Fulcrum don't seem to sell those now, looks like the super streets they sell are the same spring rates as the performance spec. Might be what I go with in a few months time. Going on your progress they must be going pretty good for you.

Had my first crack at a track day last Sunday, was an awesome experience, I gained some driving experience and had a great time with some friends.

I was happy to get down to a 1.15 considering my lack of circuit driving experience.

I had some friends drive the car who are very very experienced and they would do a mid 1.13s second lap out. But they were both extremely impressed with the power for a stock car, and they race a Boss mustang and a XY in the muscle car masters class.

So just when I was about to start buying some gear to make it go fast in a straight line, I've changed my plan. Got myself some brembos and a quality set of 18" Japanese wheels. I think sway bars will be next. The car has enough power for my driving skills on the track at the moment and my main priority is to improve my driving for now.

I will be heading back once I get the brakes and wheels sorted. Hope to see some of you guys there in the future.

So much fun

Sounds like you're going about it the right way . I think with these cars unless you have the handling and stopping sorted increasing power with not help you cut a quicker lap time, if anything it would probably end up being less consistent and slower.

Honestly, my driving skills could not handle more KW on the circuit. It was getting pretty crossed up exiting a few corners as it was! Haha.

what's going on scatterbrain? every time you post a timeslip you are going slower. I am hanging out for a sub 60

[ScatterBrain]

Well to be fair Wednesday night it was a damp track and I got within 0.155sec of my PB, which is 65.08sec on the Clubman circuit. However on the Sprint circuit my current PB is 60.92sec which I'm hoping to beat next weekend.

[ScatterBrain]

Managed to beat my PB of 60.92sec 7 times today, But unfortunately I didn't quite break the 60 sec mark. But 4th out of 50 isn't bad.
