Craig - car looked really good. I did my usual "put it on the track and drive" trick and I was quite happy with it. Only spannering I did was when one of the screws holding the rear/rear suspension block fell out and I lost all the spacers from the left-hand rear arm over some part of the track

Would you recommend the standard TRF shocks for normal duties and only switch to the aeration ones when grip is poor?

What's the purpose of putting the grub screw in the motor mount?

Luckily, we didn't have the same tyre issues in stock, other than the huge difference from first run to third run.
