Do you have a quickrack fitted? I found it to be one of the better mods for handling with the 888's I had when blasting about on back roads ;)

I don't have a Quaife one, but a corsa B EPAS rack is 2.5 turns lock to lock to I got one of them instead.

I completely agree it does transform the drive completely, it went from being wooly and vague to direct and settled, one of the best mods I've done, without a doubt.

No worries Conor!!

Pansies indeed Iain........

If you want proper catch tank i have a very nice one. Grready polished thing with level window...

Got one thanks mate, just can't fit it until I get the other engine in cos the piston rings are so knackered it's breathing like an wounded rhino!!!! It doesn't flow enough air to stop the crankcase pressure from pushing all the oil out the gaskets!!!!

Ah ok dude.

This cracked me up lol

Few things have gone on.

Brands on Wednesday for another evening and then Cadwell on the 24th with Iain so needed to get a few little bits sorted.

Picked up another set of cesaros, will get them coloured when I've got 5 mins, ordered 4 888's that should arrive in time for Cadwell.

For Brands I'm planning to use some very scrubbed non slip slipalot T1R's that I picked up from Liam and Iain. Took them out for a spin tonight and encountered a rather large dose of over steer in a roundabout, something I've never had with the Uniroyals.

Also got my camera mount sorted, picked up a cheap £20 cam corder from ASDA to see if it was going to work.

Little bit of trial video footage.

Hopefully I'll get more than 12 laps in at Brands this time!!!

Nice trial run, love the induction roar. :)
360p resolution makes for a bit of a blurry image. Road signs are unreadable. (not that this matters lol) Any chance of upping the resolution on this camera without sacrificing too much recording time?
