Do z's look slow gong round the track?
yeah it does look slow from the outside lol, but as si has said above the longer gears give a false impression as though the cars are cruising along. The front wheel driven cars can cain it much earlier out of the corners in high revs which does sound as tho they are going alot quicker. The first run was pathetic lol, not sure how everyone else was but with mine being very stiff i didnt get much or even any body roll in the wet leaving me with hardly any tyre load, outcome was massive understeer in and out of the corners and zero grip on throttle :(, in the dry however i had plenty of grip and the brakes were working really well, i can remember sumshiftyguy being shuved forwards under braking lol.

Back from Japfest
better tyres will make the drive a hell of a lot better on the track, i know from experience lol :D last time at castle combe i had pirelli p zeros on BUT i didnt realise how old and brittle they had gotten not to mention being bald on the insides. YES p zeros are an awesome tyre but there were like plastic, i just fitted falken 452's although they are an average tyre what a difference they made im so suprised. Managed to track it this time with more confidence, even in the rain they felt better than the old ones.

Well the brackets are made which cost more than the calipers lol, I painted them to protect from rust. with good ol hammerite which will take the heat. Bought some heat treated ebc 324 discs, dont know how long they will last before they warp but its a start :D The pads are a perfect fit to the discs surface, what a flook. And i got me all the bolts to fit them in :D Just got to pick up the car in a hour from the spray shop, then i can get working on fitting it all together.

engine & box mounts
If you go for poly engine mounts you will have to have a heat shield made around them as turbos/manifolds will get too hot and cause premature failure, i think your best option would be stock engine mounts, they can take plenty of power (ive heard)
