I have taken a leaf out of Colin Chapmans way of doing things (for more speed increase lightness) and reduced the weight of my Type R by 50kg's by removing the spare wheel,tool kit and rear seats and that has made the car very noticeably louder .
I weighed all the bits on a digital platform scale.
I have also ordered a set of stiff / rigid collars that will tighten up the front end by removing any play where the cross member bolts to the chassis subframe as that should make the front end slightly more direct. Will be getting them fitted by my suspension specialist when they arrive from Tegiwa in GB shortly after Xmas and will get the wheel alignment checked and reset at the same time.
Will report my findings after my first track day in the new year.
PS for those who don't know Colin Chapman he founded LOTUS cars
