cars going ace to be honest, main problem now is traction even with the softest List 1B tyres on the market
 5 class records in last 5 events and think ive wrapped up the Super modified class championship as well dont really know what i can do to improve things now as more power wont help, and suspension setup is pretty well maxed out for the class so maybe have to look at a different championship or move class. there is talk of handicapping my sort of car (an SS1) further to slow them and im not really interested in that. Will have to wait until mid november to see what new rule changes are voted in Just castle combe left this year, so lets hope i can finish on a high

from std its got shorter AVO coilovers with adj spring platforms on the rear with uprated springs (std car has coilovers but not adj or adj platforms). its semi'trailing arm suspension which has to be retained due to the regs (cant change to dbl wishbone etc) but its rosejointed for toe adj. Rear disc conversion using wilwood calipers and pads (not needed previosly, drums were fine upto 250bhp). rera roll bar adjsuatbel with rosejoint droplinks.
front end has rosejointed lower arms and polybushed uppers. std car has springs between the wishbones but pushrod dampers, so ive stregthened upper wishbones and fitted coilver springs and dumped the springs between the wishbones. front dampers are trick AVO dbl adjusted with custom valving. car runs approx 2.5 deg camber and zero toe. thicker anti roll bar with rosejoint drop links. front brakes are large-ish grooved AP race discs with AP 4 pot mega light ally calipers and choice of Mintex or Pagid carbon metallic pads. most of our guys that run in teh lower Modified class run stiffer springs front and rear and AVO or spax dampers and the cars are really good on road tyres. mines had to have more done because its not a compromise (super mod class), doesnt get run on the road.

Well done for the results! You'll be at Castle Combe on the 20th? Again it's not a million miles from me and I'd like to come and watch (assuming someone doesn't need me to help them move house or sort their car for an MOT
)Do you have any restriction on Aerodynamics in your class?

yeah the aero is governed by the MSAs Modified Production regs, so not a lot of leeway. basically you cant do anything more above the centreline of the wheel nuts , but im working on a few bits for next season already
