My advice: You can play with that car as much as you like i.e corner weights, gear ratio etc etc......but that is not where you will get the
improvements. You need to improve your driving, so work hard at that and leave the car alone. Get a good driving instructor to spend time with you in
your car, and then practice. A second set of eyes giving you real time advice is well worth it. Learn ALL the limits of your current setup, drive
different ways to attack corners etc etc and develop your skills. Just watching your footage I can see lots of places where you can pickup time.
I'm giving this as advice, not as criticism 
p.s. Car looks well balanced and sounds good.......thanks for sharing the vids

Do you have any footage of yourself racing at events?
The hardest thing to do is self analysis your own driving, but as Craig said, thats the cheapest way to go faster
After the 2011 racing season i sat down and watched myself with all my footage and took notes off how i could improve and each track and corner.
Check out the following 2 vids, the first at Cooperabung in 2011. Look how early i brake entering the hairpin, and how shallow i enter the
hairpin.Thus effecting my exit speed, so slow.
Now watch in the second vid again at Cooperabung, in 2012. Best time in 2011, 31.116 secs and 2012 29.920. secs

hey col, i dont have any video of me at all. i have been told by another fellow racer i de eccelerate with the engine to much but man im on those
ankors before the corners.so im not sure how to do this at all.changing down gear or not ,hard on the and keep the revs up???
as for sounding crisp,the carbs are great off the idle circuit but on the idle circuit one of them plays up big time, so im taking the carb to a
specialist to have a look for me....
thanks

Hey cnfabo, looks like you're having a great time with the car mate. Is there a build thread for it somewhere? Love to see how you put it together
and the general specs of the car.

The car sounds good, the only thing I do see is that there is loads of body roll. Are you running good anti roll bars on the front and back?

Must remember we are not racing on billiard table flat circuits but common public roads. To stiff a car will skip around corners causing understeer or
snap oversteer.
Would be nice though
