I will be competing at the fastest circuit in the UK at the weekend in my 2nd gen car 'Old Bumble' in an historic race (vintage to you guys!). I will try to post some footage up after the event.

I use a simple equation when I have to choose between two fun options to drive, which one is faster? lol

I would probably take the 2nd gen out again to get a feel of how much more competitive it is with the sway bar change you are planning.

Good luck whichever car you choose to take out.

Yes I have done sway bar mod now and am thinking along those lines as apart from that she ran well last time out. On the 3rd gen I have done a lot since last time including changing head gaskets as they were seeping due to not retorquing down (lesson learnt there with Felpo comp gaskets, redo when engine stone cold not hot!). New rear bearings and seals, 28 spline Moser axles, Eaton diff, and panhard rod relocation bracket, cut down front springs and car rebalanced and its quite a long way to tow (140miles) mind you I guess for you guys thats concidered a local track! maybe i should get the third gen out for a test day first.
