    Thanks for the extra info. Olly.

    I shall do some more research on these Regamasters.

    I already use a set of OZ Superleggera's (17") for the spare wet weather tyres on my Escort Cosworth, and they are very light. As you say, not so keen on the styling though....

    A set of 9" x 17" Regamasters would come in at around 6.5kg each by my calculations, which would be a healthy saving of 3.5kg per wheel compared to the OZ magnesium wheels I'm using at the moment in 8" x 17".

    Definitely will be worth seeking out a set for the Nova as well, and they're cheaper than Image split rims.

    Let the searching begin.

    How does that anti roll bar and its adjustment effect the feel of the car?

    It's amazing how much difference it makes, just driving the car round in circles you can really feel the effect of moving the bar from soft to hard. It definitely feels nicer with the bar set more stiffly, for me anyway. I've only tested it in the wide open spaces of an airfield, so on a tight and twisty hillclimb with trees and other things to hit, it will need more experimentation.

    Come on then! Enlighten us, you always brag about what you would do differently or know something that no one else does, then hold your cards close to your chest. Spill the beans or STFU.

    Strange then that huge-budget BTCC and WRC teams went to the trouble of having adjustable anti-roll bars when there was a simpler answer.......
