    What front brakes are on this Iain? If its new pad time I can't recommend Carbone Lorraine RC6 enough. They are expensive, but you wont regret buying them.

    Wilwood Dynalites. Having discussed further with Paul, I may regret going with 1144s (which is what I use for road, in the hope I wouldn't have to swap pads before a trackday).

    I will probably order some further DS3000s as they're cheap and I know they work well for me, I can probably squeeze another day out my current pads but they're quite worn now haha.

    This is gonna be short and sweet as barely had any time to get pics together!

    I added some more stickers, I bolted my slicks on, and I took it to Blyton Park last Sunday 11th Oct. Proper laugh, with the mk2 Astra donor car bunch:

    And ended the day with this happening to my clutch



    Helix 4 paddle in the post.

    After a passenger lap in Paul's epic rally car (red and white Coconut court car), I realised I have loads more tweaking to do on my suspension as that thing handles better than I thought any FWD Vauxhall ever could, so look forwad to starting to tweak more to do with springs, damping and rollbars.

    Liking the stickers give it a more track look. Very impressed with the clutch, not seen that before.

    Didn't think you'd like the stickers Benn you never do!

    Forgot a track photo courtesy of Amanda!

    Nice job on the clutch!
    Keep replacing the broken parts with better bits

    Nice lap considering you had a fatty in the passenger seat :-)

    Glad you got the Helix - expensive but pretty much fit and forget I hope

    Thanks for the compliments on the car. The proof will be how we do this weekend at Donington. See you Sunday.

    Paul..
