what do you mean does this work? Thats what ellis said on another thread of this forum to get a xxx4/xx4 roll bar kit and piano wire, it should give more steering depending on the thickness of the wire

You have it.

However I don't always use the bar, it is very good but does take a little drive away so not always the best thing.

You will have always seen it on the car though but one side can be disconnected so if your not sure have a closer look or just ask.

Gary - come and find me at Faversham and I'll walk you through what you need to do.
18SWG piano wire (1.2mm) is good.
a bit of dremel work on the rear wishbone makes it a bit wasier to fit the lower ball studs - that's the trickiest bit.

Ended up not running mine at the EPR national this weekend - it does tend to corner a bit flatter and square up a bit quicker but like E says - it's easy to fit / disconnect so you can try it both ways in a practice sess.
