Yeah it should be good fun. Two very similar cars modded differently. You have extra power, I'll have better brakes since you won't have your BBK on then. Handling both set ups very different.

Your not that far off power wise from me tbh mate. Your handling on the other hand is very track focused lol.

As I'm off up to Knockhill for a track evening soon, I decide I would buy some track tyres to help out. I managed to get these at a very good price, the two that will be on the front have loads of tread left and the other are about 2mm. This is what I got Yokohama A048's
So the R 19's went back on the car.
So I could get the TD's and A048 in the boot I removed the back seats, which I leaving out till after Knockhill. Once loaded up I went round to my local tyre fitters, 30 minutes later and my wallet £30 lighter I returned home with 4 of these.
I can't wait to test them.

I take it your putting them on the front, will it not make the your car oversteer loads?
We'll see, you have experience of Knockhill and I'll need to get use to track.

That's good, you've always got to keep an eye out for bargins.

Today I went down to Stattler's to have my ALK and adjustable ball joints fit and fast road geom. Stattler's done very good job and I'm really happy with the car now, for any future work on my car I'll be using stattlers again.
Awesome ALK, the SuperPro bushes pressed in to a stock housing powder coated red.
SuperPro adjustable ball joints.
And afterwards with a little bit of camber added.
So tomorrow I've got my car to load up with my TD's and off up to Knockhill to test the fast road geom and A048's tyres on the track. Can't wait its going to be a good evening.

So I went up to Knockhill last Wednesday night, It was a very good night. Knockhill is a fairly short curcuit, with a few corners on crests so you can't see the exit of the corner until your half way round the corner. It took me a good few laps to get a bit of a idea where to aim for the exits of them corners.
I really enjoyed the night and will be returning to Knockhill for a trackday in the future.
I'm really pleased with how my car performed. The handling mods, geom and tyres made my car feel like a complete different car to last time I was on the track with basically a standard set up.
Here is a few pics my mate got of me.

Was great meeting you mate. Gutted I couldn't have went on track more and had a bit of sport with you but my driving chasing Garry put a stop to that lol.
My favourite car of the night
Cheers mate, can't believe your turbo went bang. But like you said now you have a reason to go big turbo.
nice 1 kev,glad you enjoyed it
dont forget about oulton park next time
We'll have to get something sorted for oulton park towards the end of summer, a few people have told me it's their favourite track.
Great meeting you aswell. A bit sport would of made my night. Any news on your gearbox?
Aye mate. I'm taking it in tomorrow to let a guy have a listen to it. Pretty sure its the 4th gear synchro that's knackered, at least I hope that's it. I just need to set aside a week to leave the car with them.
