Car looks great Chris, can't wait to see it on track at FCS this year! Let's hope the diff holds out!
Did you know your cars on the FCS 2011 flyers in it's old livery?

Yo James what's happe bud?, yeah if the car is still alive I wanna bring it to FCS as usuall this time with a gearbox that will hold out longer.
I did notice that my sax made it on the FCS 11 flyer, so that's a result.

Christ there is a lot of understeer isn't there haha! Looks very impressive mate and the driving looks good as well, nice use of a balanced throttle as you can tell its fighting back in some parts. Without reading the whole thread - has this got a diff fitted? Very impressed though, good work

That was an evo 8 by mcr with 496bhp
So I think the sax did pretty well.
On those days I just go up to play sliding and
Drifting, I tend to concentrate on better lines on open pit days but on the action days I like to go out show boating and harassing big cars.
It has no dif and the suspension is shockingly soft but it makes for a laugh and sideways fun.
Coilovers next I reckon!
Cheers

Yeah my bad on the air freshener peeps? Total didn't realise it was there till I watched the vid myself. I chucked that in over winter just to stop it smelling of sheep and cows and forgot to take it out!!
Coilover needed people if anyone had any for sale!.
Cheers.

Your suspension is shockingly bad. Great power but the chassis wobbles all over the place. Maybe look at some stock hatch suspension.

Yeah I totally agree bud, coilovers and adjustable top mounts would be awesome and a huge improvent in terms of drive wise. The car is built on a tight budget of what I can afford.
What would the score be on a set of coilovers and adjustable top mounts?
Cheers chris

looking good chris, in the video the car seems plenty strong enough engine wise. like you say, can save and sort the chassis out accordingly.
watching your vid has spurred me on a little now... need to get it running and get some trackdays booked.
what box is on there?
