SiB is such a good car on track, good thing for us it made us realise how bad our brakes were as we were braking 50ft before SiB.
We know where our attention is going next

I know mate, i was only messing around

As our other descutions, everything seems to have 172 tax on it. Its about 700quid for anything decent, Its 500quid just for some semi resanble dampers

Me pleasure mate, Sorry about the lack of cooking untencls, Although the screwdriver and cut up beer can seemed to do a perfect job

I spent days before combe getting my dampers and spring rates right. Ended up with new springs and helper springs. Also rebuilt gaz gha dampers to adjust the bump. Slso plum lined everything up and torqued it all right. Have to say handling for me was an absolute success. Stuck like glue

Also spent some time getting brakes right. And again they were aeesome. Braking on the turn in markers. Still 30% on the rears might not of been too smart lol

but its interesting where some people start there cars for track

there is no way i could get away without checking torques and other bits after about 40 miles. I did run with 2 dodgy top moutn roller bearings though

i don't think puma is unreliable, just if there is 100% right, i'd rather spend all night doing it. In fact we did take til 2 in the morning, and then we cleared off to chippenhams 24 hr mcdonalds

Their arrival is imminent! Ish. Sorry, as said on Sat, my PC isn't able to deal with the camera footage. The memory card in the camera is bigger than my PC Hard drive for a start

When I finish work early enough (ie before 9pm) I'll take a trip over my brother's and he'll upload them for me. Will put a link up as soon as they're done
