Since my last track day I have had van mapped at Courtney, new rear pads, general service and Gaz golds fitted, they have been speced to suit van mods and track use . . . It's nearly undriveable on the road now so hoping its gonna be good on track,
Forecast looks good also. . . Even tho I was hoping for rain.
If anyone is in area its good fun even to watch wot other cars are there, pop and say hi if you do come along, I am planning to kill my current set of slicks tomorrow . . Not much life left in them, lol
Few pics
Cheapy and new coil over unts, 450lb springs. Stiffffff
Wheels with new colours scheme
The van. .
Few on track pics
Hopefully the day goes well. . And no dramas.

True,. . I did start a thread bout 4years after I started project and never got it up to date . . . Think if I got it up to date I would keep it up to date, will try get it done this next week . . . It needs doing your right.

Think any normal car could out handle the van at the moment on normal roads . .
It a great speed restrictor tho . . . Go over 60 and hit something in the road like a cat eye and u know about it, hahaha.
Think it will be taken off road at end of month. . .only done 2k miles in a year . . And 500 of them were done in a day going to Courtney and back.

I just told Gaz spec of van and wot its used for and they sent out wot they recommend, the kws were quite comfortable . . . Even on stiff setting. These are uncomfortable on soft setting on the road and don't move when set stiffer. Also the Gaz are simpler to adjust and can do it all without taking wheels off etc. so hopefully can experiment bit more.
