can get a set of Dunlop slicks for a very cheap price, i have been sent this and been told to pick which i want. I have no idea what they mean, which should i go for? lol! using 15" speedline corse alloys
think Bazzon is trying to say that there are these things on roads so whats the point in spending thousands on mods when you can only really go the speedlimit.
Obviously people buy faster cars etc. this helps overtaking and generally making you feel like you have a bigger c**k than someone...

Variable camber at Cadwell....sounds all too familiar :(
and with coppice aye we were taking it in 4th too near enough flat depending on condition/traffic. Its bloody scary when you first do it so i did tap the brake before when i first started lol!
i would go for ITB.
Obv im going to say that as ive got ITB's lol
If you are looking for pub bragging rights i would go for turbo, you will get bigger numbers.
If you want a drivers car with instant throttle response and the noise which you will not appreciate until you drive/passenger in a...
aye cup racers use the different box with different shafts too so getting longer bottom arms would not work with the standard shafts i dont believe (not 100% though)
Ive been looking at the rear camber too. Problem is i have more camber on one side to the other so it would be hard to get it...
LOL stiff isnt the word :P ive knocked the ride height up abit and its helped with comfort but will be getting them fully setup in the near future just have a few things to get sorted first :)
Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*
exactly, they were supplied to Curtis free of charge and Curtis was trying to make a quick buck thats all.

they have been revalved. Its more the fact the bucket seat with 1 inch of padding and bolted directly to the floor. not exactly comfy for long distances.
bareing in mind i drive a standard 172 on the road

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update*
yeah but Curtis even admitted that the current ones were not fit for purpose and badly designed. He mentioned he had a few cases of them braking. A very expensive set of coilovers such as AST's you do not expect the main supplier to be admitting...
ok padel clutch needed then :)
what make rods/pistons are you using or would you recommend?
for pressure i will block the oil squirts under the pistons. Any other ways to help with pressure?

Looking at new spec.
Like the idea of Catcam 423's but they would require a redline over 8k to get the best from them.
Obviously i would go for:
High comp pistons
Uprated conrods
valve springs
vernier pulleys (delete VVT)
uprated bottom end bearings
over 8k the hydraulic lifters become an...

dont think people were staring at the laguna tbh, think it was the bright orange lambo that was turning the heads ;)
LOL nice pics though :D would love either tbh :o

Ours blew our second fuse straight away on second crank, how many fuses have you tried?
Has the car got wet recently? If so try some electrical cleaner and get it dry.
Try and get a reading with a multimeter and get a Reading for both ignition and crank.
Running new cable would not be the...
