    Hey mate,

    I've been flat out working!! Haven't really stopped, plus after 10 years of practice our son was born on 14/2/20 so been a bit pre-occupied with him.

    However, I do have 4 trackdays booked between now and the end of August.

    I've also got my new top mounts to install, very sexy, along with a few other little bits and bobs to change that are annoying me.

    Main plan is to use it hard over the rest of the year and see where we are.

    I need some front brake cooling, front and rear wheel speed sensors for TC in the wet and I'm possibly looking at a complete re-wire.....again!!

    I'm also looking at sorting a storage unit for work and buying a motorhome so it's all go this end!!!

    Yours is looking mental!!!!

    Been a while but I've been pottering around!!

    Ben found a guy 3D printing shrouds for the Dash2 we both run.



    Should help with the glare.

    Also been waiting on the new top mounts to come in, Ben has had these machined up

    Originals





    Notice the circlip on the bottom and the step on the top.

    Meaning we could only get it over and back so far





    New ones are flipped over, something people do with the originals but we weren't happy with the whole load going through the circlip.

    Hence





    Bolted them on





    With all the settings the same, apart from lowering the bottom spring cup 15mm to account for the upstand being on the bottom, we went from 2 degrees of negative camber to off the gauge, which goes up to 7!!

    Dialled the adjuster on the shock to knuckle bolt to land somewhere around 3 degrees. More caster now too.

    I'll get a 4 wheel alignment booked for next week and fingers crossed we can get the setup where I want it.

    Brands on 23/7 so I'm nearly ready.
