I'd say speak to Zoo or possibly Mike R (although he didn't have comp' struts) as he had a few sets of figures from his own testing (not guessing - just for Mike, that bit ).

I thought i heard a load of tyre screechin, it was a quick little thing round the bends, couldn't you get passed it on the straight or was it too far ahead

What the fook is in that fiesta apart from a turbo lump? i no its a lighter car but has he done the full monte & chipped/cam'd/port & polished the thing?????

i was well quicker on the straights
but i did not want to spoil his fun so let him past as he was quicker on the bends
i had too much air in the tyres and it was understeering ive never had the car under steer before
he looked like he new the track aswell only had ten minutes on track but it was good fun
thanksjc

did you not keep a record of all the settings i gave you last time
it went something like;
rear camber 45 degrees
rear castor 20 degrees

"wait a minute foz,let me get apen"fuckin class


anyway,youll need more than your camber setting if you want to catch the "JEVO" on tuesday

lots of love"The Sprint King"

I think Mike R has all the settings available from his old 2wd Saph, give him a call!
