Saturn MX5 Based Chassis, Limited Slip Diff & 2.4 Quick Rack.

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

The rears are much stronger now and should have got my overall braking efficiency high enough to pass.

I tried replicating the IVA dynamic braking test several times and couldn't get the rears to lock before the fronts so I think it should be fine.

Westfield SDV builds seem to get through IVA without any kind of bias valve too.

Passed my IVA re-test this morning
I'm a very happy bunny indeed

Stopped by the DVLA on the way home, submitted the forms, handed over the cash, and they did the inspection while I was there.
Should get my reg and tax disc in the poast sometime next week, can't wait!
