Excellent. I'm no expert, but FWIW IMO.. I've had a tuition session and it made a big difference. The Instructor and others told me not to rush onto grippy tyres. It may get you better times but it won't help initially with developing your car control and understanding of cornering and lines. As far as the understeer on turn in, trail braking would help push weight onto the front tyres helping them dig in. If you change the set up to dial this out it may effect other parts of the corners where you've said that it's neutral and predictable. If you set the front ARB to be softer it would help dial the understeer out but increase the oversteer liability. At the end of the day though it's your fun so have a play with settings, you can put them back if it doesn't work out, and enjoy.

Wouldn't need banning if he'd bit me, he'd need a dentist!

Needs a lifetime ban. But it will never happen 'cos he's on a big club's balance sheet so it would affect their bottom line. Ain't about football anymore just money. Makes my blood boil the way the game has been ruined. We will never have a competitive national team with today's model, but I can't see it ever changing.

Finally some build progress Well after several months of reading, researching and gathering it had to happen at some point and at last there's been some progress with the build. It's nice when the day finally arrives that brings shiny new parts and nothing comes much shinier than a new set of wheels. Back in the day the JW4 was available with a small number of wheel options; as standard steel wheels were supplied but optionally either Cosmic RW10 or the JA Pearce Magna were offered. When I bought my JW4 it also came with set of magnesium Cosmic wheels but these have been causing me a few problems so I began looking at other options. Minilite's and Revolutions were an obvious choice, as were the Dunlop D1 but none of these to me were really within keeping with the styling of the car and nor were they original fitment on the JW4. It was then that I by chance discovered that JA Pearce had been reincorporated again in 2012 after the companies original dissolution back in 1973 and were remanufacturing the Magna wheel in very limited numbers. Perfect timing for me ! For those that are interested the following links offer some history of the JA Pearce Magna wheels and also the extensive process in casting and manufacturing them. http://japearceengineering.com/products/magna-wheels/ http://japearceengineering.com/general/reinventing-the-wheel/ At the weekend I finally got to see my new wheels for the first time and this is one of my own wheels I'm very happy right now next job is to order some tyres for them

Thanks for the replies, and no, I'm not going in to mass production!! Sorry. But I'll help out if anyone fancies doing their own. got a bit more done to the engine tonight, Moved the plugs to the other side of the engine, painted the block, then thought about the seats. My car has "Tomb Stone" type seats, similar to the Lotus but with more bolster to them. So I had to work out how to shape the backs, While the filler was drying I looked through the parts box for something to make the cycle wings from and found these, Seats from a MGB. With a bit of cutting, Could have been made for it. with some filling and shapeing all will be fine. Thats all for now.

get some more pictures up team am getting withdrawal symptons
