https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biWq1ah2Jho&feature=plcp

heres my excuses - track was wet, tyres was cold, couldent get traction, a deer run out in front of me!

the damage the curb done to the car was abit of a pain, pulled the oil pipe off the sandwich plate, so had to do an oil change at lydden, then the boost pipe kept comming off on my second run

lt was a damp day, it did dry on the track in the race lines but was a bit iffy when you go abit wide and hit a damp section of the track. l did spin round once where i went too fast into one corner and had a little tank slapper (same corner daz spun it) as i went abit wide and went onto a damp area of track.

Other then that was good fun, tyre grip was very good and could pretty much out handle most of the cars on every corner

haha yeah it does rear up on full throttle. l need to fit uprated dampers which should help stop it, as current ones are just standard stock Gti

Great photo's and the car looks very planted. Uprated shocks have a great effect on track, helping with the turn in feel. My Sleeper is on standard MGF's but think i had or to swap the AVO MGF's off my SI if i do too much more track work. Well worth upgrade for the track.

You have a double rear antiroll bar set up dont you? I think this is my next upgrade as these photos resemble those of Sacha's old SuperT with the rediculas oversize aniroll bar.

yeah still have the twin rear arb on it, daz was using yoko a048 in 175 50 form with zr160 with lsd box and yeah well too short.
The reason why he spun out imo was all the wheel spining warming up the front tyres giving him good front grip and rear tyres would of been stone cold

Yeah next year now will fit my rear turrets in, Daz is thinking of fitting a moddified front subby in the rear (like an mgf but engine in the front) so will be wishbone all round

C4 gearbox is good in 2nd in the dry and with good tyres but slightest bit of wet then 4th needs abit of feathering on the throttle, got a non vvc mgf box to go in over xmas break so should be abit more controllable, these vids make mine look quite slow compared to seans

On about that mg tf subframe in the back for the wishbone and disks, any one see any down fall with it, if I do Sean you and Brenda can buy the shocks £25 per 1 shock
