James yes solo.mate. Race car sorry
corey yes i thought the car was going to be a wreck. Thought radiator and oil cooler would be done for.
I will updste eith some pictures at the weekend if weather is nice. Have left fuel lines as standard. Could save a few gram if i cut them down tho. ;-)
Will be in touch with faulkner soon. I want to send them my springs to see what lb they are. I believe theyre 250's but the front dives and lifts a lot under brake and acceleration. Whatever mine are id like to keep the same drop and go 50lb more heavy.
Been having some crazy ideas of removing the dash too and choping the loom down.
Will make a thread in track chat section. Keep eye out ;-)

crash damage repaired
not a lot to look at here. as you can see not bad looking at all. wing slightly iffy.
ride height adjustment, i wanted to loosen up the rear a bit so have raised the rear end 10mm. bit of a faff knocking out the bars just to adjust it that little amount but its got to be done and got to be done properly
before sits a bit too low...
now as it sits. i think just right
lol at how it looks no different. there is 10mm change lol.
looking forward to driving it again. been for a cheeky sprint this afternoon too.

car looks loads better without stickers... so glad you kept the face tho
considering how the car looked when your were back in the pits, that repair is very subtle... let the battle scars commence lol
is that still the mud on the tyres from when you was off??

Idk mate but surely there's a racing splitter or spoiler invented that can improve your aerodynamics for handling stuff?
