Woody finished 2nd today at Worksop. In practice he clipped a corner which rolled the car and the shock tower grabbed the floor which cracked it - pretty much any car would have done the same or worse in the same situation so no biggie really. The tower held the rest of the day though (no spare).
We put on the new optional front blocks thanks to TRF-TASTIC after checking them against the kit plastic blocks (both 10degree, kit ball stud is slightly higher than the alloy default setting).
I think the main changes stu did today was aimed toward getting more steering on the slippy worksop track - silver (AE) front springs, raising the outer ball stud 2mm on the new alloy front hubs. The setup definately wasn't quite as dialled as it has been on other tracks but it was still good. It was woodys first time at the track in many years and its a bit of a strange one.
Damage so far - the rear camber brace needs replacing, the front shock tower needs replacing soon, the undertray got destroyed, the rear diff balls got destroyed.
Stu also noticed something with the front one-way. Push the arm up whilst the wheel is spinning freely and at the top of its travel the CVD binds up and will unsettle the car. The cause is the orange foam things included in the one-way kit to keep the outdrives in place. They are just too hard. Stu replaced them with tiny off-cuts of inner foam which takes all the binding away.
