Arch liner deploid for faster terminal! ( see that huge piece mid air )

I thought it was a jacking point cover, that got wiped out when the liner hit it, I later learnt.

Sounds awesome as always Luke. Just walks past everything on the straights

What sort of changes have been made to the suspension? It's a miracle it manages to put any of the power down to be honest!

Running a nice smooth power curve in low boost so grips in 3rd -4th-5th 6th.

Needs front antil roll bar and an inline bias valve for the rear brakes next.

Mate is doing the vid of me driving I believe too.

Down shift is bloody hardwork. Just takes time/practice really but not easy when your trying to keep the thing under control.

What's been done so far with it? Seen it has adjustable top mounts, and obviously different dampers, but was wondering about lower arms and things like that, and the rear end too.

Going up the box you dont need to, just take foot of throttle (mili second) and choose your gear.

Just Gaz Golds on the rear and standard rear anti roll bar.

Up front its rose jointed lower arms, adjustable top mounts etc.
Although NO front anti roll bar and it needs one.

Will be bonding that in place shortly mate.

No TA for me mate, car needs a pasting first and I need practice on different circuits.

Great circuit Ron.
Yes needs one fitted tbh, as its struggles a bit on the bigger corners.

i thought that, but he looks to be running around the 59sec mark which going off last years times so comparable tyres he would almost be last.

we know theres alot of suspension work(arb for example) that needs to be done on the car though and im sure if he had a go at it, he would run much wider front tyres
