Hi guys,

Yes j. original tsw evo's 'old skool car - old skool alloys'

In the morning we were running 16" tsw hockenheim's with uniroyal tyres, however the track was only damp and not wet so they gave no grip at all. So much so that in one photo you can clearly see the inside rear wheel off the ground.

She handles pretty well at the moment even on the limit. She is set up to give understeer as this is safer whilst we are still developing the car and learning different tracks.
You can turn into a bend at speed and if she understeers a slight lift off and the front will grip and tuck in with the backend remaining stable.

She is taxed and road legal as we often drive her to car shows, plus with still developing the two engines after each stage i like to bed the engine in gently for a couple of hundred miles before thrashing it round a track.
Plus she is an old girl built by 2 non mechanics by trial and error :)

When we go to a track we're driving hard and not worring about how will we get it back :)

Oh.... You can still get back end out at will :grin:
