Well somehow ended up going online to buy disks and pads for a trackday , and ended up with a short shift and larger lower boost pipework as well 😂 need to do as much as possible to keep up with the clios on track.
Few changes on this recently , i have removed the side skirt splitters as after fitting some B14 coilovers they made getting even a low jack in a bit of a pain.
I have sold the K sport brakes and went back to standard for now but these will be getting uprated disks and pads soon, still havent...
I run 315's on the LM's and 305's on the ch-r's but the cups are like a lot of track type tyres and are actually wider than the measurements suggest.
Scary thing is it already use to try and spin up in 2nd and 3rd in the wet , and after these mods I could have upto an extra 100bhp lol
I love the look of the forrest green GT2 , very rare car :cool:
Dropped my car off in Chorley on Thursday 500 mile drive down and was actually surprised how comfy the fixed back seats were , even more shocked that it did 31mpg on the trip.
Was good to get a look around some of the other cars...
Yip the turbos had the same wheel as the C4's but were lighter hollow spokes.
The gt2 had the same style as well but were a 12" wide rear and were solid spoke.
I think the new wheel will grow on me , just use to seeing it on the LM's.
The LM's will be going back on justnow as new Cup tyres and wet greasy roads don't mix, get wheel spin at 2500 rpm in 3rd as soon as it comes on boost.
Thanks i do like them from a side profile but from the front they stick out s little too much.
Still not done any track days in this yet but it's been a ideal daily , still tempted to put some BC coilovers on it to smooth out the ride and allow adjustability for track.
I wish that was the case lol
Luckily i do have a spare set of ps2's in these sizes sitting , that i removed from the car when i had the LM's re-furbbed.
One more little change made today.
With now having fixed back seats the location for the suspension canisters on the rear shelf wasn't ideal for adjustment, so i have moved them onto the cage using a couple of motorbike fork mounts.
Before
After
New wheels and tyres , that should be with...
I know a lot of people have a dislike for the LM's on here but I've just agreed to buy a set of these wheels , which again may divide opinion but the LM's will not be going anywhere I will just switch as i fancy .
Few recent changes now has it looking like this , the orange wheels are still going to be used for track.
Will hopefully be going in to get detailed this week , by the same place that did my Porsche last month.
Unless
Unless I go to a Vmax type event at Brunters or Woodbridge I dont think i will be posting any 180mph runs online :smirk: not saying there wont be any made though..
Deposit is paid and the car booked in at 9e near London next month to get hybrid turbos, injectors, boost controller, switchable exhaust and a few other changes taking it to 9e30 spec. 0-300kmh in under 30 seconds.
Very true :)
Ive just booked up for my first track day in it later this year as well , looking forward to it but know I will probably lap slower than i did in my clio lol
Thanks I have been lucky in that since I bought the car back prices have went up a bit so probably worth a couple of $$$ more than I paid.
I am looking to maybe send the car down to Nine Excellence to have there 9e30 tuning package which would more than wipe out any money I could make on the...
Had the old girl in for a late winter protection detail last week as my local detailer had a deal on.
Car washed, dried ,de contaminated, DA'd then all paint,glass,wheels sealed.
Sadly no outdoor completed pics as it was both dark and raining buy the time they finished :sad:
Picked up my 16's yesterday so tried them on today to make sure brake clearance was ok, I ended up fitting a 5mm front spacer but would of probably got away with a 3mm.
The new toyo T1R's will be coming off and going up forsale and will see what 16" track tyres are available, always...
Will look them out from memory I think one has a some kerning but all the tyres are good, and they are straight. Im hoping to pick up some 16's for track this week so will let you know soon.
Very nice I like the way mountune adjusts the cam timing to gain torque in the mid range, wouldn't mind getting one of the locking tools and seeing if adjustments gain anything with Revo software.
I have a set of standard wheels In grey I might sell .
Bad news about the brakes and the suspension, Ive just fitted a K-sport kit to mine yesterday but will keep the standard set up as a back up I think. Did you just run the standard rear brakes, Im looking for a St170 rear set up to fit.
Finally got a chance to fit my brakes today ,:)
I was tempted to paint them red but decided to leave them black ,and paint the rear callipers to match when i fit the 280mm rear discs.
I have also agreed to buy a oil catch tank and symposer delete bung so hope to get those fitted...
I had the CM doors and tailgate fitted and the quality was excellent
Do you have a cage with door bars fitted ? Personally I would not be fitting fg doors without a door bar , if you are keeping a full interior I would not bother either, my doors use to flex at the top at anything over 80mph...
