    Then don't worry about it, they are fine on the road and for track days. Just people who don't know how to modify/maintain them for motorsport tend to get stung.

    Also project is looking nice Matt, don't envy you having to take the pedal box out so many times! Spent ages messing around with the one on the demo car and Tony c's car (green nippon challenge FD) when I was down at Atomic.
    We need running vids!
