As you may have noticed I'm breaking a TF (

) and had wondered how much of an effect the two bracing bars in the engine compartment would have on an F.
So a couple of days ago I fitted them to the F and over the last couple of days did my regular 80 mile commute on roads I now know like the back of my hand.
On the first morning driving with the new modification I thought it felt a bit stiffer, but thought maybe it was just me wanting it to be an improvement. On the way home after a very long day I had completely forgotten about the modification and going into some fast corners realised just how much quicker the car settled into the corner. On another section, which has a series of quick left-right-left bends, the F just felt so much more controlled.
I would have described myself as a real doubting Thomas about these two metal bars but I have to admit, what a great improvement in handling!
