Improvments

Tried tyre pressures at 26psi .. 'seemed' good but rattled my fillings out..
Lowered them to 20psi .. really nice.. soaked up the bumps and lumps but likes to slide
Going to keep them at 20 I assume if i was on the track the temp would firm up the ride..
Second thing i did was take out the soggy gearbox mount - replace with stiff mount..
Wow.. nice precise gear shifts without the stick bobbing up and down anymore!
Another was to put a midi size screen on - again - wow - can drive it without a helmet!
Screen at eye level - bugs & small stones no problem - very happy!!
All in all .. bits and bobs .. feeling good

Oh got some of this in the post - will let you know the results ..linky: Optiglanz

I'm running 18 to 16 psi on a heavier car
Set up is not just about tyre pressure also look at shock settings

I bought my shocks & springs a while back from GTS ...
I think a set of adjustable shocks & analyze the springs are on the horizon
