Great stuff Mark :)
We've got 3 X85's at the moment! 1 of them is a very straight rolling shell with dampers, uprights, subframe, beam etc which we are selling although I guess you just want an off the shelf X85 ready to race?
Thanks mate yeah it is lots of fun having 2 identical cars! When's your next Trackday? Anytime!
Haha yes been a fairly swift swap!
No sorry I sent it out with the catch tank
Plan is to keep them standard they are worth so much more as standard cars, keeps them equal, keeps them fairly cheap...
Great day at Donington on Tuesday with the car and Porkies car :)
The cars ran faultlessly all day, we left them on the Dunlop DZ03’s for the day (The tyres we would run if we opt to race in the CSCC Millennium series) Setup is feeling pretty good, a few bits to tweak but nothing major :) We...
As Sonny says i’d be happy with that especially on Paul’s dyno! 2.5” exhaust is needed though and the PMS mani would be a nice upgrade too! I only just sold one a few weeks ago, shame! Im currently selling a PMS manifold back exhaust system for 172 which mates to a 182 manifold that would be a...
Interesting question not too sure really, We ran a road exhaust for noise but it felt like it was really holding the power back but the chassis is great! Didnt get time/weather to get on slicks but my last session in the car yesterday was great and felt pretty quick, I’d been taking it fairly...
Awesome day at Bedford today! First session was on wets and the car was mega! Last session of the day was cool too! Had a few others driving it and common consensus seemed good!
Standard Road backbox felt like a real restriction so looking forward to a noisy day and run it on the loud...
Thanks mate :) no he doesn't I'll try keep putting a few bits up. The Westy is the interesting car and the plans for putting it back together it should end up even more special than before!
Thanks buddy see you there :)
Thanks for the title change again mate ;) defiantly looking forward to it!
Haha too true!
Yeah a few improvements and refresh :) Diff cage kept cracking so modified and reinforced the chassis. Swapping to proper pedal box with hydraulic clutch as the clutch cable was suffering being located right by the turbo. Modifying the rear diff and getting it running cooler...
Been a bit busy so not really had time to do much with the new car yet!
I've got my trailer sold and was going to order a new one from Brian James but then spotted a good one second hand for sale that's the perfect size so im collecting that in the morning
I need to get the ride height...
Old Clio is nearly all gone! Shell is sold to a mate of mine who is going to build it up into a race car so will be good to see it still out racing!
I will get a list together tonight of the bits that are left but it's pretty much all gone :(
Thanks Mark yeah it's only a 9 month old shell so nice and clean example :)
Yes it's a tricky one as you say they are worth more original but it's not cheap to keep sealing them all and keep buying the stickered parts!
I'm getting a set of Dunlop direzzas and see what the car goes like on them...
Haha it will get tweak here and there for reliability but no real modifications planned at the moment just have fun with it! I’m sure in the future will end up doing stuff but have fun first :)
Yeah might loose the Michelin stickers when I do the livery but will have to put them back on if I do any races in the Michelin series!
Going to dyno and compression test it next week but on the Cup racer exhaust they do around 210bhp. Weigh around 1000kg’s no driver but will confirm once i’ve...
New car has arrived :) wasn't planning on getting it till next week but they needed the space so happy days!
Can't wait to get out in it! Few jobs on the list,
Need a bit of stickering and de stickering.
Put a seat in large enough for anything other than an infant!
Give the car a proper...
Suspension went weeks I'm afraid :( could have sold that and the brakes 10 times over must of prices too cheap!
If you decide to sort out some ast's let me know if you want any spring rate details etc I used to love the rates on mine!
