I'd love to matey but I'm busy that weekend

I don't know a lot about tuning on the F3 engines I'm afraid, not many people fettled with them as most went F7

Usually with tyre profile change too the actual difference in rolling radius is negligible

They're all volvo derived engines the old 8v lumps and yes believe you can swap the bottom end over without issue

Due to issues with both the track car and the daily, the senior management decided the phase 1 was the only choice for possibly the wettest trackday I've ever done bar one at Mallory a few years back. And this time I threw the dice and chucked the R888's on.....unwise. had a mega time though...

Osteoporcarbonosis is a terrible affliction, get well soon you decrepit old bugger :love:

If the thing turned in any better I'd be doing oversteer pirouettes

@Daniel but he's an actual racing driver who can pedal, not a middle age baldy like us who can't tell a steering wheel from a hemorrhoid ring

@Daniel I've never heard of anyone ever running such high pressures on the rear axle is all, sounds absolutely terrifying, especially with zero weight over them that's van with 500+kg in the back pressures

@Daniel 40 rear? f**king hell that must be ridiculously lively 🤪 :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Doesn't look too bad, rsr's aren't amazing tyres anyway, few laps and you'll find them dying off

Great progress and love the attention to detail and parts selection, this will be epic when finished.... And supercharged ;)

Welcome, ask away!

Sodden wet evening session at Donington Park this evening, picked wrong car and wrong tyres really, but had loads of fun slithering about! 🤣

@Romanian Tyre Fitter that's the logic that leads to a full blown hoarding issue

I'm down to similar plus sets on cars, need to sell more tbh as it's just hassle having so much crap lying about

Looks pearl black to me as well, not black gold so 172? Odd with the VIN stuff all missing

Couple from little car meet at the local pub, Williams and a 5 Raider too :cool:

my cossie is stage 4 mapped with competition belt

how do you lose a list in this day and age? all my lists are in the WhatsApp message the mechanic sends me or is it 1984 still in Daniel's world and everything is on beer mats and fag packets still? ;)

There is no red button on a mk3, inertia/crash switch was a mk2 phase 1 thing only

Where did you source the refurbished rack from and was it exchange?

Welcome, happy hunting and Oulton is a cracking place

Right time to do the same for the actually good colours, odyssey next as it's the best 🤪

great read and great save too, that car looks like it's had a bit of a chequered past so nice to see a loving owner with it now!

Only fit genuine discs tbh, most pattern ones are useless

One of the revised design ones I think, I've never run one as never had any knocking issues

I run a carbon one on the daily but that's lasted like 6 months before the stone rash has taken all the lacquer off and looks a state now. Run a Skoda on the phase 1 and that's much better option. Got a proper cup one in the shed but too scared to use it tbh
