    sorry was just nice to see him make a mistake for a change

    on another note it would be epic to see you go this in depth with the car Ian (with two i's), would take a already class car to a whole new level

    I am reading with interest and having a think. Going to drop the front end down a bit with a thicker splitter while I ponder flat floors, rear diffusers and the likes.

    It's been refined since with the different exhaust I run and is now fully enclosed. Uses captive rivnuts in part too.

    Surely the point of track day cars are for a bit of fun on a track. Most of the things you're talking of doing aren't even allowed in most entry level track racing classes. Yeh, they'll work, but surely for a "non competative" track days, you're better off saving your money and time, and putting it towards another trackday.

    Where do you draw the line?!

    Just my 2pence worth.

    Yes in theory its just a bit of fun chucking the car about on track. However there's plenty of fun to be had in development, learning things around stuff like this, making it faster/handle better, reducing laptimes (taken off videos, no timing on the day!) and the sense of achievement associated with that stuff. If you're not bothered about all that stuff just buy a 205 GTI and sling it about?

    Cheers for the pics BRoad, very interesting

    Nooo, timing is a no-no on the day! I just take laptimes from the video footage.
