Diff thing makes sense. Seeing as I think mine has just blown up and needs replacing might be the right way to go plate. I'd been used to major torquw steer and the equal shafts heavilly reduced it so plate can't make it worse than before surely.
Had a good day, despite the foul weather, was good to meet you olly and big thanks for letting me know about the day. Shame about the problems, but at least you got back ok and will get sorted.
The car is awesome, loved it, sounds mint paired with the straight cut:D
Glad your car was ok Iain aswell, can't believe the rain held off while we got it sorted.
Bloody Novas heylol
Anyway heres a few piccies I got

Doing some lap time analysis from camcorder footage, proves me wrong.
I "obviously" (come to think about it) wasn't quicker in the pouring rain, than I was in the dry, however it felt like it in comparison to those other on track.
Entry speeds were alot slower than if it was dry with 888s on etc.
Anyway, here is another spreadsheet screenshot, I did more laps than these, but alot of red flags, people spinning out meant we had to come back in etc, so I've only done the timed laps on those complete full laps, not including first or last, obviously as standing start on first, and cooling down lap on last.
1m 46s was my fastest, and it was with my Mum in the car :), reason for this (i think), it was after a red flag, I was at the front of the queue ready to go out again - thus I had no traffic in front of me, so nothing slowing me down.
Will upload a selection of vids, later or tomorrow
Here are the figures:

Anyway, glad you had a good day and brought the car home in one piece:thumb:
Just to give you an indication on what a car fitted with an ATB will do around there in the dry, mine was lapping in 1:26 in traffic last year(First time I had driven there). Just TB's & ATB diff (No SCCR box).
Yup, sounds about right, mine was 1m 30s, Standard XE and ATB
Apologies about getting it wrong about you and plate diffs
Blimey, that looked saturated! Glad to hear another good report on the rainsports, i may well give them a go as my wets next year.
Looked like a belting day despite the weather though! Look forward to the vids!
Just sorting some vids out now... the vids I upload aren't probably going to be my fastest laps, as they are when no other cars are on...
Just sorting some out now!
Glad you had a good Olly, shame I could'nt get down, but had a last minute car to deal with and then a previous commitment.
The car sounds awsome through the gears, it seems to just get better and better.
Were you getting the rev limiter in 5th?
