Thanks for all the comments guys

Just got back from an awesome time at snetterton with the 5 and the mates mini.

Started off quite nervous this morning.
Went the start the car and broke the choke cable lever... doh!
Anyways we got to snetterton without a hitch.

Highlighted a few issues whilst out on track:

The front brakes started pulling left and faded near to the end and they really weren't up to the job.

Very understeery at times, which i think is my inexperience at driving around tracks but can't help to think i could do with some extra camber and poly bushes on the front wishbones raise the torsion bar up and get a good geo setup done will help alot.

And i need a new clutch cable.
Altho i got home fine... reverse, 1st and 2nd was becoming very hard to select.. reset the self adjuster and all the gears are fine again :s so i'm guessing the cable is just old/stretchy and past its best and disliking the uprated clutch lol

I set an rev limit which started at 5500rpm and at the end of the session we was doing 7000rpm as the car was loving it

I think i've caught the track day bug...
