Norman Verona Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have a customer who was building a new Vauxhall showroom. As they were clearing the site they found a pond with newts in it. All work stopped as the newts were a proctected species. When the newts had been gently removed to another site and work could commence they had to stop again as the trees had nesting birds. All this delayed the building for 6 months and in the end they had to rediseign the buillding and turn it through 90 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveD Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 first outing is 17th of april matt ,apparantly jeff its all in the set up ,10" slicks should sort that seriously though i dont think understeer is going to be the problem i think the problem is going to be 335 bhp and 230 plus torques in a short wheelbase car ,its going to be a steep learning curve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
