    TBH I have bought an Astra3 estate and being as tall as I am the seat is all the way back - the b-pillar is perfectly in the way (same place as simp's nova) and it's not an issue.. just a little annoying

    ^ My dad Insigna is the same with where i sit. I can see out the rear doors. Tweeter is right in your ear too, which is annoying.

    Are you modifying the steering setup to gain more lock for slideways action? As its going to be fricking lively with such short wheel base..

    I'm not building it for drift use but the modified uprights I'm using allow for mahoosive lock as they're designed for drifting primarily. Main reason I want them is the 50mm raised spindles.

    Driftworks have not long finished building an ae86 V8 drift car which has a very similar wheelbase. It has a lot of money thrown at it obviously but he's commented that it is quite wild but once tamed should be hugely competitive.
