Not exactly useless mate, a colour doesn't affect what it does. Granted it looks better but doesn't affect it's use

Tom just hammers Oulton Park, that’s all the car is for... He doesn't put it on a mirrored floor. Bit of a daft statement there buddy.

Function over form comment is good but the above that

Got some sticky new shoes at last

Got them from mytyres.co.uk in the end, they had them at the best price I could find anywhere




Have also fitted an adjustable bias valve for the rear brakes to fine tune them

Roll on Aintree on the 26th

Had a great day at Aintree yesterday, couldnt of asked for better weather, it was perfect

Car ran really well until it the afm started playing up, making it judder and hesitate to the point where we had to abandon the last session

Highly recommend the tyres, very soft compound and stiff side walls and they stayed consistant all day, they felt like blu tack

Video of one of the sessions:

Need to do a few things for next time, bigger front brakes, cold air feed to the air filter, sort gear linkage out and vent the bonnet.

Ah if your on about doing the circuit sprints then yeh you will need to get a B licence and join the LMC.

If you just want to do a track day there, then you book it here: http://www.liverpoolmotorclub.com/track-day-information/

Recommend you sign up for the email notification as it books up very quickly

When you fit the Corsa C drums, are the only exchange components the drum itself and the stub axle? Shes and everything else standard Corsa B?
