Get your tracking checked if you havnt already done so. Im surprised the tyre fitter never said to. If you alignment seems ok then id start looking for play in bushes etc. Stuy might know better though cause hes got one.

Curborough is only a little sprint circuit. The lap record is below 30 seconds i think. Something like 28 seconds or less in a bike engined 7 kit car.

And Craig, i really cant tell you what was going on. It wasnt a clever thing to be doing really. But im sure you can work it out for yourself.

It looks like theyre staying orange now.

I need more rubber out back too so once ive paid my road tax im saving up for some dish and a few more inches. A bit of Manji up a road is good fun but not when you have no choice. Actually, no thats a lie, it is good fun but in the same way being shot at is.

A few parts are on their way to me soon smile

steering boss with a snap off kit and a wheel. Not too bothered about the wheel cause Tony gave me a nice one (cheers mate :)) but i need the boss. the snap off bit might make the wheel too close though so we'll have to see.

Got a short shift lever too, and a vented headlight cover to get some more cold air into the intake.

Shopping list at the moment keeps changing though. Currently looked at ICE. Nothing silly though, itll weigh. Just a new headunit and door speakers. I want quality over noise though, and an SD slot. Hopefully ill be booking some seat time towards the end of the month too smile

Got these to fit when the wheels next come off. It wont be long by the way ive been driving it recently smile the rears at least.

[Linked Image]

Got a proper MOMO quick release steering boss here too. Not fitting it as itll make the wheel far too close (ive only got ickle legs). Really really good quality. £40 fits the usual wheels. It pushed right in, further then the pics, but ive got the nuts in there so i dont loose them.
