See the only mods i have is some bilsteins shocks, braided brake lines, good fluid, a hicas lock bar and some wornout old r-spec dunlops...yep that's it.stock bushes ,stock arms,stock diff and stock brakes
.Its not ideal but I Reckon I could of easy got a 1:10 with a little more practice, i got 1:15 or something on like my second lap out before going off the main straight and being chicken shit cause I needed the car to drive me home..
oh yeah I have 300kws too...
Nothing beats a whole Lot of power.
Though I do agree with you its not needed for good times ,especially at wakie...but power is just so easily attainable on a 33...I dont think alot of suspension mods are needed either ,if you are on a budget weight reduction and good semi slick tyres is a great place to start
But to each his own and more than one way to skin a cat and all that.
