No LSD for me - just 70mm lowering on coilovers, slicks, very light wheels and strut braces upper and lower

Got adjustable rear arms going on next weekend, full samco hose set and an enlarged and lightened crank pulley (if I can get a tool - grrrr). I'll be ready for you hehe.

Yes, cant wait til the move, and to get into the double garage and really get to play!!!

Cant book in til the soliciter gives us a contract signing date

Sounds like a few extra horses with that enlarged crank

The engine does rev easier afterwards.

Have you changed your rear roll bar yet? although i'm sure your 70mm drop has made quite a difference with a lower centre of gravity.

Not yet no, but i'm tempted to order one this week in time for the rest of the work to be done. Hopefully doing the charity day at Coombe (if i can get hold of the organisers as ive tried 4 times lol) on the 27th jan so need it all done by then.

If you do just dont go too stiff on the back or it will be horrible to drive in a straight line on our lovely roads.

Have to say its currently got plenty of lift off oversteer, :o so might not bother until I can afford camber plates for the front and get the whole lot sorted properly :twisted: . Need to behave myself cash wise until the new house is sorted or the wife will have my balls in a jar... :cry:

Great comment and very true.

So if yr following him then yr behind him on the track as in he's ahead?

So it's not the LSD that makes the difference then just driver skill and ability?

Just my 2p worth - nothing implied here
