I hope it is the coilpack, that's really easy. It's the crank sensor which is more difficult. To be honest I'll be delighted if it's any of the ancillaries I can easily replace, and not something more dramatic (i.e. inside the engine!).

It sounds to be electrical though i wouldve thought, so fingers crossed its not going to be an internal issue as that would throw up a misfire all the way through the rev range wouldnt it?

That's certainly the logic I'm working with, so I hope we're right.

The photos have been really useful, as they explain the first of my 2 spins..........clearly I was completely out of control before I even got to the corner I spun on...........





























I'm putting this spin down to the new Tran-X LSD. It's a wild ride with a diff like this, and it does make the car weave, you really have to hold on. With the previous Quaife ATB it was very easy to drive, but lacked the ultimate edge that a plated LSD gives you.

Also driving a glorified kite must be a skilled occupation?

Looking good on the track Colin

Plated tran x diffs are really something else, wait till its a damp day and you really do go where the grip is ha ha, makes you feel like your weaving all over the place.

What heat rating are the plugs your using, I've known them be an issue when the revs go high also known turbo engines to blow out the spark!!

Just noticed with the very top picture whilst you were turning in your car was already on 3 wheels, this won't help much with under steer and the potential to spin if the other remaining tyre brakes traction?

Higher poundage front springs maybe?

tripodding doesn't cause under steer at all, the opposite in fact and is usually very desirable to give you more turn in hence stiffening the shells so much to get it lifting the wheel
