Default Bitter sweet day with the FS at Killer Cov! But Happy ending,Still the nicest 4wd out

Put simply I had a smashing time (practice, R1 & R2) and found myself tip-toeing around for a 15th in round in R3 ....
{In fairness I have to say that the damage was 2 front arms and a rear hub all of which have been given some abuse since the car was built at the begining of the year and, yes all original parts, and it was well below 0degC in the morning ... don't think any car would have survived!}

Why was the car so "interesting to drive" yesterday???

Well the answer is I was running it in permenant 4WD (normally run one-way).... for R4 I put the one way back in and WOW ... car was back to it's awesome self, totally smooth and super drivable!!!

Message here is please, all of you guys try the car with the one-way in!!!!! I know it's not the cheapest option but it made 1.75s ... yes 1.75s a lap difference to the car at Cov today. Most people would be happy to find 1.75 tenths per lap but a mod that gives 1.75s is amazing!!!!

Only time I'll take it out now is for PDA (where the front brakes are essential).


Hope this helps some people
