Is it just the weight of the steering that all is worried with the smaller wheel?
Glad to see I'm on the right track then re sway bars. Yes I'm under no allusion that I'll end up with a rocket ship with 17 parts, But if one can ultimately make it change direction like this.

You lot with Gordini and Gordini replicas (17 bits jammed in) does your's look anything like whilst changing direction?
And It's not the body roll mid corner that's so much an issue, but yes the agility going from one direction to the other which I worry might be annoying.
Anyway it's nice to have dreams
I'm sure the boffins in Renault did / do know what they are doing, but I'm confident club events and light motorsport were not on the design brief when they were drawing up the 12. I mean, it was there Beetle right? The 12 was designed for export, well to be built cheaply anywhere on earth primarily? And we only got the Gordini 12 thanks to the marketing department right?
Anyway. As linked above, others are having fun with the humble design, I'd like to also
If the stars align I'll be at the Rob Roy come try day on the 27th. But I want to change the oil flush the radiator, bleed the brakes, throw some new tryes on it etc etc etc..
Maybe the next one..
