@SharkyUK great pics mate, glad you was entertained :)

@Mini182 James thanks for the offer buy going to trial a different spring rate and take it from there, after chatting to a few ppl it seem to point fingers at rears not being brought up to temp enough, i.e driver input on formation lap and the spring rate controlling the balance of the car. In...

Yes the front toe is loaded up on one side, not sure if this was caused by the steering not being straight, as it says on the graph, but the steering wheel was sitting straight so not sure why it said that, or does the machine guess its not straight by wheel angle? The optics said front was...

Thanks, I suspect the operator didn't turn the steering wheel enough due to the laser clamping onto the wheels as it should be reading high 5, low 6s

I do have a selection of proper metal shims 10', 15', 60'. Im looking at doing a test day next month with different spring rates. The beam is actually sitting straight and toe isn't that bad that would cause the problems.

Popped the car into a local garage for a quick geo check up, I didn't get then to touch anything, just to record the settings. Overall I'm a bit gutted as these settings arnt a million miles off the original setting, camber on the rear has dropped a bit and front has dropped also, but...

RACE REPORT: Castle Combe September 2015 Pre-Race Prep Not a good start to the weekend with a flat battery in the race car, tried everything to recover it by charging and jump starting it, car eventually fired up, but didn't hold its charge. So on Friday I had to drive to MSAR motorsports and...

That's because rolling it bent the beam back in place ;)

Thanks for the head up, tbh I will be coming from Kent so don't fancy driving further out.

Yep shifts a lot, the stub axles are also a weak point and not very straight from factory. I use different shims on either side to make up the correct camber. Remember it only has to shift half a mil and your toe has changed by 5min Well in other news my battery us totally dead so popped to...

I was advised against it saying that the cup spec one when working correctly is more than enough, however I still want one fitted for wet weather use. Where have you fitted yours (if your running one)?

September update 2015 Finally got round to ordering a new bucket seat, I went for the Cobra Ultralite, which is a lot better fit than my previous Corbeau Revolution, and also a few KGs lighter too. Along with that I also removed the old OMP subframe and Renault skeleton and welded in some...

I use DS1.11, i use the factory cup set up with no bias, however I have unclipped the spring from the rear actuator so its in constant "up" position, when you lower your car the beam angle changes pulling down on this actuator so it turn putting more braking to the rear (which you dont really...

Was just about to comment about those rails sitting far back but then realised you have a pedal box....looking good.

Yes mate I saw, Big well done. It was the Silverstone southern circuit

I will be taking it to Mark Fish Mate hopefully. Need to get rear beam looked at as well.

Maybe, thats a few dats before Combe and will be prepping the car (geo and corner weithing) only have 3 days. Will let you know. I

Thats ok mate.

Iv gone back to running Turbospeeds at the moment, previously was on R1Rs, great tyre but after a few cycles didn't find them great in the wet. I believe they have stopped making them but places like Oponeo should still stock them. If they did the Eagle F1 Assymetrics A2s im 15s I would be...

When you doing Brands Martin?

Praise thee Lord... Well done on fitting it yourself mate.

3mm is a lot, I did have shims you could have borrowed, always bring then with me for when I string the car. Yes I reckon so mate, tbh I thought you had lightweight panels anyway.

10ltrs of fuel weighs 9kg iirc )1ltr = 900gr Mine weighs 872 dry (no fuel) 888kg with fuel (set for mid race) Those pit garage floors wasn't truly flat, they was running out to the left, I set the digi gauge on them as was gonna check camber. Hope you shimmed/measured your scales before...

That will def help mate all that weight saving, I did a comprehensive list in my build thread with everything listed, also keep a secondary list on my phone. My doors are Kevlar, slight different internal design as they use alloy reinforcement brackets for the door handles but theres not that...

Great job there mate

That's the spirit Dave

Thanks Martin.

This is true, having to learn to drive the car again, dont think the car has stayed the same for 2 races meetings in a row.

Does it have a intercooler? Maybe a chiller killer system hooked up to that to cool things down maybe?
