They have always said: You can't get Thicker than a Kwik Fit Fitter :d

It's westfield's GRP one. I think it's only for FW rears. I doubt it does anything except tidy it up a bit. It's not welded in the photo! I got them done today by a mate with a mig and a steady hand. I'm more used to welding girders It does indeed look like those stickers but it's not, honest. I do have an illuminated scania logo on the rear bulkhead and fairy lights in the windscreen though

In relation to the WSCC Sprint School drop Nick Algar or (I think) David Hussey a PM - they will let you know what it's all about. Should be Saturday, 15th June - held in the morning and includes a walk of the track and an observed run with feedback from all the instructors. Then the club runs a little track day in the afternoon to enable you to put more theory to practice. Then stay over night and join in the evening's fun and games and enter the WSCC Speed Series event which is run on Sunday. My advice would be to do both the Sprint School and the Westfield Drift experience. Another option is to spend half a day with an experienced motorsport instructor (e.g. Ed Moore from MotorSports Events) will cost in the region of £350 for the half day - done in your own car on an airfield and you will learn loads about your car and your driving and the limits of both.

when lifting off the throttle in a rear wheel drive car you are essentially adding breaking to the rear wheels. so for example, when in a hard corner the inside wheel becomes light, when lifting off you are adding breaking force to this wheel and allowing it to break traction, the same as if you were to add the hand break in a corner. the way that race drivers get around this is to remain on the throttle and left foot break, this applies the breaking force to all 4 wheels at the same time and maintains the best balance of the car, and in turn gives the best possible opportunity of not sliding whilst scrubbing off some of the unwanted speed.

I'll hopefully be doing the sprint school, but I don't know when or where it is...any ideas?

I haven't but I have done one with the frame that goes around the car, where as some wet the surface to make it slippery. With what you have said you could learn quite a lot from one. Plus, I had a right laugh on mine. Apparently the drift days are good as well, both will make you relax more and have more confidence when things go out of shape.

They're not that difficult to make, any small engineering firm should be able to make one for you. This is the one I had made several years ago to adapt my boss. The machined spigot on mine to locate the wheel isn't really needed and you can use nuts and bolts to hold the wheel to the adaptor rather than tapping a thread and so make yourself and adaptor with one of these. You can use your steering wheel as a template to mark out exactly where to drill the holes. Edit to add: I can reccomend a few local Enginnering companies if you need one
