Yes defo count me in, sounds like a very good plan.

We will have to sort a day out as soon as the weather picks up a bit.

Flying to the States in the next day or 2 and plan to bring back a 4.10 diff conversion which APT will fit for me.

I've heard good things about them and i'm looking forward to trying it out on track.

Right,

The car will be going to APT on the 6th April to have it's new diff fitted and given a fit bill of health with anything replaced that needs replacing, pads, bushings etc.

I have bought a set of Cups which will be going on aswell most probably getting a Tyre sure pressure/temp sensors fitted to the tyres whilst there being changed.

The cars first track action of the year will be on Monday 13th April at most probably Rockingham.

Shimmy (M3 CSL) is coming with me and anyone else is welcome to tag along.

I will report on how the car went after the track day, but i can't wait to feel the increase in grip the cups will give me after using Falkens.

Also looking forward to some more acceleration the new diff will give me.

Mr Staples should be getting worried....

bet you cant wait to get in it on the 13th,
will the cup tyres be ok to use in the sprint class that your entered (road going) just a thought as they might be classed as 1b's like the toyo 888's etc.. i dont supppose you have the msa blue book yet to check as it comes with your license.

Blacky told me that the Cups aren't allowed in my class, so i will change them over to the Falkens 452's aslong as they are allowed....

Picked the car up from APT, top work as usual.

Felt the effect of the new diff straight away. first immpressions were favourable.

After the 2 trackdays i can confirm i'm happy with it and it will be staying. acceleration has improved and i'm getting better drive out of the corners.

I had some new suspension settings to try and while they defo helped and improve the handling they further more showed me that the tyres are no the weak point of the car.

I will DEFO be buying some new track tyres next time home, most probably some cups but i'm toying with the idea of buying some 18" wheels and getting cheaper track tyres.
