continuing from the first post.

enjoyed myself quite a bit at FordFair so decided to book a full days worth at RS national day Donington.
as previously mentioned i had to replace the front subframe. The original plan was to fit polybushes, but i was slightly skint at this point after just shelling out on another set of wheels with road tyres fitted. So i ended up just sticking new wishbones on.

of course, had to check the alignment which was massively out.

unfortunately there were no professional photos being taken at Donny. But a friend did manage to get some footage following me in his ST150. Couple of vids below. (obviously i'm very new to all this, so any driving tips would be appreciated)

had a bit of fun on track with a pair of clio's...... one of which ended up rolling towards the end of the day. Driver was ok though




i ended up having a bit of a moment at the first corner on my second session. I must remember to warm my tyres up properly next time!!!
