slower down 1/4 mile than white one

doesnt feel torquey, got no real kick, lacks x factor

no, a corsa can handle very well, as mine did around the ring, but only handles well 4 up....so got to work it out

going to try refitting a front arb

spacers on front, and put some neg camber on, and see what happens

Is this one just understeery because it has more grip then the old one though?


You got a thick Rear ARB?


Also negative camber on the front will make it more grippy so understeer more. Or are your fronts just sliding wide? as this is what the main problem with the CTR was until I fitted camber bolts. Think I ran 1.5 degs of negative and it was 100% better

yeh gavin front has no camber, where the back has 1.5-2 degrees

and i think the front goes positive mid corner, not good!

so need to get some 10mm spacers on there and give it some camber! then redo the tracking
