Hope that helps you out a bit, I believe you can run the long springs in the rear using the medium setup; and it results in a slightly softer rate in comparison. I've not had chance to try this out personally though.

Fingers crossed I should be pitting with Rob at Stoke on the 28th, and I've got a most of the above springs; you're more than welcome to try some out, just give me a nudge.

Colin

Thats brilliant, cheers Colin! I'll print that out and acetate it to my pitbox . it will be good to meet more MP9 drivers . 28th march? okay I think im being pursuaded, its an NNRC meeting too that day ya'see, I'll see if Mahoonaburger and Brennan fancy it too.

Cree, I know Rob is using the lightweight chassis. Share some details and photos mate, im interested. I didn't know about it before Rob mentioned it. Are you doing any other MP9 stuff?

If anyone wants a chassis doing then just email me and I'll sort it out. Basically i'll take your std MP9 chassis and mill pockets in it to lighten it out and add a bit of flex (all for a very reasonable fee....)

Click on the logo below for more details and email me if you want to know more!

Oh yeah need little bit of lighter chassis too.
Found the car so much better, cheers Rich.

Might send it over to you for little bit more flex

For a round? Nope , but you can try it for a few laps in practice.

Like the new signature Ry, I need mine re-doing *hint hint*
