It is interesting the debate about car setup. My car is obviously leaning all over the place, but I am actually really happy with how it corners. I am able to catch most people on the corners. I had an interesting conversation with a guy (whos name I forget), he drives a well setup 128 sedan. His comment was "I think I am getting away from you, then on the corners I look in my mirrors and its all yellow". Maybe my car is a bad cornerer but I'm just a little bit braver on the brakes
maybe that explains why I dont like road sprints...
I had an interesting conversation a few weeks back, it went along the lines of; if at a track day you dont go off at least once, you arent pushing hard enough
Another point to make about my car is that is has so far cost me about $3500 (total cost of putting together), thats about 1300 pound at the current exchange rate!
My next mod I have lined up are twin Dellorto 36DRLA carbs (before anyone points out that they are designed for a north south engine layout, I know and apparantly the fuel supply problems arent to much concern, Bevans blue Uno has these carbs), new head (big valves), new cam shaft. This is because my car is good on the corners but crap on the straights, so I need more power. Hopefully I can get a new gearbox as well (at the moment I leave it in 3rd all the time because gear changing costs too much time). Hopefully with these mods I can make up the 3.5s a lap between me and the uno turbos.
On another topic, Steve are you guys going to Pukekohe this weekend? Its the first round of the production series and Blair is driving his Punto. I'll be there on Sunday, I think the NZV8s, toyota racing series, formula fords, GT3s, and mini challenge are also running.
