Bit of a bump because I still haven't sorted this out. Anyone know?

Can't comment on the Gaz ones. I bought the BCs (DR version, digressive valves for better ride and performance) because of my fast road/track setup. B14s were too soft for my needs and aren't damping adjustable (adjustability a big point of coilovers in the first place), and then I could still...

Pressures too as people have said above. Had some new AD08Rs on mine the other week, and at first I was getting a bit of understeer, went and checked pressures and they were at 38psi. Put them down to factory spec and the understeer disappeared.

Nope, previous owner must have turned it off because it had a different decatted exhaust when I bought it anyway.

Mine is non-res with decat. It is loud, but sounds epic!

Yep! ACF-50 on mine as recommended by Kam. Great stuff, true test was my Whiteline as they always rust to f**k, and mine is still nice and silver.

Haha! It was me two weeks ago as well, although the AA guy said mine was too low to get on the thing to be towed by the van (probably lying to save himself the job) so it was another wait for a bloody truck lol.

Was going to Bury from the Liverpool end of the 62, so didn't go that far up. Catch you soon though!

About 6:30 ish in the inside lane being towed by one of the AA vans. Bad times.

Biggest difference of my mods (including coilovers) was the Whiteline RARB. It's transformed the handling on the limit, when it'd normally be understeering the car now digs in and the rear starts to rotate even when on the throttle. Next to no understeer, it's hilarious!

Really from the information you gave about the saving you actually make, stop-start is utterly pointless for the consumer. But nonetheless it's pretty inoffensive so I wouldn't care if my car had it.

Love that colour! Can't be many about?

Looking good! Needs some plain plates next, will look so clean then.

Couldn't you use a wheel sealant on the heads of them and just keep on top of it?

Do you not need some sort of flex though? What with the springs of the fitting kit being missing in a V band?

Absolute hero bus.

Going to be stiff that then, then again might not be too bad when they're set to soft. But I can't comment on how soft ASTs are on the road damping wise.

I've done a lot of man maths recently 😂

I don't know exactly because I haven't timed as such, at a guess I'd say 2/3 seconds, too many variables from last time though, but it felt a million miles better. If not for times it's just more fun, way more confidence in it because it feels more planted and stuff. Really does depend if you...

I use the Elf Evolution 900 SXR 5W-40 (the standard oil for the car), as said above it's actually quite cheap. As for box oil, there is the standard Elf NFJ 75W-80. You can use the Redline stuff if you do a lot of track work etc or don't want to change it as frequently.

Yep! 30 settings. This time on track I just ran them on full hard because the surface is smooth and I'm running R888s so you can run it harder, in retrospect I should maybe have played around a bit more but the car felt great like that and I was too busy enjoying it to come in and start changing...

New profile picture for him right there 😂

Cheers mate! I'm actually in Leeds as we speak haha. Definitely have to get photos of the two together. Yeah I've been thinking that for a while, but I don't want full on LED because they can look a bit chavtastic, want something quite dim and discreet, nothing blue, something the same colour...

Nurburgring just seems like a major ball ache. A simple mechanical failure can land you with a huge debt. I'll go one day and do one lap to get a photo on the Carousell then f**k off and get a beer and watch everyone else.

Dreadful work that. Hate these garages that do stuff without consulting the client, especially something as permanent as welding. How these people make a living from it being so unprofessional I'll never know.

Another update. With the trackday on 23rd August booked, it was time to do a few bits to make sure the car was ready. Mostly in the brake area. Brake Callipers rebuilt with Bigg Red Seal kit, painted with high temp silver Aluminium paint Motul RBF 660 brake fluid added Brake ducting added...

That 911 engine at full chat is absolute p**n though. That bit when he's going through the gears and it cuts to the pedal cam, epic.

Love Harris for this reason. He'd be excused for being a snob with the level of stuff he does, but still loves (and buys with his own money!) stuff like this. Legend!

This is why I stick to specialists, do stuff myself, or with a knowledgeable mate. Local garages are just professional bodgers and corner cutters.
