Do they have a problem with people using cameras on the long track track? They are clearly for educational purposes out there as opposed to the skid pan, so hopefully not.

This is the exact set I'd organized to buy but let T have them, Id spoken
to Rob about them and was told they are the M compound, he also said
Dunlops M rating is quite hard compared to others.

Basically what one tries to do with a Subaru is dial out understeer using various means...your car has maybe tipped too far the other way. You should be running zero rear toe, then about 2 deg neg camber rear and 3.5 to 4 front....KISS principle. I would strongly suggest a Wheels World alignment.
The tyres will easily come on song within 3 laps of the track...if they are DH's old ones they are probably R's, so should be spot on. The hot temp of 36 sounds about right...ie starting at about 32/30 F/R cold.
I would also recommend a couple of sessions at RAC...firstly an hour with John Fowler to fine tune the handling then a one-on-one with someone like Kim Screaigh who will help you with technique and lines. It is reasonably easy to tune your driving at RAC if you really religiously stick to the witches hats lines...like I always tell peolpe in the V8's, just go from one to the next like you're joining the dots on a drawing.
The other bit of advice is to get the handling right, then LEAVE IT ALONE (ie no add-ons, changes etc) and just drive it.

Good luck!

Thanks Steve may look into this further. Do you know what rough costings John fowler would charge to come to AHG track??

Suspension is pretty much sorted now, nothing else i can forsee in the future to change..

I was trying to follow the cones as much as possible, but as Matt said the car was really rear loose.

if you dont hire John Fowler for some set up advice you might indeed need 4 bumpers
