Put AP's on the front in between showers last night, just got to bleed the fronts up, get the 300mm rears on, pick up wheels today. fit the other half of the breather on, fit rear strut brace on & get the turbo off to get it rebuilt by Danny@RAD oh & a quick set up. Should be finished on the 8th Sept
Dingy, you should be mid 8s in your car i would have thought.
Two friends i was with last time were both running the 8:40s, one in a not very modified golf fwd 1.8T and the other in a totally standard M3
Getting under 10 mins is a doddle in more or less any car, a guy on the vauxhall forum i use did 9:14 in a 1400cc nova, with probably not much over 100bhp.

Traffic is your issue.
I ran many a lap where the speed was better than my fastest time, however the traffic at certain points would spoil the time. I was regularily running in the 8:20's lap after lap with traffic however something around 8 on the head was available if the car was given a clear track.
Sub 10 is a piece of p!55 in a car that you know.

I recommend one sighting lap and then time every other.
Don't chase the clock, just time them all. This means when a decent one comes round, you have a time under your belt.
I'd LOVE to go there during a quiet day
