Awesome write up as ever mate, I need to freshen up my full suspension setup think it’s going to need front and rear bush kit and a fresh set of coilovers too

Quite pleased with the BCs they all wound off fine...id copperslipped the threads previous...lashings of spray lube and a paint brush to flick out any grit and all wound off fine. rears are easy just unbolt...front have to seperate the wishbones and jiggly coilover out...
Got a tiny bit of play in rear control arm everything else is perfect but ive done the pillow ball bushes in this car. Just so nice that quality treated fastners that undue...if it was an rx8 it would be rusty crusty ceased solid after 25 years. Im still hanging though...my back is it bits...

Oh Nooooo... what have you done  ??? Coming off at Camp leaves you nowhere to go but nearby tyre and concrete walls  :(

Well, at least you are OK (I hope and assume!). Looks like it'll buff out OK ;)

Looks very damp there, so assuming that didn't help!

Pleased to hear no worse then that. Semi-slicks on a wet Camp corner was always going to be challenging!

As you say, done now and you're OK, which is the main thing. Step back for a while and decide what you need/want to do to the car. It's coming to the end of the track season and you've still got Westie for some fun, so timing could've been worse. At least you've had some good track times with The Rocket this year  :)

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Lol trust me...spanner time has pretty much ground to a halt, after all these ops im left with constipation and ibs...i got up at 4.30am to sort myself out so i could go today...thats that in a nutshelf for a family forum !...

Im home im a tad worried about chassis legs at mo...until i strip some bit off looks ok but got check.

Well it was raining and i should have gone in...and front brakes were shaking car like a warp disc....but on inspection run out fine...so prob needed a decent clean up...but i couldnt brake that hard to clean them...i usually push through it and they come back to me...

Shit happens as i said b4 no regrets i go on track days to go hard or go home...2 crashes in 20 years not bad.

Passenger front brake locked i went straight on by the time i was off brakes on grass steering and brakes no effect...

Left a nice 11...lol...
