Here is a link to Scott's 1999 Miata build .The adusters allow for 10mm of toe or camber change. I might still use use the Haynes setup on the upper a-arm for major camber changes.

Morning Mark,

It is being done by a bloke called Jim who runs the TeamTrain racing team in Newcastle. He has been running 2 G20's in the G20 cup but since they have combined the G20 and G40 cups together he has got a bit fed up with the series. So he has decided to put all the running gear from the G20's into roadster chassis and body and enter them into the Northern Race Series cup instead. We have supplied full kit for him to do this at more or less cost price. For this its going to be 2 SSC stickered cars and we will be involved with the team. Paul, Flyerncle, is also heavily involved with transferring the 2 and getting the roadster on the road. The first car will be track tested and setup at Teesside autodrome over March with the 2nd one being built once they are happy with that. They are aiming for the first round of the Northern cup at Croft in April.

He also involves kids form the local colleges in the cars and racing for which they get a lot out of it and enthusiasm for the cars.

Hope that explains it........Andrew

Shoot me for this but,the Ginetta is not half the car the Teamtrain/Saturn Roadster Race car will be and with no special mods or anything fancy execpt an Omex ecu to replace the Pectel thats fitted to the Ginetta for the race series as it cannot be tuned.

Hope this now makes a little more sense.

"The Tent " That setup used to belong to a well known m/cycle team Handy Andy
