Note ^^^ They are all lower at the back and they are all professional racers.
My therory is people have seen the RWDs being higher at the back and copied them, but not really knowing why they do it.
they are probably sitting on the bump stops to prevent it shifting back, also the "wheelie" bars prevent the weight transfer backwards.

dunno, some bloke contacted me from total vauxhall i sent out all the pics and spec sheets etc as requested and heard nothing back. weird as the bloke kept going on and on about it until i sent out the pics. i think its just not a total vauxhall car tbh.

was in ten of the best in 2007 with it. could have ran last year just had an incident of vandalism so didnt want to chance paying 100 quid entry fee and not being able to actually run.
cage plans are going well. should be ordering it maybe next week or week after just checking ive got enough funds. fuel pump will be on its way once i contact the necessary person and get it paid for.
will be same as what was in rick drapers shell.

i am going to carry on with the corsa for now. i just havent got the space to work on any other cars at the moment. its still great fun to drive, and until the novelty wears off i guess i will still find entertainment in it being a corsa.
