    It's a real shame you can't do over night stops. That's what makes it, really. A nice afternoon in the bar, plenty of banter and then dinner for about 20 of us, makes it a great social. 

    Where are you based? 

    If I spend an afternoon in the bar drinking I wouldn't be out of bed before midday never mind driving lol

    I am in Urmston probably not far from you ?

    16" would alter the gearing as well does anyone use them?

    Hi

    I would do the  TSS but the events are a long way away and I can't really do over night stops, the big benefit is more runs and not having to have fireproof overalls,gloves etc but I already have them so a moot point I guess.Also the regs are freer.

    Any idea of the calendar for next year ?

    I will have to wait on tyre lists before choosing tyres as like you say PSS 4 are not on it, yet.

    Brakes tend to hold some heat after a few runs but not had any fade on the few events I have done.

    Forgot about the cheaper wheels Deacon ! I also like the duckbill rear spoiler you have, that would not be allowed as it changes the silhouette 

    Still not had enough spare weekend time to meet up Mike. (Td manifold?)

    Thanks

    Hi
    I was wondering what gives the best improvement per £££ and in what order?
    I am considering sprinting mine next year but in MSA events so have to comply with certain regs mainly no bearing top mounts which omits most coil overs except Ohlins.
    The events are no more than one lap no more than a mile.

    So the order I was thinking is this

    1. Tyres (on standard rims )from list 1a probably Michelin pilot sport cups ( if they are allowed next year)
    2.Brake pads , something to give a bit more bite but must work from cold ?
    3.Suspension, I use mine everyday so not looking for a big drop but would you think Ohlins are worth the outlay esp if I need to use standard top mounts ? Otherwise something like Koni dampers with RCE springs
    4.Full alignment after coilovers/dampers
    5.Lower final drive
    6.Manifold and remap or exhaust and remap as I shouldn't need the low down torque.
    7.Lighter wheels but 17" x 8" max

    What do you think and WHY ?

    Would you confirm it's the complete kit per this please: CLICK?

    Theres no bump stops as you reuse your own and dust covers but the springs don't look like those in the picture. Tried the part number and the ones on amazon look different again I think a lot of sites use generic pictures.

    These look different again.
