He's on Gaz Gold's Yianni (a bit softer than the all out track lot).
Thanks dude. Gaz golds 625/325 spring rates. If you’re looking for something that’ll be compliment on the road I’d look elsewhere tbh. Coming from AST I doubt these will be up to your exacting standards!
Perfect for what I need being predominantly track car but I’d not fancy a road tour on them
Snetterton this Saturday with Mazdaontrack. Chomping at the bit to get the first day of the year started. If anyones attending please come and say hello. I am pretty useless with names being the age I am so bear with me but would be nice to speak to some other Clio owners!
Nasty @NickD has allocated me unlucky garage 13! (in response to his slow cornering jibe no doubt)

I may pop down to say hello, I'm dropping my car off on Saturday for a geo setup otherwise I'd be booking on too. I'll bring my helmet
Snetterton was great last Saturday. New strengthened rear beam made the car handle better. Very controllable. Car temps were really good all day. Not much else to say really.

I’ve had this chat with another guy and found it very difficult to explain. The rear felt like it was going to step out but it never did (ok it did once but that was cold tyres last stint). Once used to it I could really push on with confidence. Car just felt more agile and less wallowy. I don’t really have the vocabulary to do it justice.
But when you’ve owned your car as long as I have you become hyper sensitive to any adjustments and I’m happy it’s installed and I’d recommend getting it done

So almost as though you’re working the rear harder?
It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing after catching wind that Ian was doing his
Yes in a way. You’re certainly more aware that the rear could step out. It’s actually more likely to imo. So driver input/feel is increased which I liked and the car leans a bit more towards oversteer.
Have to remember though that mine is a heavy old girl especially with me and a passenger so it might be different for the lightweight stripped out boys. May well not be as noticeable as the beam might not of flexed as much in the first place

I'm looking forward to seeing how mine feels when I eventually drive it

Interested on your take on the strengthened beam. You’re a bit beterer wiv da words and stuff so might help de others like
Visited Alex at AWMotorworks today. He was his lovely crude miserable self
Changed out the brake fluid for some of this stuff supposed to be good if you listen to all the BMW fanboys.
Next job was to fit some rear shims to give a little more track biased stance. Already had what I needed shim wise after a recent check.
Drove to Smart Tyre in Witham
End results are pretty decent. Was aiming for a bit more negative camber on the rear but I’ll see how this goes.
