Keep the car balanced and you shouldnt go wrong.

so is it best to go round with some throttle keeping away from the boost zone?
I have Cusco coilovers all round and its sitting low so Im guessing handling will be better than standard.

Yes my car is rwd and my mum/ dads car that I used to drive was rwd plus nearly all the cars I get to drive at work are rwd
(M3's, M5's etc)
Current car is a Merc 190E, not the most powerfull car but still ok for the size, probably around 110- 120bhp? Car before that was a Ford Maverick 2.7 TDI
(cant remember bhp) but then I have drove Powerfull BMW's at work with 500 odd bhp standard.
Thanks for the advice, I will go slow and gradually speed up a little whilegetting use to it

Think I need a new thermostat sensor or what ever it is as my temp guage was going to thetop

and dropping back to half etc all the time or if it was at the top and I turn the car off and on again it will now be at half way.
Theres no air in the system and the coolant is still full.
