cheers bud
thanks alot all i can say for what it is , its a good car there were some top cars out there as you seen in my session and passed everything
right from Evo /skylines/lotus/cossies 4wd /2wd /porche/audi rs6/ ect ,so i couldn't be more happer
ok it was wet and i know this but thats when skill and car set up comes into play
i would have done very good even in advanced group to be honest
im well chuffed with it and very rare any of the big boys give you any credit anyway it breaks their heart to see a cheap shiter doing well

i suppose your right
the car owes me about 2k compaird to my cossie thats well cheap 
all it has is decent brakes /suspension/adjustable front arms thats it everthing else is standard
i bought the bits to make the car "handle" and "stop" thats all you need it's not all about big bhp
i rather spend money on the chassis where most of peeps spend money on an engine

Excellent
The standard wheel bearings take the slicks ok then?
Could I ask what car the tarmac spec coilovers originated from? As far as I knew, the F2 cars had larger diameter coilovers which would only fit their corresponding magnesium hubs.

Hi Mate
these are 42mm inserts that came of the grp a escort cos , if these had grp a bodies they wouldn't fit standard road hubs as grpa hubs are totally different
i had bodies made to fit my hubs then i fit the inserts inside of the new bodies ,job done
easy when you know how

N\A rulezzzz, good to see a MK5 overtaking some big bhp cars, i bet it's more reliable then your cossie mate, TOP JOB
If you ever decide to do the 2.3 conversion to your trackday you will have very much fun with the xtra loads of torque and the few pony's

how are you ? honest it a good little car and did well at donnington on the 29th in the wet
cheapish car and not to botherd if i bang it or not because theres not that much money tied in it only brakes/suspension
you should do a cheapish track car Kev you can have so much fun in them and they dont cost a fortune to run
put it this way i filled the car right up to the neck ..lol.. all it used was 1/2 tank all bloody day
if that was my cossie i would have used 4/5 gerry cans ..lol.. i have too make sure i have 1/2 a tank with the cossie because of fuel serge
