Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I'm all for messing with cars. However, with all the best will in the world and no disprespect, if you want to get more out of your car and be a better driver, spend the money on driver training. That will make the single biggest difference to anyone's car over fitting suspension/tyres/engine mods and it's completely transferable.

I've already told him to do that. He gets free instruction as part of the day at Cadwell Park. I'll also get my mate who races in TA to jump in with him as he is really good at instructing.

Yes, they grip well (though do they on 10s?) and change direction nicely, but fuck me they're bouncy. I think that's just a mini thing though. Increased camber made my Metro hang on like a randy gibbon, so I'd go with it for that, but I just fitted some funky bushes for a lot less money.

The great thing about the kits you can get for the Mini are that they come with uprated bushes.
