Sounds good Dave, nice to see it in action & Oulton Park looks a quality circuit.
On with the development anyhow.

Went to York Dragway yesterday. Managed to get a 13.78, so slightly slower than last time but I wasted the majority of my runs with huge fuelling issues. I found the problem out - the spade connector on my 'directly wired' fuel pump had fallen off pretty much so the fuel pump had about 5volts  I'm surprised the car was performing as bad as it did.
Loving being able to do burnouts, LOL. It's taken me 8years to get it but now I can, wahey
Oh, had 0-60s timed aswell and I got 5.5. Very chuffed with that

Haven't posted for a while, shocking 
So, went to JMA Autmotive in Oldham today to have the car corner weighted. I was massively nervous about what my current setup was like on the scales as it was all done by counting threads, cutting bits out and luck 
Car on the ramps 
So, results with no driver:
NSF - 279
OSF - 296
NSR - 140
OSR - 142
Total Weight: 856kg
So pretty damn close Well impressed
After some adjustments, and with ME in the driver seat, and half a tank of fuel they ended up at:
NSF - 279
OSF - 336
NSR - 161
OSR - 157
Total Weight: 932kg
This is a shot of the 'scales' summary with the front-back, side-side ratios etc 
More than happy with that. It poured down on the weigh home, so I can't really say I've noticed a difference, but it's good to know everything is as good as it can be.
Oh, he is a video of me being hooligan in the rain while stuck in traffic  | |

He used the machine above for the corner weighting anyway | |

Love your car buddy... its looking/ sounding awsome.. i should have valvered mine....
just one thing, doing a burnout like that on road tyres is surely just gonna cook em, they arent design to work well at those temps.
oh and great result with the corner weighting too..

I know they're not designed for doing burnouts, but I see tyres as consumables, and have had the car for over 12 months and there is still loads of meat on em
Thanks for your comments mate | |

None, both are accurate representations of the weight. I have saved weight, I just wasn't sure how much | |
