Car was fine except suffering terrible understeer in the wet which l think is due to the chassis at the back now being so stiff, did get it set up better eventually by altering the front rebound so will have to wait & see how it is in the dry. No chance to use any real power, was diffucult enough trying to get low boost power down !

Bondy, you are second in command of the forum in my eyes behind Tux so I already respect your opinion. so thank you for your advice. Taking the cats out sounds good to me.
Cheers Bondy.

Oh and Tux, are you gonna take that from Daddysummo.lol

Best regards to you all
Thanks for that, however everything I know has just come from this forum and me reading it. I've been on here for over 5 years now so see a lot of the same things so the info stays in my head. lol

There are a lot of guys on here doing great things to the cars, not just performance but developing ways to keep the cars on the road if parts become an issue. Its always a great read and I wish I had the time/Money to join them in this development. smile

Bondy,i can relate to that, i've been reading a lot on the forum in the last couple of days. It's too easy to get sucked into a thread. great place to pick up tips, can't believe i didn't think of it sooner.

Tux, thanks for the invite, sounds like a great idea although i work abroad and currently am not sure when i am coming home. if i'm back i will definitely come to say hello and check out some nice Nobles. Be good to see that green monster close up, never know you might even take me for a spin in it. ;-)

hope every ones had a nice day

ha ha, bad choice or words.

i was just looking at your Spa gig. Sound amazing. How many track days do you generally do in a year?

Hoping to do 5 or 6 depending on how the car holds up , Spa is our biggest weekened of the year but Silverstone is building up nicely !!!

sounds like a lot of fun. I went to silverstone last year for the f1. Camped out with a couple of mates, was a really good atmosphere. Great live bands in the evening, plenty of beer, camp fire, BBQ. Good times.

It was deemed that the bulkhead was the worst possible place you could put them, i disagreed and said i could think of lots of worse places to put them smile

Its easy, slam on the breaks and close your eyes. lol

Thought I might add that an M10 may well join us at Silverstone smile

Isn't it nice the way Thundercat does his posts like "Hope everyone is having a nice day". makes a change from that other thread running smile

Thanks bondy, you must have caught me in a good mood.

so how much track time do you get when you go to these events? i'm assuming it varies. I'm jealous of Silverstone and Spa, whose quickest on the track? (oh dear, this could turn ugly)

i'll just take a back seat from here and listen to you guys have it out.
