think some one needs to come up with a revised mod for the chassis ,may be worth doing when the body is off.

Yeah Buy a Cerb wink It is night and day over the Chim/griff Chassis in handling terms Or as he says some sort of roll cage must help.

It was the amount of steering input he was having to do on relativity straight roads that got me eek far to hard a set up for the roads.

Is that an effect of poly bushes making it way too pointy?

Probably a combination of various factors at a guess shocks/springs to hard, Polly bush's will reduce flex as well so it will be much tighter and every pot hole rut the car will follow that little bit more i guess.

Lots of people slag off the standard set up but on our less than perfect roads IMHO I think it is better set up until road tax money actually goes back in to the roads. Fair enough if your doing track days every weekend but for a road car it is quite hard to get the right set up just now.

And i bet some of the T car are light years ahead again than the Cerbs/Chims/Griffs

Like the T350'S Tams and sag.
