  • Looks great. Have you made a decision about cooling for the rear brakes?

          How do you handbrake turn and cross the finish line going backwards then.

            Pretty easy to do as well.

            Which track are you going too?

                  Speaking to some of the guys in the 106's and saxo's at FCS said that's what they do so got to be worth a try.

                      • Jamie's build.

                        Couple more jobs done this afternoon.
                        Short shifter fitted.
                        Engine stabiliser mount stiffened.

                        Makes the car feel much tighter now.

                          Well it was a frozen sunny morning at Donington.

                          Car performed so much better this time out, better handling, better stopping and the acceleration out of the turns.....wow!
                          The Jamsport ST180 ate my dust down the straights lol.
                          Did the brake cooling work? Well I didn't suffer with over heating this time out, but there's a lot of other contributing factors like different circuit, the weather etc which may have helped.
                          Handling was the biggest improvement with an increase in tyre pressures, set at 32psi(when hot) all round now.
                          Great day other than the R56 clan putting there cars in the gravel trap at Craner every other lap.
