And your right about EPR, it's where I race the most and the grip levels are wide ranging to say the least! I'll try the bellcrank update too.

We did a lot of testing at EPR with the 22 and there's still quite a few of the team who are local and will get down that way for info/support.
Don't dismiss the need for new and shiny - but be honest about the rationale you use to justify it. Sadly it's unlikely to turn you into a World Champ overnight - but it can give you a real feel good buzz factor and after all, we're doing this cos it's a hobby and we want to feel good - right?
If you're after hopping up your 22 though (to get the best of both worlds), my vote would be in this order:
v2.0 front end blocks/spindles to reduce the front end aggression
TLR Cab forward body shell - greater stability
side pod weights - slows the turn reaction slightly which can make the car more stable and more forgiving to drive
New -2.5mm short chassis for better turn completeness and carrying more corner speed / less mid-turn stall.
Bellcrank steering for smoother steering arc - although I've not used this myself.
UJ driveshafts on the rear will improve on-power mid-corner bump handling (sweeper entry into the mogul section when running clockwise at EPR after the raceway bend)
Much can be gained with suspension tuning / pistons etc to get the most out of any car. Again, a lot has been learned and with Ellis on the team in the UK and with Chris Delves, you'll never be short of proper genuine help and good info.
