Well I'm back from Spa and all is well! Car covered over 1,200 miles in just under 3 days and performed faultlessly. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that in terms of fuel economy I was doing a lot better than my brother who's civic is near standard power (minus a few light modifications). Im sure the stripped out interior had a lot to do with it.
The weather for spa forecast rain, and heavy downpours at that, but we were pleasantly surprised to enjoy nothing but glorious sunshine and high 20s temps, perfect! I've done a few a track days including a few trips to the ring and by far out of all of them Spa is my favourite, what an amazing circuit, I would recommend it to anybody.
I was really impressed by the car, everything was perfect, from the power, diff, super sticky tyres (incredible tyres, fantastic progression), and to the geometry setup it all hooked up and performed better than I expected it to. I was surprised to be keeping up and in some instances overtaking cars of a much higher pedigree.
I was hoping to have loads of exciting footage to show you from the go pro hero 4 I had for the weekend but unfortunately I made a bit of a cock up! I forgot to select the option which spots where to set the exposure focus and ended up filming what looks like me driving into a tunnel of light. Marvellous. Anyway I'll include the video so you can get the jist of it all.
Couple of pictures and drive by clips:
