Here is the latest addition:
Damn, that's no Fiat. I could have gone lol
umm, you mean 70 surely, bit of a typo there..But yes I am enjoying the power, she is suprising lots of people on the motorway as she breezes from 60 to 90mph

Nice. Certainly a lot of holding on required through the corners! Just as well you had a steering wheel to hold onto I suspect!
In the the vid I can't hear your car, but can hear everyone elses? Can hardly tell when you change gear!
Cadwell park looks like the most fun, might try that next perhaps!
On another random note, I decided to weigh the car today using a highly suspect method of bathroom scales!!...773Kg (bit more than I thought but not too bad) and 20 Kg heavier on the drivers side, and 257kg rear weight and 516kg front. Got something to use now for getting the suspension set up. Should be fun :devil:

I did something similar when I setup my Westfield (now sold). Any incline does have a large effect of course! Scales are so cheap, probably £5 or less each? But at this price they can be pretty wild.looking at it though, some the imbalance could be due to unlevel ground.
BTW where did you get all the scales from? you didn't just go out and buy 6 scales did you lol.

I think this is a useful exercise bearing in mind the limitations of accuracy of course. Given the racing pedigree of Pandas, perhaps this is about right!
Hi Si,
Was good to meet you at combe and glad so see a part of a running Y10 somewhere!
Also just noticed you said about a good lap of combe, I did some around 1.28's running budget tyres and manage some around 1.25 with some R888's with full interior, just decent suspension and brakes and about 10bhp over standard..
The 1.25's were on action days so traffic to deal with and the other times on a full day so sometimes totally empty track!
That was in a Clio mind..
I didn't ever time it when I did Combe in my Cinq turbo as that would of been a good comparision!
