I have been asked to say something about the anti roll bar issue. I have been helping out Matt B with his car as he is a very good friend of mine. He loves the car but he just wanted alittle more from it, so he asked for my help. You all know I have driven the car so I do know a little about it. It does under steer on the fast sweepers and the back end is unstable over ripply sections.
It is a very strong car and very reliable car.

Back to the anti roll bar.
A 4wd car should turn up its own arse when turning with the power on. With the pin out of the slipper this will not do it. It understeers as all the power is going to the front wheels and not the rear. Put the pin in and it will turn on power.
Even with the pin in the rear end in THAT planted it will not come round when you waant it to. We have tried all different camber link possitions and alsorts of toe in possitions. Put an anti roll bar on and it will come round. All that this does is take grip off the rear. The thicker the bar the more grip it takes off. It will not effect it over the bumps.
If you dont run an anti roll bar then you like a car to understeer. Yes this is the safest way but it is not the fastest. If you watch a Durango, thats what you want it to do but you tone it down to what you like.

I bet now, go and see Ellis's car and it will have one on.
