we had 8 cars so A heat all to ourselfs I was playing around with the rear Springs as the Last time I Ran it it was at Tamworth and the car was Lifting the inside front wheel at every corner so I was not a happy teddy [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

So time to do a bit of testing and after round 1 the results were

8	1	Ben Bridgewater	Non-Member	14 / 313.70	22.40	14.17

The rear springs did stop the lifting of the inside wheel but I think they are a little to hard as I have very little pod movment and the steering is a little to sensitive as coming down the straight just trying to correct it and I went from one side to the other side of the track hitting the barriers LOL

So 2nd round and not to much to write about really as I had nothing to swop / change try out untill I get some rear springs

So round 2

Disaster Now I had hardley any steering due to the frong wing spinning around and Jamming up [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

So final time and what should I do well I must admitt you really do need the spring upgrade kit as there is nothing else really to do or adjust except the front wheels Do need trueing down slightley

Some thing else to sort out in me workshop [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

So its Final number 1 and for this I wanted to add a Bit of addative on the front wheel
