Apart from styling the GTR body... not a lot really.wink

He does everything from chassis design and fab through body design and I think also race prep.

Will leave others to say what other bits he has been involved with.

My car has gone to him for full suspension setup and to have the bump steer sorted before I crash!!! I think there is quite alot of work involved in dialing out bump steer and he even machines the steering arms and the brackets on the hub to get it correct.

Dilley, you will be amazed at what a difference Steve will make to your car, he had my Canam for a week to do excatly the same a couple of years ago and the car was transformed when he finished with it, without a doubt the best "mod" that I made to the the car in the time that I owned it.

I think quite a few people on here have been using SS for years..... his work comes from word of mouth and I really can't recomend him enough.

Having the car set up by him will transform your car.

Bad luck with the trailer. I had a simular prob when moving my car during its build. Not only did I higher a trailer that was not wide enough I had to also higher a transit van with towbar to tow the damn thing all for no reason what-so-ever, £90 down the drain. Live and learn.
