And so it begins..............

I would like a disk/bell that has maximum clearance from the spokes, can you go further inboard than what you have with yours?

Its all in there along with technical drawings and they will have a printable PDF to scale that gives a cross section of caliper for mocking up. - 24mm disk - Pad Area = 43.5cm³ - Pad Depth = 46.2mm - Thickness = 16.0mm

From a Clio V6, come up cheap now and again. If you find a cheap 130mm centre radial mount then let me know ;)

RARB full & rear's @ 50psi that's all lol. Enough of that anyway, we'll leave the fighting for on track x.

True but just trying to make a valid point that those who haven't driven it seems to acknowledge.... Thats the plan, already started again ;)

Yeah you have gone for a very neutral (dare i say safe) setup, it shows in your videos where it would rather understeer off the throttle on the limit than oversteer. Cups come out the box tail happy and you have dialled it out. I'm not trying to have an argument in here BTW It's just nobody...

Not for £1500 if its got the gearbox side crank seal gone as 90% of the time it will mean clutch as well on top of that substantial list just for the engine.

I'll just leave this here. Scottish Fiesta ST championship leader who happens to be leading a certain current BTCC driver and national fiesta junior champion in the standings... seems loose is fast at KH. http://youtu.be/SCCok01u5UM

V6 lug mount AP's bolt straight to 1*2 hubs supposedly, not sure on the offset's though plus they are 300mm iirc.

They're the right offset for my suspension geomatery, scrub radius etc. I have spent too much on buying/fitting it all to put on wheel spacers and throw it all to pot. I also like the idea of standard disks (as that's what my BBK runs just now) but it just isn't going to work. 280mm kit is...

Ian is that a standard disk of yours you sell...also could you machine up bells to give maximum spoke clearance? Any links ideally to save me asking a million questions.

Lol

Aye Steve I have my own ideas in the pipeline. My car needs to run with 48.5et cup racer 2118's with no spacers and your options are VERY limited. Standard disks just won't work in any shape or form unfortunately for my needs.

Good read and I didn't know there was no such thing as warped disks (there is though in away) and the vaned structure collapsing was a shocker. The abrasive and adherent friction goes a long way to show why DS2500's are s**t and create a higher heat for not much more performance compared to...

Buy it. Try it. Love it

No offence taken Dave... horses for courses. I agree with your comment track/race but that's only because there will be cars in close quarters in racing and you want a bit more predictability to it. I do want my race car to handle more on rails which it will with what's on there but there's no...

Lol....Both but a FWD race car for Knockhill needs to dance from the rear to be quick for me. Most FWD (modification limited) one make series I know have crazy rear pressures and RARB's to get them like that and that's just not at Knockhill. Mark, loose rear means pointy front iirc?

Mark fish is the CS guy to go for safety devices fitted, me personally if a knew someone remotely good with a welder I'd fit it myself, they're really not a hard cage to fit, they come with all the floor plates cut and shaped.

Never, steer from the rear FTW lol. Afaik the standard RARB is solid bar, you would have to get the metal 'sprung' to do it right whatever you do.

Yeah ds2500's in my 197 4 pots aren't magical but must be a hell of a lot better than when they're in oem callipers, I ran oem brembo pads for the first few days I done with that 4 pots and the results were surprising, changed to ds2500's chasing that better feel and started boiling fluid and...

I know, thought about putting a spare 38mm CDS tube I have in there, not sure it will have the right spring characteristics to it though, something to look at if I want it more tail happy, I don't think that will be the case with the cup racer sus setup.... quite the opposite from videos I have...

I know I was gutted, had potential for a good thread. Obv not PC for one of the moderators lol.

What combos have you had? i'v read you like the brakes too...

Into a hairpin... No thank you haha.

Lol, shows there s**t though when braking from 100mph to 30mph for about 20 laps kills them.

I warped disks in a morning with ds2500, no underlying issues. Anyway PF97's are on the race car just now so I'll give them a go for a start.

I'll try it as is with PMS kit on, the axle would need modifying again to fit the bar too.

Think I'll leave it until NEC next year.
