Hi Steve : Have you ever tried the Knockhill Circuit, Fife?
I used to do a lot of photography (amateur) there.
No, i'm afraid i have never been there before. I live and work in the south of England (Surrey & Hampshire), so Knockhill is a little too far for me.
The most northerly circuit i have been to is Croft. It's a lovely track with some great corners, testing your nerve to keep your foot to the floor, heheh.
Apart from Croft, i usually go to Brands Hatch and Castle Combe as they are within easy reach.
Have the new springs made the Jazz feel less like it's going to topple on sharp and fast double apex bends? Couple of places I drive have them and I just feel too high up to take the bends too sharply. Ex-Mini driver here!
Love what you have done to your cars.
Thanks Vampyra. I must admit, i was fairly happy with how my Jazz felt beforehand. My car is an '02 model, and the suspension felt fairly firm to begin with, better than my girlfriends '07 GD5 anyway...
The FK Automotive springs that i installed are progressive, so they help the car feel a little more planted in the corners (less body roll) but still feel comfy at low speeds.
By far the biggest improvement was getting the front geometry re-aligned. By setting a bit of toe-out and some negative camber, it has greatly improved front end grip and feel. The car now has much less tendency to under-steer.
As it decided to snow last night, i thought it was about time to remove the semi-slicks and re-fit my stock "winter" wheels.
I should really have done it last weekend, as it wasn't particularly fun swapping wheels over in the snow, lol.
