    Not sure how your regs read, but mine state the same design of rear suspension. Doesn't say you can't fabricate a new beam, adjustable and out of a lighter material. Agree though that bespoke independent is out of the question for any class a Nova can be competitive in.

    I haven't tried yet - but it definitely won't with the brakes which were fitted as they are 315mm!

    I can't see why they wouldn't be fine with a smaller disc and bell.

    Simpson Exhausts have now made me a complete new manifold and system, so I'll be off to collect the car next Saturday.

    Can't wait to see it, once I get over the shock of paying the bill.

    I'll post up photos.

    Sadly not. Due to the cost it's been done in 304 stainless steel.

    They could have done Inconel, but that would have more than doubled the price.

    It will be a great item. What dimensions did you go for, just the same as what was on it before?

    The manifold has been done to the SBD specs (as per the BTB one that was on it before). I assume the system will be 3 inch.
