Mapped with new turbo actuator....

STI type RA quick rack fitted....
Replacement bushes all round....

thats a big step but I think will be well worth the expense on the gains.

Not much to do really then :thumb:

just watched this and yes it was better than last year . but i still thought it did not do you guys justice who have put so
much work , effort and money into competing in this. from a viewers point of view who also had about 1% of input into
one of the competing cars i would like to minimize the time given to driver interviews. podiums and feature one other each week,also i would like to see more laps of cars run with the clock giving sector times ( example moto gp which gives coloured crashhelmets for your different sector times ) which would give the viewer something to follow with in car and external shots giving your sponsors a bit more coverage , after all its not racing it is time attack

just my 2p thats all nothing else

cheers

I thought it wasn't too bad. The early footage was way overexposed or was that intentional? The interviews seemed a little strained with poor old Pavlo being left to get on with it almost.

Caught a glimpse of Duncan's car but had difficulty recognising many as the picture seemed to be squashed, making an Impreza look almost sports car like.

Poor Pavlo was suffering from not having slept for 4 days before the event trying to get the car ready. The interview did go on for a wile but then I guess it is only fair as zen got zero coverage at all last year despite winning it.

I thought there was a good split between club and pro which was nice, but for a 30 min prog it would be difficult to make it spot on.

Noticed John Felstead's brief appearance, twice

Paul really does need to organise his sleep patterns a little better. :-D
