    Really loving these standard wheels. The car could do with being lowered though - not sure whether to go with coilovers or just shocks with lowered springs.

    Want!!

    Actually, have, but in black :pac:

    That looks great :) shock and springs for me, much cheaper and if it's only for lor looks you won't need/ miss the extra adjustability of coilovers.

    TRD make 25mm lowered springs for the car, which should be enough of a drop to make it looks better I think.

    40mm seems to be the standard drop people do with Tein or other springs, but I've already scraped the sump off speed bumps with the tiny drop given by the new wheels so got to be careful :o

    The Ginetta's are a sight to behold, fantastic looking car and seem a hoot to drive.

    I'd love to see a speed comparison on the straight from your onboard :)

    For sure, yeah. Would've been nice to have some other slow cars there though. :P

    Anything would seem slow to them!
    That saab didn't seem to be pulling away very fast.
    Did you get faster as the day went on?

    Cannot wait for saturday now, it's what will get me through this week :)

    Well I tried going through corners quicker and revving more as the day went on but I don't have any lap times unfortunately. :P

    Well sure if you came out knowing a bit more about your car and your car still intact what harm :)

    I bet if I were to rag mine around the track it'd come out needing serious work! Definitely not race ready!

    Mine only has a bit of polybushing, coilovers and a nice little brake upgrade.
    It's not race ready either, if it shows any short comings this weekend then it'll be handy to fix them for next month!

    I got a few passenger rides in an E36 M3 and by 1 PM the differential bearings had packed in :pac:

    We do the 20 mins out, 20 mins in rule.
    Never go flat flat out either :)
    Maybe in 2 sessions or so but not all the time!

    Keeping the car running after you come off the track also helps :pac:
