Rather than spending money on lips and crystal lights and all that bullshit, buy some handling mods and tyres if you are going to track it.

I have a spare headlight here that you can have for free. All out of corner lights though.
Bumper looks repairable. I'd patch it up as cheap as possible and then assess the options.

I also have a set of fog light covers for sale if you want.

If it saves you hitting something once it was worth it.
that is exactly what i want to do but it seems everytime i save some money for it something goes wrong so i'm back to square one.

The pad is the burnout pad. 4wd hellis?

Those tyres have claimed more car bits than the track.

Surprised if the water came from the haul pack tyres, is your windscreen washer bottle located in the same corner of the car?

Can anyone shed any light on this? I'm sort of thinking understeering through a corner has got more to do with driver error ( too much speed ) than anything else. Surely any car, pushed further than its capabilities is going to handle like a pig.

Urban myth?

It's on the passenger side up the top and people thought the impact broke the bottle but it didn't

Indeed was my error the track was 4 consecutive right hand turns, i came out of the second turn out of control( thought i could correct it) i then went into the third turn with no control and lost it. n/a cars can be dangerous aswell

I have a spare corner light you can have Cat.

Dont bother will coilovers, you dont need them.
Get a set of STi pink struts and some decent springs and that will do you fine.
Talk to Doug and Damien about it.
