Don't use launch control. Just feed in the throttle progressively. Upgrade the front control arm rear bushes with anti-lift bushes and fit a dogbone insert bush to reduce engine movement.

Thank you, I’ll take a look at those bushes…
Twistedandy:
And it needs a thorough clean inside and out.

Lovely Pirelli, always here a soft spot for these.
Twistedandy:
Freshened up the front as the red beading was badly faded and went for sunshine yellow. Included the bottom lip and I think it looks fresh. Will get to the brake calipers for painting before the weather breaks - I hope.

Working on a reverse camera addition at the moment. Taking the inner trim off was done carefully, I’m hoping it’ll go back on just as easily.
I’ve mounted a small camera just above the rear licence plate and run the cable through a hole I drilled in the bumper behind the licence plate. The wires then run through a hole into the boot and I’m currently running a 12v live from the rear 12v socket for the relay. I’ve yet to find the live feed to the reverse light but have the trim off so shouldn’t take me too long. Planning to complete the wiring at the back end before running the RCA cable to the head unit..
