Yes it quite a bit quicker now I think, handles as well with about the same amount of grip, although the brakes are no-where near the 310 kit. Main thing is the fuel economy is only about the same as the RS engine now. The V6 was loads better!  ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Front dampers were re-valved today for more damping and a whiteline 22mm rear arb added. Still got to change the front pads over to the dreaded RC5+.Fingers crossed the track day next week goes ahead so I can try it out. Current weather doesn't really show much as it goes sideways whatever really. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

No idea yet as i've had Lorna and Sam with me since its been fitted. Did go for a quick drive over the Evo/Top Gear/ 5th Gear test road above Llangattock today though and the whole car felt so much better. Really impressed me even though we weren't going fast. The damping is now a million times better and it all feels very tight. Steering is a fair bit heavier too which is good.Might get a chance for a bit of a play tomorrow, otherwise it'll be thursday. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I would be good for Wens, but the kents have cancelled it. Probably going to do Bedford in January instead. Give me time to change the front pads, lambda/coolant sensors and RR it again to check the fuelling. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
