    That is just what mine did. Changed lanes on a roundabout with out me steering. Scarey as funk.

    Well the idea is to hold the steering wheel when cornering

    Have you worked out what I stole from this car at Billing yet?

    Went to Bedford Autodrome last month. Car didn't feel overly great and wasn't really suited to the circuit so no interesting footage to show.

    Will be taking the car to Mallory again on the 2nd Sept so I've prepped the car ready for that. Should be a good turnout of Novas.

    The car is now on 375lb front springs and 300lb rear. I've removed the inline bias valve to the rear and put Carbon Lorraine RC6+s in the front Wilwoods and bled through wtih new Millers 300+ fluid. They feel very good on a road test.

    Cosmetically I've changed the look a bit and gone for unpainted grey bumpers. Mirror caps and skirts are painted in UPOL mid grey until I can source some unpainted ones.



    Rainlight is now mounted under the bumper for ease



    Bumper is de-ironed and mounted on M12 and M10 bolts with a 4mm hole drilled in them and an R clip.



    Front is the same. Astra mk4 splitter.



    Mirror caps and skirts in UPOL mid grey until unpainted ones can be sourced.







    Also trying a helmet hammock for somewhere safe to put the helmet between sessions.

    Great day out with Andrew, Craig and House off PNG. Nice to meet Jonlem too despite him butchering my Volvo vacuum hoses for emergency repairs on the day

    My changes worked very well:
    Carbon Lorraine RC6 pads - awesome, brakes felt great all day
    300lb rear spring rates (375 front) - very planted feeling with a bit of damping increase front and rear

    Pitted with House and Andrew, Craig went all posh and nabbed a garage



    Jonlem's friend/apprentice/relative/lover (not sure which ) captured a few shots which can be found here: http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthr...sers&p=2293973

    Couple of my beasty from the pics since it's my WIP





    I was capturing footage all day, this is the most interesting I've got where I'm chasing Craig around. Fair play that car shifts and I generally only caught it when traffic was involved!



    And if you watched the video all the way through, you'll notice a tonne of Novas all attempting to settle their positions down a very short straight at about 3 min 20 sec
