306bhp, most powerful sc yes, there were more powerful turbos out there but they were slightly heavier.
i think the fastest car was max's 300bhp s/c but it weighs 810kg and mine 860kg.

left a comment on the vid then read that on here that it was early on.
Yup, the car did look a bit skitty.
Did you find applying more power during the corner (not full throttle) helped to keep the rear end stable. Going into the corkscrew in gear with no throttle would see that arse out moment you had I think.
Still not done that corner  only the full track

when i had that little moment i turned in a bit too early and then as i turned in a bit sharper thats when it let go.
on the left of the entry there is a white triangle shape and if you hit that then turn in its fine, im just gutted i only recorded my worst session

vid didn't look too bad considering you said it was early on... certainly passing most things out there - even taking it relatively easy.

That charger whines more than Ben G's missus
What's the verdict on the spoiler and splitter after using them on track?

i think they work but without trying them back to back its hard to say, i felt i was more planted than some of the other lads with similar power.
i really dont know.. looks cool tho lol

Looks well Chris, I'm gutted you did Island and not the full circuit so I could compare times
You've got also got me thinking that my TVL car should be one of these and not a Corsa 
Cheap for a tatty one, which wouldn't worry me.

i was using my speedo loads to see how well i took the previous corner. if i was faster i knew id taken the previous corner better.
i think im going to get a video box thing, how much are they? not bothered about video, just want to see my data.
