New Sportmotive chassis
Discussion
Right, I've now read through all the posts again and reviewed the test info from the Cranfield boys, and have the following question: What will be the best shocks/springs combo and geo setup for the Chim following the mods I'm about to undertake which will increase my cars torsional stiffness by 500%? Also, If I get the right setup will I really be able to corner 5 times faster than I can at the moment? In order to make the most of this highly impressive new (500% more) cornering speed will I need to do neck exercises like the F1 boys do, or is there a commercially available neck brace that I can get at somewhere like, er, say Boots? Also, will I need to get the sump baffled so all the oil doesn't go to one side of the engine when I'm taking the roundabout at the end of my road at, hang on while I work it out, umm, ah yes, 150mph? And lastly, any suggestions what tyre pressures I should be running?
Thanks in advance,
Chilli

Being serious for a moment (not easy for me), It is, for me, all about how much fun I can have driving my car, in particular on empty B roads where I can drive it through the twistys with some gusto, knowing what its limits are (and mine) and driving within them (or on the edge of them), knowing that it's not going to spit me out if I get it slightly wrong. Under these circumstances the occasional hanging the back out a wee bit, a tad of wheelspin powering out of the corners, and that glorious noise are all I need to keep that stupid grin on my face. It's all about understanding the balance of the car, knowing what its going to do next, and being ready for it that's more important to me than being able to carry more speed through a corner than the bloke behind me in his super stiff GT whatever. They all shrink to a small dot in the rear view mirror when we hit a straight anyway
