This was my first time in the car, only other distance I had done was driving it off the trailer to take it apart and around the yard to stamp the brakes a few times.
Suffice to say my arse was going a bit when I pulled out of the pits, had no idea how it was going to turn or brake. Had a problem with the bias a few days before we were going so Ste fitted and set up a bias valve, but it wasn't tested on the road anywhere.
Got a bit quicker during the session but still all over the place, few little moments while I was chucking it a bit to see what the tendencies were.
Went out again later that day and it was well quicker but no vid for that one unfortunately!

Have you got anything planned for the engine, fairly standard at the minute isnt it?

Standard and staying standard.
I did a similar manoeuvre to the 200SX to an E36 M3 in the next session and I would dearly loved to have told either of them that it was a 125bhp standard thing with a rapid fit small bore 1 and Halfords services parts being the only mods.

No idea - didn't drive it any other way!!
Definitely a lot more raw with no sound deadening though. You can hear everything, stones in the arch, loads more engine noise. So it sounded quicker
