What ride height do you run at the back? There is something wrong if they are that far into the arches

Exit of the pit lane though yep?
The rears arn't locked so assume it was in the process of pulling it (although highly doubt the photographer was that lucky!), which will make the back squat anyway, with a bit of throttle it will lift the front end too. Id say that there is nothing wrong other than the fact its probably a bit soft.
Whats your setup?

Looks normal to me Mac. Here's a pic of mine from the front end on a hairpin.You can see the inside rear lifting which means the outside rear has the full weight on it so will be compressing the wheel up into the arch. With the lighter rear end in a rally car, you can't always assume thicker ARBs will fix things as they will just cause the inside to lift more. I'd be experimenting with different torsion bars too. If you can get a few different ones then a decent mechanic with you who can swap them quick enough, you'll see what results you get on the test day.

Tell him to buy a power probe...... I think you may be right about the negative feed..... I built mine from scratch and built a fuse board with a relay for the indicators..... that said, I think your sparky should suss it out, Find the common feed to the switch and put power to it... then find the power outs from the switch wiring with lights, fogs and flashers etc.
