looks spot on Sam, oh and I miss those green wheels.
So I learned of a chassis setup place not far from me and spent a few hours this afternoon there with the car.
A proper old school setup, in a barn on a farm, his beard is epic and his knowledge/fabrication skill is incredible.
Had it weighed and with me sat in the car with full interior and a full tank of fuel it came at just over a tonne with a 70/30 weight distribution.
The man Dave was very happy with how the car was setup and didn't really want to change anything, he said it was spot on for a base to work with, all the setting front and rear were exactly how he would have them for a fwd car.
He did however adjust the corner weights to get the percentages within 1% either side, one of the best he had done in a long time.
Then on the way home after driving for about 8 miles down a track about as wide as the car we encountered this :/
2 feet deep in the middle!
After removing someone's gate and half the front bumper we got it turned around and made our way back to a proper road.
Booking a Track for early September so will see how the car handles.

Another track day down, at Hullavington Airfield this time, never done it before and to be honest I dont think Il do another much prefer proper circuits.
Had no issues at all through the day the car was perfect.
Had a guy walk past it after the first session and crouch down looking for an intercooler
