Hi guys,
Few pictures from my trackday at Donnington, this was very much a learning curve as i've done alot to the chassis and handling and didn't know how it would perform. Also need to get used to running a plate diff as when you turn in with the brakes on like i'm used to the diff locks a fair bit so it's difficult to get that initial purchase you need to get the front in. All mostly down to my driving rather than the car which performed flawlessly throughout the day.
The -3 front camber seems to be perfect as under heavy cornering the tyre looks pretty flat to the road so i'm happy with that.
Lap times came down from 1:58 in the morning to a 1:53.2 this is on a stock engine so with management, inlet and exhaust manifold and some brakes that stop the car  I hope to be in the 1:50 range
Next up are some AP racing/Stoptech/Tarox 4/6 pot brakes in time for Oulton, may try and do another day before then too 
Heres the pictures anyway.
Oh And not to forget the "kill" list:
R35 GTR
Ferrari F430 Scudderia
Clio V6 on ITBS
Cheverolet Corvette
BMW M3
Caterham Don't know model
PS - Kill list is a joke :roflmao: I did go past the cars when they were going for it, but if driven properly i know they'd be miles quicker :roflmao:

Me too. Its so nice to see one of these in another colour rather than red, red, red, black, silver, red, red.
Car looks great as well.
I've never done the Melbourne loop before. Don't know whether I would or not tbh.

It's horrible, especially in a car that likes sweeping corners 
I don't think many got on with it, bottom hairpin i had to deep to get a good exit and it worked but still didn't enjoy that part of the track!
