Jason,

I found my GTD felt light & vague at the front, perhaps not as bas as you describe tho.

To try & cure it I first dropped the ride height at the front (as MK -IV J6 reccomends) & also stiffend the damping a couple of clicks & raised the front tyre pressure.

Malcolm M. pointed out the problem with bump-steer on the GTD's but I don't know if this affects Tornado's.. I'm sure it does nothing to aid high speed stability.

Re the nostrils, Apossible simple fix would be to make a baffle from sheet ally, that fits under the nosrtils & ducts air out.. (hard to describe but basically a flat sheet cut to shape) or I think F Catt makes a similar item.

Maybe a touch more camber would help.. does the steering self centre OK??
