Looking at new spec.
Like the idea of Catcam 423's but they would require a redline over 8k to get the best from them.
Obviously i would go for:
High comp pistons
Uprated conrods
valve springs
vernier pulleys (delete VVT)
uprated bottom end bearings
over 8k the hydraulic lifters become an...

He has redeemed himself :-) was very helpful when I spoke to
him regarding my top mounts. I just don't like being blatently lied too that's all :-)

dont think people were staring at the laguna tbh, think it was the bright orange lambo that was turning the heads ;)
LOL nice pics though :D would love either tbh :o
carl
Ours blew our second fuse straight away on second crank, how many fuses have you tried?
Has the car got wet recently? If so try some electrical cleaner and get it dry.
Try and get a reading with a multimeter and get a Reading for both ignition and crank.
Running new cable would not be the...

i wanna try and do as many track days as possible this summer, was supposed to fit poly bushes today aswell but ktec didnt send them next day delivery so will have to wait.

shop? this car doesnt go to garages lol (apart from for remaps :))
there was movement in the camber bolts so im hoping it will be that, will do some photos under hard cornering eventually :)

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*
Replaced the comp solid mounts with AST solid mounts and got rid of the camber bolts and replaced with fixed bolts so shouldnt alter during hard cornering. Instead the AST mounts provide the camber. Will get the suspension fully setup soon.
carl
Currently got AST coilovers fitted with 450lbs springs on the front and 750lbs springs on the rear.
The car is understeering abit when pushing it on track days.
I could either go for a adjustable ARB to help the rear or go for softer front springs.
Question is what sort of lbs should i really...
aye I noticed it looking through your flickr account :-) some very good pics mate :-)
You should have called over and said hello, always happy to take people out on passenger laps

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*
Ok cool :-) have been looking at a adjustable rear arb, you think it would be better to stiffen the rear more (450lb front, 750lb rear) or soften the front? Both would give the desired effect I think but not too sure about pros/cons for either...
It will not be at FCS, too many keyboard tuners on here ;-)*
*real reason is that I'm going to croft to watch BTCC instead
I'll give you a shout Riad when we are going to do oulton park, happy to take passengers out :-)
Carl
see why not post like this whiteley instead of posting comments showing your ignorance?
thanks mate, looking at getting some poly bushes for the whole car so possibly i think this could be the next move :)
carl
exactly! we use comp top mounts (already on the car when we got it) obviously not the best but they do for now with camber bolts. The coilover setup is taken from FMP with 750lb rear springs and revalved to suit. The front is still too stiff though. :)
carl
how on earth do you know same load etc?
what tyres was foxy using? R888's? same road surface? same track?
if not you cannot compare. The printout doesnt lie.

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*
hard cornering lol!
not sure tbh, alot of the cars looked the same on the photos.
think ill sack the camber bolts and go for some adjustable top mounts
