Hijet 1.3 16v at Teeside Autodrome Track day 24/8/2020 (need more speed)

It was time to put all of my mods to the test and send it round a track, safe to say it handles far better than a standard hijet. I have to apologize for the poor edit, I had filmed my prep work and integrated it into this video but the editing software stretched the footage, it was very distorted, I looked like Hey Arnold. The spec of my van is as follows: Standard engine (aprox 70bhp), gearbox and clutch. Welded Diff. Foam pipercross style air filter. Transit mk5 exhaust silencer with standard cat Fully adjustable bottom arms. Front Coilover Sleeves with 300lb springs Adjustable Gaz front dampers. Completely standard rear suspension setup. 13x7 et0 rear wheels with 175/60/13 maxxis victra ma510n. 13x5.5 et0 front rims with 155/65/13 maxxis victra ma510n. The van is really well balanced even when its on two wheels. it could do with about 30bhp more so that I can comfortably beat the mx5s etc. I also want to fit a 5:1 crown wheel and pinion from a diesel hijet/porter. I am looking at fitting a 1.6 engine from a Daihatsu sportrak which would help with my lack of speed. I didnt manage to film the last two sessions, I was going much faster, my dad said he was relieved when I came in as the van was constantly on two wheels.I will be investing in some kit to film better quality videos in the future. Hope you like my video. Thanks for watching :)
