    Eh up Dave

    Well it came back in one piece so that was a bonus!

    Really disapointed to be honest how it went. Plenty of poke and front end fealt ok but the back fealt awful.
    Had no confidence to push the car at all. Might just be the muppet behind the wheel to be honest.
    Dont know what to do to get a good balance front to back. If you have any ideas pass em on.

    You still going to TOTB at Elvington Sunday?
    Maybe see you at the weekend.

    Bad luck.
    Just going to offer a few points which you have probably thought about already but sometimes it helps someone going back over obvious stuff to refresh the memory about what has been done.

    everything secure and tight - subframe underneath ok?
    what tyres you running and what psi?
    what spring rating and damper settings - too hard on both will make the back jittery & tend to break away easier?
    got std or poly bushes?
    have you got a rear anti-roll bar fitted?
    camber and toe? u can use hack saw blades to alter these tho its not easy to set exactly as you want

    Hope this helps
