rear mid con was for original zx5 rear end,whereas sp con gave you new arms hubs and driveshafts on all 4 corners.made the car much easier to drive.if you can find an sp conversion anywhere i advise to buy it or you could buy a totally new zx5 sp,or wait a little for the fs version[saddle pack,front motor mount]kit.or why not ask if anyone is selling a nearly new converted fs?many thanks jez.any one got any cat questions?

From what I can make out, only 30 SP conversion kits were brought into the country so were sold out long ago. I missed out on these last year so decided to do the conversion myself - extremely costly! The only way to get an SP now is to buy one already made (or a new kit)

You could also get a complete SP with spares, 2 bodyshells and tire package from the bay here.

The cells are perfect for the Lazer, but wonder if trackpowers are better for the CAT

Jez, you did me proud beating prices from bigger companies! The car is much improved (not that it was bad anyway) and my times are quicker, so it's all good
