Default And i thought it handled well before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got the 205 back from having the rear beam rebuilt with Group A bushes, Solid mounts ect......Had it dropped a little aswell.

FUCK ME does it handle now

I thought it was awesome before and that was with a knackered rear beam so i am looking forward to seeing what it is like with the new set-up on it

Big up to AB Motorsport, they are the daddies with 205's

Roll on the next trackday on the 13th..........

If 1min 28sec is 100% accurate then youd be only 1/2 sec off 3rd place in class (and fastest FWD in that class by the .5sec) at Tuner GP earlier this year, which is pretty remarkable

Later in the day i knew i was going a fair bit quicker round there as NOTHING past me on one of the sessions and i had lernt the car/track abit better...(Shings was onboard at the time)

Jake has a few of my afternoon sessions on Video so he is checking them asap

Just rose joint the front wishbones - saves doing a 309 front end swap, and will make it handle even better...

After just doing the rear beam why would you want 306 rear arms ?

Rich, Im just still glad you have your car.... finished or not
