If it helps I've just had my 5100 kit refurbed and revalaved to suit the new springrate. Service is spot on ? @Simon@ASTUK is the man to speak to. Im 110/90 off the top of my head.
Personally I start at 24 for the front and 28 for the rears. I like to end up with 30 front and 34 rear when hot. I find overinflating the rears gives a bit of slide which helps with turn in. Especially for corners like the chicanes at Combe and Surtees at Brands.
A man who knows a lot more about this stuff than myself. Also at my level a day with a pro instructor is going to have more effect on my lap times than the weight of an isolator. ?
It’s a lot more than I thought. Summer holidays are my busiest time of the year work wise and Charlie is in the middle of moving units so I chose a really bad time to need this amount of work. I’ll need a test/track day to remind myself of Mallory before race day. I’ll let you know if I book...
Coilovers have been to AST for a refurb and have come back. (Ouch £ wise). Engines out for new belts, pulleys, radiator, clutch and flywheel. It’s also leaking oil so gotta sort that. Roof and nose needs sorting by the panel guy (That’s been the hold up really as he’s been away). New windscreen...
Hit some sort of fluid in the braking zone of paddock at brands. Lost the back end. Did a 360 and hit the gravel side on. Went over nearly twice.
During the race chasing p10 so I was going for it ?
Thanks guys. The main concern is the a pillars and the front end. Can’t really tell in the pics but the front drivers side has been pushed down and back. We’ve got to rip off the body panels and find out the damage.
Gearbox seems to select gear but obviously can’t test it yet. Boxes are cheap...
Where do I start...
Quali went well. Finished 16th of 33 on the grid and 2nd in class. Halfway through the race lost the back end over paddock. Hit the gravel trap sideways and rolled nearly twice. Ended up on the drivers side and had to climb out the passenger door. Getting the car on the...
Cheers. I found the 888's grippy but after about 10ish laps they would squeal like mad and id start to loose grip and under steer. Checked the temp & pressure and all setup as should be. In the end we overinflated the rears to try and liven up the rear end on turn in. Made the fast chicanes...
Right so Combe. Started off really well then had a noisy rear wheel bearing. I didn't have my spares with me so ran down to a local motor factors in Chippenham and got my pants pulled down on a set of mintex rear disks so we changed that. Then still had a lot of vibration, came in and had...
Getting to the point of starting to look at ecu's to work with Itb's/cams etc. Id like to run something like a Dash2 system as well. Can anyone recommend me a ecu that would work well with both? Plug and play ideally don't really fancy rewiring the car ?
Cheers.
Currently looking at the Tin Tops series with CSCC. Off the top of my head it’s £140 to join the CSCC and register the car then around £345 per weekend.
Sounds like a lot but summer track days start getting that high 😅
Yes only got the interior done. I like the black exterior. Didn’t want the interior done black as it gets so hot anyway.
Love how it looks with the cage half in
