That is a massive understatement Suffers; I know what is needed to be done to the Exige before April 1st. Mine is all done minus the front splitter.

Cadwell yesterday was a bit mixed. When the car ran, it was sweet and handling is epic. Sadly we shredded a few drive belts and had to take an early bath.

Is that just down to pulley alignment? Am I right in thinking you haven't run this Harrop before?

I ran Nick's Harrop and pulley last year. I now have my own Harrop and bought a new pulley from the same supplier as Nick's.

I am running the same length belt as last year and the same sized pulley.

Chris thinks the belt is too long and we need to run a shorter belt.

Pulley is 2.9 Inch and belt length 1290.

We still on 5pk. If I can go to 6 rib cheaply and easily I would. No idea what I need, where to find it and how much.

my belt is 1275mm 6 rib on a 2.9 pulley maybe the alignment is out, I'll try to find the information on where I got my 6 rib setup from

Sorry for the lack of pics, here is one from yesterday in the paddock at Cadwell.

The wing looks awful and this could be the worst angle to view it from.

It doesn't look so bad in the flesh, in the fog, squinting a bit but it does work. Maybe a little too high though.

Joey, when it is designed as an aero aid it is called a wing. It is a spoiler if is for aesthetic purposes.

I love it without the stickers.

I thought spoilers spoiled the airflow hence the name? That picture looks bad, makes one end plate look large than the other too. Do you have a picture of the car front on?
