If I don't bust in to the 9's I will be highly disappointed...... lets hope my engine holds up.... oh and my gearbox.

Thats a rather severe way of getting out of the embarasment of having your **** kicked by an old classic.

I thought you had been training as per your video and you are now a driving god shaun?

See you there Phil.

Just did mine today, within 0.5Kg accross the front axle, rear isnt posible to balance as acurately without lots of weight shifting such as relocating the battery, which is too much hasle for a road car.

Did you have a dump before you corner weighted with you in it??? It could make all the difference you know on the day!!!

It is arguable that corner weighting full stop for a road car is a waste of time though..... so stop making excuses and shift the battery!!!

You'll only be blaming that as the reason, when I whip your ****!

Nah, not worth the agro. It's front axle weight that matters most when setting up a car, close rear match is a bonus on a road car.

There is a TV program on More4 late at night you should watch Shaun, its called "Dream On".

Thats gotta be better than watching your nightly dose of "Babecast". That £1.50 per minute on the dirtbird line must be taking a toll on your bank balance!
