what a day!! :D the coilovers performed brilliantly, needed adjusting i had them way to low, and by the 3rd session i'd got them spot on.
it was organized by www.pumabuild.co.uk so there was more racing pumas there than anything else (10 or 12 i think), 3/4 porsches. 360 modena, a skyline 2 Zetec S's with puma engines in and a few other stuff.

i was faster than the pumas which made me happy as they are supossedly one of the best handling Fwd cars. both the ZS's were quite quick, one smashed his front end early on, then killed his gearbox racing me, and the other i raced aginst for a whole session, one of my mates was a passenger in the zs and another mate was in with me. we were both on the limits all the time, he had 130ish bhp, big brakes and was aslo on coilovers so it was very close racing, i was slightly quicker accelerating but he would reel me in once over 90/100, and round the bend's and braking we were about identical, i was getting away slightly every lap so in the end i was far enough infront that he couldn't catch me down the back straight. after the session he came over and said my tyres were sparking. lol. i need another set now. top one was part worn the one below hasn't done 500 miles
