Hi, thought Id post this for info for any track day plans: most track days restrict noise to 100-105 dBA measured 0.5m from the car at 2 thirds of max revs. Some also do drive past measurements obviously further away for induction noise etc. On some "quiet day" events like goodwood, limit can be...
theyre meant to be very good and you drive a cup with sequential box etc. Several friends have done it and recommended I did it too. How much is he asking for and when. Id like to join if hes got a good deal and timings right
ouch. Good to see the crumple zones work on the car and the lighter glass used in the windscreen and windows can resist that type of impact although front seems cracked. Thats a very useful picture. now can you find me pictures of one thats been rolled a couple of times please ...
the cups dont have seat airbags, but there are sensors under the seats to activate the dash/steering airnags. Have a look at Paul172cup seats pictures etc. If you need access to the back seats you can get reclining race-type seats. If you dont need to go for Sparco seats or equivalent £100 to...
look at the next page down, a post by jj172 on suspension. sounds promising. The cup has slightly different suspension setup to the mk2 172 but the same general mods must be applicable. Im also planning to drop the car 20mm max for better handling.
Im about to swap mine for Pagid RS4.2 on Monday.
Ferodo DS2500 are excellent. Mintex 1144 will certainly do the job, or 1155s if you want to push the boat out. You cant chose pads just because theyre called kevlar, or metallic or whatever. Ideally you need to see their friction coefficient...
Im a bit puzzled like Ben on this one. The R-sport ecu improves torque by about 5 odd %. R sport themselves recommend not using it with an IK because its programmed for a standard car, etc. etc. Unless the guys done other things to his cup, I would be very very surprised if hes gained more than...
say hi to Simon at Jenveys, and get him to add you to the list of people asking for a manifold. Maybe hell reach whatever minimum number of clients hes looking for before he finally does this..
