Just been to the Nurburgring in my 97 16v, heres how it did.
Drove it 500 mile, it never missed a beat. Weitec suspension firm but not harsh, Janspeed exhaust almost silent at 70-80 cruising speed.
13 mile of widow maker and it was awsome, passing a 05 reg type R and an old bmw 3 series 318is.
The suspension set up was very netural the back seemed to step out but very easy to control. Not sure if Front and rear Strut braces made much difference.
Toyo TR-1's had alot of grip to give, only suffered minor understeer when i went in too hot, and when i did EBC brake discs and Green Stuff pads were ok, i think the pads were on the limit though, and did give alot of dust/noise.
Exhaust did seem to rattle and give some vibrations when going round, which ive never had before which is a little annoying but not the end of the world.
11minutes round which isnt great but thats my first ever lap and some porsches got in my way i think a 10min30 would be achievable but i didnt want to tempt fate as it got very busy.
And then it drove the 500 mile home without any problems. All in all ive fell in love with it again lol. my friend video'd my lap hes just got to drop it on a disc for me then ill post it up.
