[QUOTE="Mavik, post: 713827, member: 23643"] Brought the car for a checkup after the track day at Aylezo Motorsport in Subang Industrial Park. Prior to the TimetoAttack event, I had them do a full spanner check on all the parts and after doing that the feel of the car was a lot tighter and I can really feel it via the steering.
