Default Adjustable Rear Beams are Awesome!!

Finally had all the little wiring issued sort so I picked the 3 Door up from DynoTorque saturday morning i'd already had it corner weighted and the geometry setup at Jacksons the previous saturday but other than the drive to DynoTorque to drop it off for the wiring I hadn't driven it and certainly not in anger.

All Saturday and Sunday i've given it a good shakedown and I have to say it's awesome, everything feels so tight and postive it doesn't go sideways unless you really provoke it and I mean really! So much grip the way it turns in the grip is amazing!
