Little Update as ever...
First off I took the white wheels off as white looked gash.... So swapped Parada's to the grey MO's...
Then I set the front coilovers as I will be running 50 profile's from now on 
Front Height
Good Brake Clearance
Ground clearance is alot more which suites me as I do enjoy A country drive...
Then it was tracking time for Monty, with height adjustments the tracking was at 2deg toeing IN.... not good, Few adjustments later he is now set at 2 minutes toeing IN 
Then Mike popped over.... and we got to work
Mike's tracking was also set at 2 minutes toeing IN
Then the good old welder came out for repair to Mikes coil Bracket since it snapped!
That done, the weather was nice.... it would of been rude not too!!
Went for good country drive and found a nice tunnel 
Little launch in Monty...

Then from the above video of monty he left his mark, Parada FTW... Mike stood where "11's" stopped
Mikes Launch

So post TVL post:
Both cars ready to go
On Show
Well Monty got more than 2 laps this year which is always a positive but I still need to get used to him on track and carrying the speed etc and braking points but I was happy enough... Couple more sessions we should be alot quicker
Alittle warm in the car waiting...
Couple on track
Session 2 didn't go so well ended after 3 laps  Broken outter NS CV joint Balls.....
Oh dear
After a long time home at 20mph I limped monty home
The strip down, lots of grease...
Cracked the cage and it "locked" the joint
But all in all was a great day and I used and abused Vinnie for last 2 sessions Currently updating his thread
