Hi all. I have a 04 1.8 vrs. Have done a few track days with it standard.

Doing one next week in Northern Ireland and can't wait to see what difference a couple of mods make.

Its been remapped (212 bhp) and will have a 28mm arb this week.

I'll write up the differences they make here soon.

Having taken mine on the track for the 1st time @ Castle Coombe with mods listed in Sig.

Mine felt twitchy in the back end when braking hard and suspension is way to soft for track use.

It did feel neutral in the corners and was controllable with the back end trying to step out a little,but sliding it round some corners was fun.

I love a car that feels twitchy.

I did a track day in the rain lately and beat every lotus on track. such a good car in the wet.

My best trackday was in the rain. Had loads of fun.

Well the car behaved perfectly. Alot more responsive than it was when standard! I little less forgiving perhaps but much easier for lift off oversteer. We had 7 hours track time and only 20 cars entered. Short but very fast track.

Couple of pics! The second picture is at 120mph.

Yes it gets to hot otherwise. It was a sunny day.

The car looks odd at the rear because I removed the back seats and spare wheel etc for lightness.

I'm running standard suspension with a 28mm RARB and 15mm rear spacers.

A few more pictures I managed to get hold of!

that mid one is nice looks like the front is liftin a fair bit too. is it the std front ARB too?

lookin ace mate

billy

Yep. Standard front end! Thanks
