Nice video

Scooby was mine - 340-ish bhp, 380 ft-lb torque. Was suffering brake fade due to worn disks/pads so was tending to over compensate by killing too much speed into the bends. That's my excuse anyway

Look at my profile It's a jdm rather than UK spec, and has been modded: AST adjustable coilovers, whiteline roll bars and anti-lift kit.

yeah 1.19's are rubbish for a road car ,imagine the embarasment for the stickered up zs running 1.28's ,he was faster in the corners and had better lines though , thats why we were so close around a lap
