Nice video! This is the nicest finished Exocet I have seen so far.

Still chipping away at it Tim. Discovered last night the radiator is 1" too low to fit the nose cone on! Also waiting for a chap to make us a new transmission tunnel since the MEV supplied one doesn't fit in the slightest...

Any other Exocet builders using Racelands/Rokkor/similar and unhappy with their spring rates? ME TOO. I found some springs here in the US that can be swapped out - 150 lbs in the front and 100 lbs in the rear is what I am running now. All I can say is that after driving on the Racelands with 300+ lbs rates I fell in love with the car again after making the swap. Definitely an inexpensive option to fix the racelands/rokkors if you have gone that route. Still not perfect, but much more compliant.  |

MAY want to get different lengths if you ever do it again. that length will limit your height if you ever want to lower it.
and look into the Fat Cat motorsports bumpstops. the guys on CR.net are having good results with them on the cheaper coilovers with giving a little more suspension travel which will be important with the lighter spring rates as well

Kev, how did you mount your rear lights, i'm planning on using some cheap and nasty ones to get through iva then place them where i want them, if you have any pictures or could take some that would be great. Cheers Craig.

h5ngs - very simple aluminum angle with a slice taken off to clear the bolt-on roll bar. Might readdress this winter for something a little nicer.
