He said he would like to take the bushes off the front arms and replace with a bush that can be adjusted... I asked him if it would make any difference on a road and he was honest and said not really only on track...
Just checked the rake from back to front and the front is higher by about 1.7cm from chassis to floor now so so unfortunately it's as good as it gets without scraping the floor.. He was limited due to the diff same as yours Mark..
Honestly the car feels safer to drive at speed... Really pleased with the results and he's a really really nice bloke...
Thanks Dave, so a saving of 25kg... Anyone now what bhp per tonne increase that would equate to if the cars 204bhp
Here's a pic that it happened...

Re: Geo set up.
If you turn it over I would guess that the extra 13bhp per tonne will seem like a bad deal.

As Jeff said, around 600kg is fairly standard for a Seven with a Zetec. Is the Fury significantly lighter?

Re: Geo set up.
Lee, what other options do you have to lighten?
1. Race battery?
2. Wheels? (probably not many better alternatives to your TDs, or go smaller, but screw up your ratios?)
3. Alloy bell-housing?
4. Alloy rad?
5. ...?
