Me too. I know the times are in the package to get there - just need to get a few things sorted to enable them to come out.

Hi Mike, good to see you at the weekend, shame about your boost pipe issues.

Would you mind telling me what kind of power you were running at the weekend, because i couldnt keep up down the back straight

Following you in the practice session, the car did seem to roll quite a bit through craners, and i was having to lift off/brake to avoid pushing you from hollywood through to coppice, so i think there is room for improvement in the roll of the car.

Sounds like you had similar luck to me in the qualifying, maybe next time at Knockhill we will both qualify for the superbattle.

recommened by John at whiteline, although i have made a small mistake in that it's a 24mm on the rear....

thought it odd to have a small 18mm bar on the rear.........

Great to see you again Steve.

I honestly have no idea..... but Zak's bum dyno, suggests around 430Bhp.
We are in the process of sending the turbo actuator away as it can't hold the boost at top end and backs off to 1.7Bar

Was understeering though.... currently waiting to chat to John and see what he recommends in teh way of camber etc.
Also have a circuit trainging day with Andy walsh next weekend, so will ask him to evaluate teh car and possibly take the old roll bars and swap, so that he can evaluate the which is better.

Nice one, i had guessed at mine being around 430 to 450 at best, with a big laggy turbo for that power level.

Hope you have fun at the training day, i havent got the time for one of those
