All depends on the geo, but generally the fronts will take a lot of use before wearing out. On standard geo the car just understeers for Britain, its utterly boring.

Bit of a shed this one, but what a bargain! http://pistonheads.com/sales/835060.htm

Some mean ass cars on this page!

Brilliant!

O.M.G

TMS are crap, end of!

Yes, you're right. Mid-engined, short wheelbase, asking for trouble when there is so little to correct a slide so narrow tyres definitely help there. Of course, helps with parking and steering feel too... A cool mod would be Lotus hubs (weaker 4 stud but lighter) and some Motorsport wheels...

Yes, it was setup to be a 'Vauxhall' not a Lotus. The wheels were a marketing decision also. Mine had slightly lower mileage and had leaking dampers, despite never seeing the track...

Not sure who you're near but i've been using Plans Motorsport for a few years and they know how to setup a car. Its amazing how playful they can set up the cars, a world away from what they are from the factory. Just don't think they are these sort of no expense spared cars, they are built to a...

Jonny, sorry, you're wrong there buddy. The VX has ok suspension and the geometry is too safe as standard. It is a long way from being perfect! In certain conditions, the Sachs coilovers i had meant a better ride. The vastly reduced ride height just meant it was fidgety over some surfaces...

Nice write up! Good to see you get your hands dirty!

I'm sure a 340R setup is far more aggressive, but still not majorly aggressive compared to what i would have. Mine was super pointy, i like instant turn in. The suspension makes such a difference to the handling/looks it would be the first thing i'd do. Having said that the brakes are...

Yeah, i know the owner of that CSL. Heir to River Island and uses his dad's driver/Maybach to deliver bits! Big pimpin'! At the mo my favourite is the orange, as its the main colour of my company too. I like some of the M3 colours but don't want it looking like a fake CSL!

LOL! Good work!

Wow, two pics, you spoil us!

Looking good. Nice to see you're getting wider fronts, one thing i didn't sort whilst i had mine. Will make it more difficult to drive on the limit though... Nitrons are a must! I had Sachs coilovers which were a bit too stiff, but then the car was very low. Ohlins are better yet but Nitrons...

Nice cars...

Nice. They need a drop!

Well, it does say BMW Compact right at the start at video brains... ;)

I hate the GP but like the GP wheels on standard looking Cooper S's. Saw them on an all black lowered Mini and it looked superb.
