Re: Track R8 214 Sprint
Managed to miss your progress over the last couple of months so it's great to see how your project is coming along.
Like your use of a 'small pair of hands' for confined spaces

Re: Track R8 214 Sprint
Forgot to say yesterday I weighed the 214 on the ATL yesterday (same lane as ZR) with 1/4 tank, me, 17" wheels, 2x factory seats and OE battery and it was 1032 KG. The ZR as it stood with 1/4 tank, me and one race seat and motorsport battery was 1070 KG so good news is the Rover should be about 50 KG lighter which is great news!

Re: Track R8 214 Sprint
Small up date everyone picked up some replace rear trailing arms and a ZS roll bar so can put on the rear discs off the ZR160, get them painted and poly bushed....

Also finally got the steering column panel from a scrap ZR so i can drill out the spot welds and fit the mounting bracket to the R8 so can use the ZR steering rack and front sub frames....

Re: Track R8 214 Sprint
Have you gone for the ZR steering rack because of the restricted lock so the bigger tyres don't foul the bodywork?
