By my powers of outstanding reading and viewing, it looks and says it's using Compbrake RJ'd arms.

Yeh its running compbrake lower arms but as i found out they are not much longer than standard arms. To get the track to 306 width I had to mod the subframe, extend the top mounts outwards and extend the track rod ends. Not five minutes work.

I would love to keep the car and develope it more but I am living in France and its not possible with me consantly traveling with my race team.

Here's a few quick snaps from a while back. I took these after I gave the callipers a clean and lick of paint, and put on a silver set of speedlines I had in my garage. I also had a grille which I fitted to tidy the front up, this will be getting painted silver at some point.

I haven't driven it a great deal as it has had a few issues so ive only run it at 12psi, but it still goes well. The main issues where the water cooling was inefficient that I've sorted, the oil was overcooling due to lack of thermostat and a constantly running fan, the rear axle needs realigning as it crabs slightly and a few other bits like the wiper linkage keeps jamming.

There is a hidden post just above yours from June 2013, 'puglove' was trying to sell the car in this thread, he didn't have access to for sale due to not enough posts so he tried to bypass that restriction by selling it here.
