i think the problem begins if i enjoy the whole track day concept, that i then need to consider making a car that will be more capable round bends and flat out all the time than trying to do it in a car that will be entertaining but possibly a fair bit pointless.

see what happens. not not be able to fix it yet. 2011 might involve an xe on tb;s though if i do fix it and have fun...................

I run a standard Gsi Nic, with gmaxx shocks, astra gte front spring 40 drop, nova back 60 drop, cav sri rear anti roll bar, cav slabs with tr5 dunlop moulded slicks medium-soft.
the big boys can take me on the straights, but I like to push them into mistakes round the bends or until they let you back passed.
I know you will love it Nic , because your competertive

dont need to go changing engines... but I suppose it may be more cost effective to sell yours for somethign more progressive/usable rather than ballistic

I'd still opt to keep that engine and work round it... turn the power/boost down and once you and the chassis are up to speed... wind it back up

OR.... keep your engine and throw in a stinky old disposable £100 XE to 'learn' the car/tracks with. Then once your happy with the handling and stopping swap back
