you do notice a difference on track with the car stripped out.
I regularly use the car on the road aswel so have retained the front door cards and carpet (minus the sound deadening crap from under it), its perfectly liveable and isnt too noisy. Increase in road noise obvioulsy but nothing too...
It would appear dealing direct with Holland is the way forward when dealing with AST direct. Although cub said he got a rather swift delivery of his order jtech
Ok well haven spoken to various people regarding the rebuild/refurb of the AST's, below is the various replies i received.
Black Art Designs
spoke to john, brilliant chap. nothing but helpful and pleasant. certainly knows his suspension
regarding the refurb a standard cost of £75 + VAT per...
The rolled clio didn't look too bad considering, was dirty, some drivers side rear quarter damage an 2 punctures.......
Changed wheels an they were back out for a few stints before calling it a day
Superb mate, I'll call the above places an see what they say regarding turnaround times etc.
Ideally I would like them doing now but with trackdays already booked for August we shall see
@Cub. @Phase1sr do you have a link for J-tech, from a quick google search it brings up a company who deal with bike suspension....................is this the correct company?
Have you had experience with either? I may give B.A.D a call as i know a few people with custom coilovers from them, didn't think would undertake the rebuild of another suppliers product though
Looking to have the AST's rebuilt/refreshed soon. i know curtis can do it but from having a rather horrendous time with the chap before i was hoping there was someone else out there that could do it!
Anyone any experience or recommendations as to who else i could use?
Was ludicrously busy. Loads of stoppages (1 of which was my fault), and as Fraser says far too many people refused to move just because they were quicker on the straights.
Tried new geo set up an it was a step backwards :down:
see you guys up there, not sure when i'll arrive mind you with work........hopefully its dry as i cant be arsed changing anything from last weeks set up
many from here attending and going on track tomorrow at the monster unit night? Pretty sure yumen said a few of you were going...................... @cpaterson76 @Fraser.J. @neil a
@scooby-93 im sure its around £175 per round for entry and you need to be a KMSC member (£20 annual fee i believe). You can enter 1 round if you wish, all the info can be found at www.superlapscotland.co.uk
@neil a i reckon your car is capable of sub 59, yumen in his standard power/gbox 172 was doing 1.02's an cracked a 1.01 at a previous sls round. The time is in your car with the power and gearbox
in my ph1 1 consistently do 1.03 and 4's with half an interior and a passenger
Good numbers, should be competitive in SLS (possibly not outright class win pace). power wise that puts you at the upper end of class D, last round the winning time was a 57 something wasnt it?
looked at it, considered selling or breaking............... lost motivation for now. not moved in over 2 weeks now, need another trackday to remotivate me
First off sorry about the bump! I wouldn't be letting the car be removed from my posession, makes getting it back if written off ALOT more hassle! The last time I had a bump the Insurance assessor came to inspect the car in my drive with me present then wrote his report to the insurance company...
too many details unknown to give a guide price.
1. condition of shell
2. what manufacturer made the cage
3. if cage is self made, spec of materials used etc
4. how in/complete is the shell (glass, doors,wings, wiring etc etc)
I had a similar issue with avos I had on my old mr2 turbo, let evo know and they had collected, resolved and returned the shocks to me FOC in less than 2 weeks
Problem there is your relying on the 2nd hand used box being in good working order. If it is then you need to be handy with the spanners to remove an replace it otherwise your looking at £400 or there abouts to have a garage do it, add the cost of the box an it adds up.
depends what value you...
Anyone in the central area with clip able to assist in turning the air bag and service lights off?...............
Carried out the usual resistor method and the lights go off initially then come back on 30 seconds or so later. starting to annoy me having lights on the dash
