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...

Been using 5w 40 Rock Oil fully synthetic oil for the past few months in the track car, alls fine. Been sent a few litres of 15w 50 Rock Oil racing oil, could i use this? if not why? (i dont mean mixing them :P ) ta carl

as title....is that possible? obv. you can just heat them up and put the crown wheel on but my gearbox guy seems to think spot welding it to the diff would be an idea. Quaife ATB btw carl

Had a day at croft (well half a day in the end LOL) took a few members out in the car and all was well :) Car performed really well with only 1 car passing me on my last outing (a westy).

Hi, can i just cut out the horizontal cross braces where the standard seat runner sits or are these structural? what i wanna do is just bolt the side mounts directly to the floor of the car, without sitting on the metal horizontal cross braces. Possible? :) carl

My 172 Ph2 is f**ked it seems. Was driving along then suddenly it sounded like a motorbike. Noise is comming from head and its popping and banging like a b*****d from the exhaust. The car actually idles and drives. Also the engine bay stinks of petrol. Any idea? 7Ewjs2ohuho qwLkI92EZWo...

looking at adding some camber on the track car. Got some camber adjust bolts but the problem is once the camber is over 1.5deg negative the tyres scrub on the coilover. Fitted some 5 mm universal spacer and hasnt helped much (would need 10-15mm i believe). ph1 172 using Speedline 2118 alloys...

Had a very good day yesterday. Met up with Gray, Clart and Fred. The coilovers have never been setup so the car was handling like a pile of shite for 80% of the day and even at the end it still wasnt 100%. Donnington Park is the hardest track i have done so far but the most rewarding when you...

couple of questions.... 1. When fitting a Mocal oil cooler where would the best place be to fit the radiator? infront of the std radiator? arch liner? 2. When fitting an oil temp gauge, can i tap into a current wire or will i need a new sender unit? where would the sender unit be fitted? new...

Me and Bazzon went to Mallory Park yesterday for an RSOC track day. Was a very good day and i really liked the track! two parts of the track you could touch 115-120mph and doing gerards at 90mph+ was just great. Car drove 3 hours there, thrashed on the track all day and drove 3 hours back. No...

question for electrical minded people on the forum. Got the battery in the boot of the 172 track car. This also features an isolator switch with a fuse box built onto it. Until recently the car has been fine with a 125a megafuse (blow rating of 250a). Blown two of these fuses while starting the...

More of a question but will add a competiton aswell! one of my concerns is that after fitting these ITB's that the car is going to be too loud for some of the tracks. the question is how loud (in db) do you think our track car will be (static noise test)? mods: 172 engine Jenvey throttle...

went to start the track car today to move it from the garage. Turned over, fired then nothing (totally cut out) now there is no power to the car at all. Cant turn on lights, not even the immob light is flashing. Battery is fine and all fuses in engine bay/inside car fine. Any ideas? may just...

Thought i would clump everything together.Previous post in our project thread, Scroll past quotes if you have already read it! 23 December 2008 Since the car was now running we decided to book it into RStuning at leeds to get them setup and mapped. We somehow managed to get to leeds making the...

couple of questions that have been bugging me as of late. 1. What is the tank for in this picture, looks like some sort of catch tank? 2. What is this pipe that looks like a garden hose for? 3. What sort of fuse should i be using to protect an Omex 600 ecu? 4. Theres two master cylinder...
