Dont want to say too much as the owner has been really honest in the add with things it needs/would benefit from. A standard car will go round Knockhill quicker that's for sure.

Custom loom inside and out Batesey? Chucking the relay box makes it much cleaner.

The handling's.....eh...... ​http://youtu.be/FKh15bwnj8g

18% transmission loses. I.e engine power (at the flywheel) 200bhp x 0.18 = 36bhp loses through the gearbox so power at the wheels would be 164bhp. EDIT: 200bhp is just an example (I.e)

Look forward to the track results, I have an incline these are going to be a brilliant wet track tyre with the MPSC esque tread pattern. Don't think they have MSA 1a or 1b approval yet though.

His mate said it was fitted to cover a big dent until another was found, its a mini vent.

If I had a pound for every time I was asked that haha, even this week...... For definite the start of next track season, maybe even out late this year if the weathers good.

Good races but that wash a hell of a knock for a start line bash. I take it you got past the GTO in the end? 1st in class?

^^^ he had positive camber, it was setup like an anti clockwise oval racer haha.

From prices I have seen on here and motorsport ads then about £5k with box, lever, shafts, gear indicator. Engine mounts/subframe another 1k if you don't have them then you'll need a flat shift controller if your car ain't a cup racer. You'll also need uprights, hubs, pins, holders if you want...

Might be those plastic ones :rolleyes:

That's 2/10ths a lap that Gaz haha. Yeah if you can get on with it loose then that's what your wanting, get the turning done before the corner. TBH your car runs circles round mine as it is unless its thrown about. Can't wait to have a race car that doesn't need man handled round.

They have a hardon about it at KH just now, don't get too used to it for SLS.

Well just let me know if they're any use. Yeah its a pretty good track car for the little money spent on the setup, I try to keep it good mechanically. Nope no cage, should really have one in the way I drive it, I'm hoping that's the last track day of this season for me in this car (if I can...

Get F'd. I'll have a look next time I'm on.

Ahem post 4,5 &18

Just an observation I made of the video Mark , hard to tell what it is actually doing. It does look like a tyre/suspension issue more than anything. Mine is very similar on my track cup which is too soft and inadequate tyres for what I'm trying to make it do.

Yeah you could rent the tools if you want, I'm the other side of town from you in Newtonhill but no big problem. Mine is the one with full interior (with buckets) and megane 225 Brembo 4 pots.

Where you from? Knockhill is like a clio playground now. SWR is the closest specialist which is in Falkirk or Stirling, any mechanic with some experience should manage it, I have the tools if you would like to tackle it yourself.

Re: Ph1 172 Hard to say as I haven't tried it myself with cup shocks and springs, all the race car set ups I have seen range from 2.5 to 3.5.

I like your mantra.....get in, drive it like you stole it until it stops. Your car does look to steer from the rear (in that video) and in another thread Fred complained of weird handling, he couldn't describe exactly if it was oversteer or understeer.

Does James's car run a looped hpas rack? I thought he changed to a DCI jobby. To me in that videos, James's car looks like its steering from the rear as theres sudden corrections of steering on the straights and on direction change.....or the diffs snatching and pulling the car? Marks seems...

Nope too long, they only corrode if you never touch them.

Ehhmmmm I'm sure I have a video lapping WITH it that i'll put up when I can, you can make your own mind up.

Re: Ph1 172 My car scrubs the n/s/r outer edges on the RS-R's at Knockhill ( almost as much as the front but its not your typical circuit and I'm partial to sliding the car) so I would say yes.

It was at Knockhill Sunday and two weeks before, I spoke to his mate about the 6 speed fitment.

Still never got a run yesterday :( ps the 1st photo would be followed by a black/white flag two laps In a row ;)

Your car doesn't roll to much so you could away with less camber (than mine that is).... have you tried full hard on the back and softer at the front. My car was struggling for turn in Sunday, must have been the cold track as nothing's changed on mine.

Couldn't see it, I'm going to get a high res disk off him instead of nabbing his photo's all the time.

More front camber will give you that, you still knocking s**t out of the outside edges? Gaz just go for what Mark has got above for a start, you'll need that and more with b14's being so soft. Don't bother with it until you know your cars good mechanically on the front end first though.
