I think the washer bottle must hold about 80 gallons

Don't be daft - it's 6 litres IIRC, about 1.5 gallons

Unless you have one of these

I added camber bolts initially to my original coop and set them to approx 1.5 degrees, but hardly noticed any difference tbh. I then removed them due to possible safety issues, and ovalised the top strut hole, putting a c shaped metal packer behind the bolt to keep the camber setting. Again, I noticed little difference and couldn't understand why Doc Frag and others had described such a positive difference on their cars. It did make tyre wear more even on track however.

Now that I can compare my first Coop with Geoffs (my red coop) I can see a HUGE difference in set up, handling and feel. This resulted in me beating my best sprint time by 2 seconds, now some of this was down to tyres, but considering this car is approx 35BHP down on the first one, other factors have helped in improved track performance. This is down to a number of things -

What I thought was a stiff track set up on my first Coop wasn't even close. My red coop has a very stiff ride, which has certainly helped through changes in direction. Depending on the track of course, it would be worth trying the dampers on an even harder setting than you have now.

Practise has helped. Maybe consider an activity or training day? I did one last month in the Clio and it was superb. I'll be doing another one in a few months.

The camber adjustment on the front is much more extreme. I suspect the small camber adjustment I made on the blue coop was a step in the right direction but just wasn't enough. It was maybe only enough to counteract the camber applied by the Konis and lowering springs?

On the same subject, I wore away the outer 1/3 of tread to the carcass on my 172 last time it was on track! I have now fitted H and R camber bolts to the front, and gone for the max 3 degrees setting and it has really livened up the front, and I can see the shoulders of the tyre are wearing less.

What pressures are you running on your Toyos? Have you tried experimenting? What track are you sprinting on btw?

Camber bolts worked well for me on the track, Geoff used avo springs I believe cut down to stiffen them and to lower the car even more, it certrainly changes direction very well, but then ride quality suffers a lot.

A lot of the things have been mentioned, certainly putting in a lighter battery would be a good move, and on the sprinting circuit,.. tyre softener is often used,.... works quite well and difficult to spot.....
