Hi Folks
Just got myself a SG yesterday. After doing a bit of research I choose the SG over the black as they seem to be the faster variant??
A few mates on the forum already have them, Jonny and Donk plus another mate that's not on the forum.
Will be looking to upgrade the brakes and suspension in the future, probably AP's but I'm not sure on the suspension yet. Had Nitron's in my last car and loved them but they are bloody expensive!
Look forward to seeing a few of you on track! :beer:

I have a list as long as your arm before I would want to take it on track...
New Cups
Upgraded brakes
Think I could live with the suspenion for a while
Geo etc
This all goes against the missus having our first little one in a few weeks so the TD's are going to havee to take a back seat for a while.
The next Ring trip is tempting though!!!

Glenn, welcome aboard. I'm guessing you're in NI judging by you knowing Mark and Jonny. Sorry if I'm off course.
Brakes are the 1st Mod for sure, then Suspension afaik. The car is perfect as it is on track but if you're REALLY talking about smoking it, brakes are a must as after a few laps the brakes begin to show a real disappointment in the car.
Bugger Mark, just looked at my calender there for the next TD over there, I'm offshore! Would have come over again, that was a brilliant weekend!

Definitely gonna miss it as it was a beast but with 2 seats it just wasn't going to get used.
Looking forward to getting the CSL sorted and then comparing times.
