You might be right Howard, but a recent experience increases my reluctance. As many know, I've had to take a "leave of absence" for about a year. I went out with my "race" M03 with the same set up etc, put the car down on the track, and it was undriveable. One of the worst cars it has been my misfortune to drive. It took the better part of two batteries and a borrowed set of tires to get a car you could drive around the track. The track surface had changed.

Tell me what your car is doing, what sort of track you run on, what tires, what set up, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to help. There are certain things that will make your car do certain things most of the time. This stuff I know, but exactly what set up will work for you, I don't. Some of the guys on this thread do, but I'm not one of them.
