muhahah...yep, got teased into doing it....i had fun, brought my old man along aswell in his RX8

my aristo isnt really set up for track :p......... weight transfer is the killer, but was well fun sliding it around. I put my 17's on instead of the 19's as i didnt want to have a tyre pop off or something horrid

Was very wet and windy at the start, but got better as the day went on. The Skid pan was still wet even though it looked dry.

here are a few pics from today

that would appear to have quite a bit of body roll?

what spring rates is it running?

If you are trying to reduce body roll you should be doing it with swaybars, not with stiff springs...

pretty easy man, but with my coilovers, it is pretty easy to handle........with a bit more power i could kept the drifting going further

definetly fun tho, i would suggest it. not really suited to the aristo, but i suppose its better than a full track...which you could burn up the auto farily quickly
