Default Biggest change ive noticed on TM2

Been running the TM2 for a few weeks now been getting on great with it.

Saturday night i tried back to back runs with alloy sidepods and some new delrin ones that have been made by geocar on here.

Ran practise and 2 runs with the alloy ones laptimes were 14.5 ish seconds ran the delrin ones in round 3 and final and laptimes dropped to 14.2 and the car was so much more consistant

This was at silverstone which is fairly high grip, was unsure they would work and thought would be better suited to low grip but was impressed

All the other people who i know have run them had noticed a difference

He also makes alloy parts, hubs bulkhead etc

I agree with Paul they really help make the car easier to drive, I can't see mine coming back off anywhere.

And yes no other changes all night car stayed the same for back to back test. Same tyres all night too, new to start with and our track kills tyres so quicker laps on worn tyres too

Paul-have ordered some delrin sides, already run the geocar front kick up, which is excellent!
-will let you know how we get on.
Have you run without any sides?, we tried it at Worksop (low grip) but at the same time tried other mods (sorry Glynn!) so was a bit inconclusive..i.e., still awfull!!
Cheers, Gord...
