I know what your saying, winter tyres should be made law here, even on a cold wet road they are better than summer tyres by miles and in the snow, unbeliveable. (Ive not got them but drove a hire car for a week with them on)
Tuesday 7th December 2010 - Something Bad Happened
We have a track day booked for mid-December so we have been slowly getting the car ready. A routine geometry check at Car body in Banbury all went well and the camber and toe were reset
Once it was all done we just had to reverse...
29th November 2010 - Respray
After a season of racing the car was looking a bit battered with lots of stone chips and scrapes. Some of the stickers had began to peel off so we de-livery'd it and this made the paint even more messy
We decided to rub it all down and give it a fresh top coat...
Brake vacumm pipe for servo assistance. YES you need it. With a hole in it would of been sucking in extra air and messing the AFR up.
Hope it was mapped BEFORE the pipe split or it will need doing again

Provisional 2011 calendar has been relased and it looks fairly similar to this year but with Anglesey in early August and Donington in late May. Aiming to do 6 or 7 rounds again. Along with another sponsors/friends day at Silverstone
We know what the alternator issue was. It was the 'refurbished' ones we had done by a local firm. The 'off the shelf' one was fine c**till the casing broke) Using a genuine 172 Cup one now, so hopefully that issue is long gone.
