The mods are quite good so far - Tein Flex and the TRD anti-roll bars make a big difference. I'd advise anti-roll bars for everyone, they really make it corner flat.

The 2 way LSD is good too, when you get the power down it's crazy. Works very well with a slick tyre. Of course there's vibration on wet/greasy roads at low speed as the LSD tries to 'limit slip'. On dry tarmac it wheel spins like Starsky & Hutch then grabs the surface.

VSC off switch works well too, but was expensive.

We cleaned 2 seconds off previous lap time on the greasy track...so I think maybe 3 seconds on a dry track.

Next mods - oil cooler, ATF cooler, HKS Type S intercooler, MINES ECU.

Nice Videos yoshi

I was surprized by how quick the Lotus was,but you always caught him under braking.Do you have uprated brake calipers and pads or just pads?

The Lotus is pushing 260bhp per tonne. I'd need 450hp to stay with it in a straight line.

I use Project-Mu pads, Goodridge steel lines, Motul 5.1 fluid and Black Diamond discs BUT with stock calipers (my 2nd set!).

The brakes work A-1 if you do it right. You don't need any fancy brake kits or anything, just the right fluid/pad/disc/lines.

The brake lines are a job ive got to do on my car,they will need replacing soon,there standard rubber hoses and are showing signs of wear.What sort of money are the steel hoses to buy yosh?

[yoshi]

Steel lines are pretty cheap, I think 90 quid for a pack of 4. You can get Goodridge lines although I did break one of them on my Ford Mondeo.

You could also try Project-U http://www.project-mu.co.jp

Expensive, but nice lines also.

Get the MOTUL 5.1 fluid or Castrol SRF if you can afford it (although SRF can eat seals I'm told).

Many thanks for the Info yoshi :)
