Ah fair enough, not needed over here hence my comment.

I wouldn't bother to fit one personally.

Cheers, sorted.

My Cup on BC coilovers: My Cup on Prolines and Cup shocks: My 172 on Cup shocks, Sportline front and Apex rear: bobthebuilder's on Apex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCkJ45pEUgI5 (Anyone ahead is in a higher class and on coilovers and more power)

But it will raise the car. You also said you wanted the height the same. I do agree with massivewangers but...... A better option maybe Sportlines as they will be in between the Apex and Prolines and behave pretty much the same as the Prolines.

Smooth as possible on all inputs and take a later turn in than normal. Try to avoid any previous rubber laid down on the normal lines.

Had a cracking weekend finishing 2nd in class, behind @Sonic Boom who managed a PB so a great result for us both. A great inexpensive way into competitive motorsport. It may sound expensive for actual race time but if you include watching others all day, then it isn't too bad at all.

I'd put the AD08s on the back and wear the fronts out to replace in the near future.

If you like the ride height and can live with the ride on the road, I would just try new Cup shocks at first. Apex get a bad reputation but I had them on the back of mine and @bob the builder has them all round and we have both raced in Tricolore Production Class. However if you want it setup...

There's a queue ;-)

Thanks and I'll do an update as soon as I've tested/raced on them.

Black car is away for lots of surgery to hopefully make her competitive in the new Championship. Avo coilovers and PMS goodies to go on among other things. I've also had my entries for hillclimbs at Prescott on 23/24th April and Shelsley Walsh the weekend after confirmed, so looking forward...

No it's pretty nice area actually, not far from The Belfry. It's the A38 so dual carriageway which is often used for "top speed test" and a big island with country lanes off. Oh and a Maccys which is probably the problem.

Between Sutton and Tamworth really but not far from Lichfield either.

Peace and quiet restored for us grown ups

Yes mate, due to budget I went for AVOs and PMS brace and top mounts. Job done. Apart from a fresh engine of course.

(Not many near you though)

Went to see my first CTCRC Pre 05 race at Rockingham yesterday Russ. Can't wait to get out at Donny now.

Dan@SJM no brainer

Dunlop Motorsport page quotes 175 as optimum for a 5J. 195 is for a 5.5 minimum

No

Mick at Diamond or Mark Black at Midland Renault Specialists

Was going to suggest Tricolore Production Plus like above. Standard engine but pretty free on everything else. Seems like you have done some weightsaving, so I think CTCRC Pre 05 is out, as you have to have original panels and glass. MSV trackday trophy maybe another option.

Listen to harvsurrey. You can learn to drive a car with your setup pretty quickly but it does take seat time, trial and error and as said TUITION. I'm getting more tuition now, as I feel I've reached a plateau and want a fresh pair of eyes, to gain a few more tenths here and there. (I race too)...

^Startup costs are far less in hillclimbing and sprinting too.

@George@RTR_Parts is best to talk to. Standard discs and pads on rear are fine. Ate typ200 brake fluid and Brembo HC discs at front. Front pads are all down to how aggressive you are and how long you stay on track each session. Some people can get away with DS2500s, then you have others go for...

You can do production class which is essentially strip it, fit roll cage, seat, harness, fire ext, killswitch and go. Standard car to keep cost to a minimum. No coilovers but springs, shocks, exhaust and air filter are free. Then there are a further two higher classes depending on budget or...

Thanks mate. More updates soon hopefully.

Yes I'm still hoping to do Mallory at least mate, as it's so close and not on my other Championship this year.
