The following changes gained me about .7 sec., but I’m still about .8 behind you.
F/camber -2.2
F/ARB 17
Diff 60/5
R/aero 100
Turning down the rear aero probably made the biggest difference, I can’t think of any time a FWD needs full rear aero. It’s like dragging a parachute.

I think you mean street intercooler in your post as It gave my PI as 509 with the race intercooler installed

Yes sorry I meant street.

Thanks for the aero advice will give that a go!

Camber is way too low. Foots suggestion looks too modest.

Drop the front and rear aero as low as possible and then bump it up slightly until it hits the corners just right. Some aero is needed for the track.

Possibly drop the front tire width. Seems like a waste of pi.

Is the build mandatory? If not I would get rid of the intercooler for something like sport centrifugal upgrade, exhaust, air filter, valves… intercooler adds a bit of weight and pretty much makes the hp gains negligible many times. (not saying it never works). It does not work like real life where you put a bigger forced induction in you need something better to cool the engine, engine/exhaust temps are a moot point in this game.

Thanks, looking forward to hearing what you think, ive taken on board what people have been saying, the car feels more stable but I cant match my time now… maybe its cos ive had a few days off, or i got lucky!.

Torrider, the build isnt mandetory, if you think the build can be improved i welcome any advice!

if i get a free moment i will try it out with your build and with whatever mods i can. Not likely to beat my personal best but will def give it a shot.
