Been a while,
Went to do Cadwell Park but had a few problems and had to cancel it, so booked Llandow which was today, nice to see a few faces from here!!!
Firstly I bought some wheel bags
Because it started raining first thing today I actually had a chance to fit my speedline comp 2's with Uniroyal Rain Sports
Really impressed with the amount of grip I had from these, the track seems grippy as most were commenting on so not sure if the grip I had was due to the tyres or track but I could throw it into the corners like I was in the dry.
Here's a load of photos from the day

As I've said many times before Dave, I really like this car. Looks like such good fun to drive. Hope everything is still running well 
Bill the grip out there I was throwing it about like it was dry!! Very grippy track in the wet!
I've Bilstein collies (non adjustable damper ones) Neuspeed 25mm front & 28mm rear.
James sadly the manifold as gone again this time I've found a hair thin crack on the first collector coming off the engine.

Been collecting a few parts for the list of work I've got for the winter months.
Going to relocate & replace my battery, few of you will remember my tiny battery I had a few years back. I replaced for a slightly bigger dry cell battery because my alarm was draining it too quick. I still have that smaller dry cell so going to relocate the battery from the rear of the car to behind the passenger seat.
I've had enough of disconnecting my battery all the time so going to fit an isolation switch
Also having problems with my rear locking up under braking so going to fit a brake bias valve.
Purchased two sets of aero bonnet catches, my current set on the car are going to be fitted to the boot lid because I've had enough of pulling the cable to open the boot lol.
And these new set are going to be fitted to this
Fibre Glass bonnet, OEM bonnet weighs 12kgs this fibre glass one weighs just 2kgs.

Eibach makes springs to uprate Bilstein coilovers?? That's new to me, thanks for the offer but I'm happy with what I have.
Be honest the only photo I can see the car leaning is through the bus stop which is very tight in 3rd gear... Looking that the tyres the lean so from the wall of the tyre more than the car.

Yeah they do i paid 280for all 4
60mm ID spring 10 inch long (to do away with the helper spring) 340lb rating (mine are 90lb spring plus 7lb for the helper standard) mine a damping adjustable and wanna get slightly shorter springs
Never fitted em but cant sell them for 80quid on e bay
Well I didn't know that... Learn something new everyday, I have a think about it.
What did you order them for? Track use or just wanted to go stiffer.
How come you never fitted them? How much lower do you want to go? Mine are half way and think that's enough lol.

I didnt know till i emailed jjc rally they were really helpfull
Intended for Track and road use, but 10 inch long springs wouldnt give me much adjustment for lowering it
But hayho lol
Looks as if yours is good fun

Random question. what's the reasoning behind going from 5th to 4th to 3rd, rather than straight from 5th to 3rd?
Engine braking for one & also dropping from 5th into 3rd too soon isn't going to be good for engine or gearbox!
Then blipping the throttle before changing into the lower gear keeps the car balanced and better for the gearbox to match the higher rev's before lifting the clutch.
