Correct.

huh, which one?

[Guy182]

do you know if the VXT tie bar would fit with a 3inch exhaust system??

Correct.

Ah sorry, I read that too quickly, just the money for the tie rod kit only at the minute.

Guy - It's impossible to tell in advance really as it depends on the exact position and angle of the exaust. If you can get photos from one tie rod to another then I can make an educated guess.

muncher, does the tie rod brace go directly from the one bolt to the other? or does it drop down or anything?? cheers

No, it drops down and comes outfrom the subframe by about 100mm.

Yeah that would have been ideal but I only just decided to get a pair as Ive just been paid, how easy were they to fit doesnt look to hard to do.

Muncher - you have pm - and hopefully in a day or two, you'll have money too (it's on it's way!) Thanks for sorting these out for us

The hardest bit is getting the old joints undone which are just a case of loosening bolts which is considerably easier if you have the car on ramps or axle stands. The actual fitting part is easy. Eventually the VX version will be available from Elise-shop.com but they won't have exclusive rights to the kit.

Elise-shop.com have the Elise version for sale now which is cheaper to make than the VX one and costs £336.64 (at todays exchange rate) for the toe link only kit including VAT and delivery. Just shows what a stunning price this kit is with the group buy!

Spitfire Engineering (sorry can't remember your first name ) spoke to Olie at Phoenix Motorsport on Saturday , he said to say hello, and mentioned it would be a good set up, because he's going to fit it for me J

Paul

just to let you've got you know my tie rods have arrived today at midday
got to say if anyone is thinking about getting some, JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!! as i'm sure that they work out cheaper than paying vxl for the standerd ones that they don't even supply!!
they are very,very well made and look far better in the flesh that on the photo's!!
thanks again goes to you Paul and of course Spitfire Engineering for a top job!!

looking forward to reciving the brace bar kit getting them all fitted!!!!

[hamlet]

I received mine as well. The quality is very good and the shipment/packing was perfect! Thanks very much Paul, that is a good job. I just made the bank transfer for the extra shipping costs. You should get it by Friday. Cheers...

[Muncher]

Glad you like them chaps The new batch of kits have hexagonal inserts for easier spannering and the NA outboard collets now have lovely sculpted sides to lose about 20 grams from them, every little helps

[jasvxt]

Can the Turbo ones have them as well, we need to loose more weight than most
