    Yes indeed, really looking forward to taking it out on Blyton for its maiden trackday. With the parts fitted it's definitely with trackdays in mind, from now on it's dialling in the damping rate front and back to find a good setup for track. The rear anti roll bar has 2 settings, it's on the soft setting at the moment which i think is enough on road with the option to change up for track.

    Looks good mate. I think it looks brilliant on the 15" wheels.
    How is the torque wrench?

    That torque wrench is brill, that was cool of Ray to dig 1 out and sell it to me. Finally getting the equipment together for on track, no more loose wheel nuts

    Now on the lookout for a cordless impact wrench

    I can't take it any further, i'm happy with how it all is

    He a good chap, he asked after you today.

    Impact wrench, Jack, tyre pressure guage, foot pump, basic tool kit, spare wheel and a jerry can is all you need for road going class in sprints.
    I'll dig out the suit, boots and gloves req for sprints this week too.

    Hopefully Matt will be along to answer that

    I'm sure it was half a turn on the track rod each, I think

    Re: Its new, and its blue (182)

    1mm total on the dunlop guage, this thing needs to be driven on the road most of the time (trying not to eat the tyres every 100 miles) but needs a spot of decent turn in on track.
    Adey, it's been set up on the 15" wheels btw.
    This is a base setting to work from, plus it's easy for me to remember. I'm getting old....

    How did you find the set up on track?

    Mine was great fun to drive round blyton even with cheap tyres and apex springs, so your's must have been pretty planted i'd imagine.
