When i ordered mine from AST just before Christmas they told me they were specifically valved for the spring rates and i could go up or down on the spring rates by a small amount before they would need re-valving.
I had a set of Intrax on my Mini GP1 which i really didn't rate or get on with, i...
Sounds like somethings a miss there Zach unless somethings significantly changed.
I'm using R888s on the road so hardly lacking in grip and i don't have anywhere near the Citroen CV type roll you're claiming.
I get weight transfer yes, but bodyroll, not really. Yes id want stiffer if racing on...
Even at 70/40 on the road and just above mid point damping, its significantly harsher than the Cayman Rs suspension.
No way id go higher than that on the road as they car simply wont work and be awful to be in.
More than likely the production cost vs items sold. Simply they probably sell 10x the amount of front pads than they do rears.
I find it equally annoying that a set of front Pagid RS29s of the Clio (which are tiny) are basically the same money as the ones for my Porsche which must be 3x the size!
The Clio isn’t exactly lacking in rigidity however I think a front brace is more beneficial in Supporting the loads exerted by a solid Topmount providing its of the design that bolts you the topmounts such as the PMS
Funny you ask mate as i am waiting for them to be delivered. I have kind of chickened out and gone with what i know works and i like.
Ive gone back to Pagid and after numerous discussions it took me little time to decide on them as i just love them.
So opted for RSL29s up front and the RS4-2 for...
Funny enough im treading a similar path.
I have not long fitted AST 5100s to my 182, previously on Cup dampers. The problem with many off the peg coilovers is they're designed primarily for track any are just too highly sprung for the road. Perfect for a polished surface but on bumps and...
My GP never had a rear wiper and BMW changed the whole rear screen on the GP to delete it. It was a pain in the arse sometimes but i did like the clean look on it and was one of the cool quirks of the car. Yet they then went and put huge leather heated Recaros in it #facepalm!!
The Cayman...
I find Billberry wheel cleaner on a brush cleans the tyres nicely before applying any product. The other issue with Megs endurance is it builds up on the tyre and goes pretty sticky and messy after a while. If your tyres have a lot of texture on the sides, it can be a real pain to clean off.
Impeccable taste and superb attention to detail Ash.
Beautiful job so far, and it’s gonna be even more mega when it comes back.
Wish you well with your plans dude, and looking forward to the update. 😎👌🏼
Then you get those losers who have every single receipt including, every MOT and tax disc, and its original bill of sale.
Yet the blazin squad will tell you it’s worth f’kall because it’s got more than 120k on the clock. 😂😂
Small but satisfying job today. When I originally owned the car I was always careful around the delicate and rather fragile fuse box clip.
These were fragile at the best of times, and sure enough, when I bought the car back, this had been broken off.
I’d been meaning to replace the fuse box for...
Another vote for Gtechniq, they do 2.
T1 - Tyre Dressing and T2 Tyre & trim.
T1 is like a very thin white water, really thin and easy to apply. More than durable enough for what i think you're after.
T2 is still water based but a clear gel, almost like washing up liquid consitency. A bit more...
It takes you actually building a really really high fast car before you realise its doesn't equate to proportionally more enjoyment.
Its something you have to do yourself before you get it, a bit like having kids :D
Its just a daily i tell myself. The appeal of the useable midrange torque is nice. But i couldn't just fit an ED kit and be done with it.
It would involve building another motor, which would then be forged blah blah.
Then it would be buying another Syvecs, stronger boxes and all sorts, because...
Ah i was of the understanding they were oil cooled. Thanks for correcting.
The turbo route is something i too dangerously dip my toe into every now and then. However it would wind up a very very expensive route fore me, :D
Talking as a non turbo owner here,
Isn't the ED turbocharger oil cooled and as far as im aware the Garrets run water cooled cores so will require a little additional plumbing.
Not really an issue, but something to consider.
