Yeah, you looked silly fast towards the end when you were out with just a few others..
Messing isnt the word, took me the whole of lunch to adjust them because i couldnt get the jack under lol

They worked a treat, was very surprised at them and the immense grip mainly around Gerrards.

Thanks for being a good sport with me being an arse behind you! At least you use your mirrors, some (thankfully few) others need to use theirs!

If you had 265 wide R888s / Direzzas / A048s etc you'd go round the bends as quick too! They might stick out a little past your arches though

I've seen the site, just off there for a browse now!

Not sure on Basky's motor spec wise, think it's mild / normal Cossie mods, but interesting to see how well Renault have sorted the Clio as more or less standard for you to keep pace with a modded albeit what 18 yr old car that you might guess at being quicker.

My old Pug 205 hassled a lot of bigger and better cars on track years ago, though only on the more twisty ones!

Times have changed!

Accusump is a quick and easy thing to install that can really help in that situation.

Thats all Rob was relying on in the astra on an unbaffled sump, and his was cornering very hard.
