning to the left and going up an incline. You'd enjoy it. The suspension is basic engough, it's a Apex kit shocks and springs, strut brace on the rear, I removed the spring pads and replaced them with 4mm rubber. There is one picture I have of the rear, I zoomed in at spring, you can see the spring been compressed, A proper track kit, I can only imagine how well the car would be. Dont know when Jeremy but we'll deffently hook up at some track together. Ross

Don't know the make of the back box, it was one a friend had lying around, I didn't cut the rear bumper, the tail pipe sits up againist the bumper, no prob with heat. Eventually it will be replaced, it's on the list. Cheers Ross

The amount of photo's is determind by the amount of time your on the track. Ye I was pushing it hard that day, perfect weather that morning for the slicks. Ross
