Track day at Brands Hatch

Did a track evening at Brands Hatch which was fun but I had a bit of understeer. I lent my car to one of the most experienced racing drivers competing in the TTRS series and after a few laps he offered up major criticism of my car's brakes, suspension and steering. Oh dear. I have a challenge ahead regarding suspension choices. I also have some reading material to get through to help me make decisions with. Thanks Stacy for the books.

Polybushes and brake pipes

Next week I will fit a set of polybushes to the Sierra's suspension. I'll re-do all the front bushes and the rear beam and ARB mounts with Powerflex bushes. I also have a set of braided Goodridge brake hoses to replace the old rubber ones on my car. I hope that this may take some of the sponginess out of the brake pedal. Pic:
