I am sure some magic was involved, but unless you have the confidence in the car and it is suited to how you drive then the results wont come.
That is what I have found the 'magic' to be - he has a great way of understanding what you want and how to get it to suit you. Sounds like he has done that here.
How was the oil useage? - have you got to the bottom of that?
Thanks Stu
Duncan, You're cetainly right about confidence. First track day, a couple of years ago, the car handled like a camel and on a bend, would go into violent oversteer at a slight lift of throttle. All the talk of 'keep it planted' was an enigma as there was nothing
I could do to catch it. After countless Whiteline bits, suspension upgrade, decent tyres, geometry, etc. It's totally transformed. Confidence has gone from very wary to gung-ho :-D and it's so much more enjoyable.
The oil issue continues to baffle me. It really is all or nothing, as in, 100mls/ltr or nothing. Your consumption is different to mine as I don't know where it's going. I certainly wouldn't want what's coming from the breathers back in the sump. It's a small amount of very thin 'paraffin' for want of a better description.
Be interesting to see how it goes on Weds. Virgin's Night, if I can get Liz to 'give it some'
