Do you have any onboard footage?

Unfortunately not

Read through your thread but couldn't see what spec the suspension is on the car.
What shocks/springs are you running? Have you polly bushed the car?
From the pics above the car isn't rolling that badly, look at the nissan behind you!
To be honest as it was your first time on track there will be seconds to find in yourself before you even begin to search for more power, get back out there as soon as you can and you will be amazed a the time you can find.

thanks for your interest. I believe it has hot bits coilovers, they were in there when I bought it. And the bushes are all original afaik.

Yes I agree, I'm not spending any money on performance when all it takes to reduces my lap times in practice and a few suspension tweaks

Swapped over my steering wheel today, thanks to Colin for the wheel.

Surely you could have beaten that crappy old RX-7!! LOL. Was it the real deal Group C unit?
Good luck with the car, its looking great in the tack. You might want to look at all your bushes and some high quality suspension as well. Koni or Bilstein etc.
Save up for a 16v motor work it really hard and drop in in once you have got the car/yourself as quick as you can

does anyone know about mk2 tailgates?

I want to put my spoiler back on (it was never installed when i got it), but the tailgate doesnt have any provision to install the screws into the tailgate that stick out from the spoiler itself...

thinking the tailgate is not original as im sure my car has had body work done over its hard life...

any ideas?

The spoiler was glued on.

the bolts go through the glass, not the metal, not really glued on either.

Its been 3 months since an update, lately I've forever blacked the bumpers, removed all plastic strips and plastic wheel arches and replaced them with black vinyl. Car is 3/4 cut and polished, huge improvement, and I've added a window net too

If it's an easy job getting the rear window out, wanna swap? Mine has holes for the spoiler, but I'm going with a different spoiler. I also have 2 spoilers, one in black plastic and one in gloss black (same as my car)

Abf is from a mk3 gti yes?

Seat toledo as well - Note Harness colours are different. Get yourself a VAG port as well.

Requires:

Steering Column, Immobilser, perhaps a new Wheel and Boss. We used a Toldeo and also had to cutaway a small piece of the hood support to fit the intake manifold . You best read up and get prepared but the end results are awesome.

Goes like a bat out of hell, with short 1st on the 5 speed, better get some good front tyres as well.

Love it...
