That is true! its good for racing and that about it now, just as i want it :)
But I would of chose my 530D over a clio any day of the week for commuting
would hate to commute in mine, uncomfy, loud as f**k, manual for traffic jams? no thanks!
Love the car, but if I couldnt run 2 I would get rid for sure.
I totally understand what you are saying, I did think to sell the car and get a standard one (mine is cammed so couldnt go standard production). The price to put it back to standard would be silly but I love the car.
I was going to go into Road going production, but it has had 0 entries all...
road going =class 1B?
Mod prod = 3B?
The only reason I didnt want to go for 1A is there are no other cars their in the championship, same as last year. I feel it is pointless being the only one in a class, so would rather move up a class and have some competition, even if I do get smashed...
Mine was only done on a GPS phone app so could in reality be lower, speedo was reading over 90 though.
I will be doing the shenstone and district car club championship, I am prepping the car now ready to start in Jan.
Really looking forward to it! it has been a lot more expense then I first...
Very tidy run, I have only done 1 practice day and 2 members afternoons so far. Will be doing my first chempionship next year.
What sort of speeds do you normally get crossing the line? I managed a couple of 85-88 mph on the last run. Not sure how that compares to other similar cars though.
just fitted one of these two minutes ago
Hikvision DS-2CD2085FWD-I | 4mm 8MP Mini Bullet Network CameraDS-2CD2085FWD-I-4
Seems great quality, I ordered a 4mp too to see the difference, its going back now though as for 50 quid more the 8mp is far superior.
First things, new throttle body and car is running the best its ever run (touches wood). I did some speed trap test as comparisons and its only 4mph away from my 340bhp impreza managed on the same stretch of road! god knows how, must just be because its so good to drive and feels planted in the...
Any chance of aquick walkthrough or tips on removing it @eon172 ? I have searched but cant seem to find any guides etc.
I removed the rear seat belts no problem so thats all done.
My idea is remove the airbag then get it all turned off if I can find a helpful soul with CLIP.
Just drill it and use an easy out / stud extractor.
Personally I would get a reverse/left hand drill set and more then likely as you are drilling it will just come out.
hence me asking and saying I don't really know the difference. would a £400 set be as good as a £700 set? logic says no, but it doesnt always work like that.
I am guessing the best thing to do would be to look through everyone's race car builds, and see what they run. There must be companies...
Are they better then the square yellow type ones? I think the one I have now is powerflow or something.
Come on people! lay it on I need a shopping list!
are you selling these now? how much? I have skim read so sorry if I have missed it.
If you have a mould and want it moulding let me know and I can prob do it quite cheap, especially if you supply the material.
Well this weekend i was at curborough practising.
We have to use the middle gate not the bottom one for H&S reasons, so the times are no use to compare etc as no one does that loop.
The track was a 3 lap with figure of eight, this meant starting at the side gate,
straight into turn one...
Some pics of my current set up.
I can afford to go and buy everything at once, but I am giving myself a small budget of a few grand per year. Ideally spread out etc.
Hi Guys
i have done a search but cant find much of a master guide for the information I am after.
I have always loved driving cars quick etc but I have never really knows how to set a car up. I have never done track driving so it hasnt been much of an issue. My mods over the years have always...
I have bought a 172 cup to do sprinting and its brilliant. I do have to sort the suspension as I was on 2-3 wheels a few times over the weekend. They are very light, not sure what the 182 and 200 compare weight wise, i am in at 191-196bhp, I was doing faster times then the 230 bhp rs200's, as...
really enjoyed curborough yesterday, was a great day. I was struggling with traction so much as the with one wheel off the floor or bouncing it just spins instantly.
we were doing a 3 figure of 8 laper from the middle gate, I ended up about 1.8 seconds behind the winner which was a ford KA near...
Runnign standard dampers with ebache springs all round.
I normally Brake to drop my speed just before the corner and then light throttle round the corner, trying to accelerate out.
The movement seems to be with just as i stop the braking before i add some throttle, I will have to test some...
sorry to hijack, I have a problem where if I am going towards a corner quite quick, say 90-100 and have to brake quite hard the car feels like the rear always wants to overtake the front under heavy breaking. The car is stripped in the rear which I think is adding to the problem. It probably me...
