frazjam's Ph1 172

[Fraser.J.]

Well track day done today.
Car went faultless as ever. Managed to get a new best time (using Harry's lap timer) 59.97! Aim for this year was a 60, been getting consistent and low 61s for the year when I have been timing. So I knew it would be possible. Someone managed to go even better and hit that 59, even though it is only just!

Not really got many plans for this winter, I'm thinking just a thorough clean all over, the underside is pretty minging, it's covered in rust from the discs so a good decontamination is in order.

The coilies could probably do with a look over, that's a few years they've been getting some hard use now so I think I'll send them away.

Weight saving - thinking fibreglass boot, rear polycarbs and fibreglass cup spoiler. Strip some loom out. Maybe some more holes to drill some where.

Extinguisher and cut off bought and ready to be installed

New bonnet - the flapping has cracked this one right under the diamond

Good time that - was that at your local track ?

Just a quick question :
HLT , do you use the dongle thingy in the obd port for RPM and speed display or just the app

Just the app. I've always used it, don't know how accurate it is but since I've always used it I can see the difference from previous times

 

[barnesautos]

I kinda like it , I like the option of inter-grating the rear camera into the front facing video as an extra in the corner .

With regards to accuracy , you have bettered your time so that's a plus . I guess that's all that matters as your using the same timing device .

 

[Fraser.J.]

Well more weight saving has began.

Cup spoiler off (forsale) ready for the new fibreglass!

Passenger side rear loom out and cut down. No more electrics into the boot ready for the fibreglass one.

You thinking about going the whole hog and not bothering with it being road legal?

Don't be silly. Not yet anyway. I've spent too much on this to not use it on a nice day! Will still have rear lights [emoji5]

 

[Djw John]

Daytime MOT then? You don't do many road miles these days in it do you?

 

[Fraser.J.]

I still have standard lights to put back in the front! Nah not really. I've done a few this year mind, two trips to Blyton helped!

 

[Djw John]

Well, 1.5 anyway!

 

[Fraser.J.]

Well update.

Been a busy few weeks

Fibreglass boot, cup spoiler and poly window awaiting delivery.

New lightweight flywheel bought, fitted and a cup gearbox bolted on

Extinguisher and cut off installed (well nearly)

More weight saving in and behind the dash.

New radiator in

 

[Mash.]

Get the battery cut off in?!

The progress looks good, what's your ideas for the dash?

Not finished, need to crimp on a couple ends to the battery cable and then wire into ignition live. Just need to find out if it's the right one we talked about!

Can someone confirm yellow is right ignition wire?

Dash is as it looks, gona leave the top in but keep the bottom out!

Yeah fair enough matey!

Hmm yeah may just be worth one of us not being lazy and getting a probe out haha!

Ah ok

 

[Fraser.J.]

Car got scruitinered today and weighed.

Cars good to go for super lap Scotland so I'll be competing next year!

 

[Mash.]

Looks great! Keep thinking that if my ph1 was still alive how similar our cars would be haha!

You don't fancy booking It onto bedford GT 27th febuary?!

Too soon for me mate. I've still got a good £1000+ to get a suit, helmet, hans etc so I probably won't be out on track till March/April! Probably won't be down south till June I would think! If only money grew on trees!!

 

[cpaterson76]

Can't believe how light this over my Trophy!!!! Even with you sitting in it!! Lol.....

Yeah that's fair enough mate, yep always forget there's still that bit to go ontop of the build haha.

 

[Fraser.J.]

More deliveries [emoji102]

 

[RMDavis]

Looks spot on mate! Top work!

 

[Fraser.J.]

Aero catches fitted. Just need paint and that'll you be the boot ready to fit!

Also got it on the dyno to see what she's putting out. A very healthy 150 wheel horse power, on a well known low reading rollers.

This should bring me to around 153bhp/ton so not bad for group E in super lap Scotland. (136 to 160) will loose more weight if I can [emoji5]

My mate has been making me a rear tow eye to match the front MAD design one I have

 

[cpaterson76]

Looking good mate.....! Little worried that you'll have 2 things matching on it now....... lol

 

[Fraser.J.]

Well no real updates to this. Got the boot properly fitted, rear tow eye fitted. And some real race car stickers!

Competed in my first Super lap Scotland yesterday at knockhill. Got a 3rd in class

 

[Akay]

Love how purposeful this looks mate, spot on.

 

[JP83]

Looks completely different to CSS last year. Looks awesome dude!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Impressive how light these things can be without going too bonkers, bet it's good fun!

 

[Fraser.J.]

No massive update.

Finished my first season in SLS and ended up third in class.

Car update - it got more stickers!

Plans for winter work
I bought ASTs, KWs are for sale
Stiffen the wishbones
New inner track rods
New bearing in the roll centre kit and top mounts
Fresh fluids all round.

Possibilities
Cams
Gripper
Ultraleggeras

Just need the money to fund the last few!

I have picked up some more sponsors for next year so the car will be getting new stickers too!

I've got the bearing link for the bump steer kit, McGill in Kirkcaldy sell them..... pick me up 2 when you are in :grimacing: £8 each

As for the rest of the list, im sure some quick work over a weekend could see the transfer of parts from the green one to the silver one 🙈
