Lotus 7 D mod.

I got a bunch of technical info from the seller and have been perusing it. It already has Willwood calipers so I'm sure those are aluminum. I can still do some good with the rotors I think.

The rear axle is like off a midget. it turns out it has axle tubes which are bent to give 1 degree of negative camber, and are rotated top toward the front one quarter of turn to give a little toe in.

It has double adjustable with remote reservoir shocks (so I have twice the opportunities to screw up the handling).

Its geared such and the engine has such a flat torque curve that they have been taking off and running the entire course in the same gear.....great! No worries about screwing up a shift!

The builder of this car did some amazing things. I can't wait to see it.
