Re: 172 cup sprint/track car - soon to be RS2'd Ast's (not jealous !) very nice, I spoke to Curtis last week about somefor mine but just the fronts as I have rear platform adjusters. The msa look like they are tightening up regs for next year on suspension esp top mounts there are a few...

Re: 172 cup sprint/track car - soon to be RS2'd Looks very good although you can't use rear coilovers as you can't move the position of springs or a rear anti roll bar. I wanted to run these mods but they are not allowed :dapprove:

Looks good , how's the new box and diff going ? My next event is Sunday at Harewood , it's a large class entry of approx 19 caes with alot of very quick cars including a couple of integra's that have been getting quicker all year so hoping for a pb to keep me interested lol

I'd say kw v2 or AST's but both the otherside of £1k. Bilstien look good and are allowed but still best part of £1k Have I seen you at Harewood ? I use Koni adjustables with revalved rears and eibach sportlines but are good in wet but not stiff enough for dry. I am going to fit rear spring...

dished wheel makes it too close imo , get a flat wheel

Ta for info I found some on the bay

Mine were black

Where did you get your spacers from Jay ?

^ The MF springs are uprated from the T ones they are plain black in colour the Eibach T springs are yellow

Can you give us more info on how to do this ? ? Cheers

Curtis @ AST has told me that they fit with standard top mounts.

^ thanks for info.

Can these be fitted with standard top mounts or do they come with spherical bearing alloy mounts ?

I use T1R for sprints and hill climbs, in the dry full treaded tyres are rubbish so I have them shaved down to 3-4 mm which stops the tyre squirming around and over heating but I use a full treaded tyre for the wet as this gives excellent grip. I would say buffing them would help a great deal...

That's a good find , let us know how you get on :)

That's what I said re carpets but got no where. Where you getting diff from new or used? How did you arrive at that ratio ? As 1st will be very short. Some of the cups ( you know who you are lol ) are in a higher gear than me at a few of the circuits. I was thinking the less changes the better...

Looks very steep ? The regs up there are very open , I was moved out of my standard car class the otherday for having no carpets even though I offered to collect them from home and carry them in the boot! still managed 3 rd in class though :)

You can fit it all in the engine bay if you buy a smaller race battery. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LpfGToJLYRA/S4u8Nf4WrWI/AAAAAAAAAKE/ALuMqcK-zHU/s1600-h/DSC_0370.JPG

Thanks. What effects does the different volume have ?

Hey Russ, 1st off what a good job. I was going to try and fit some dcoe carbs a while back but decided it wasnt worth the hassle but this looks like a better job. Just a couple of questions for you ? Which Jenvey manifold have you used and do you have part numbers so I can price up the...

^ thanks I will see if we have one at work.

Anyone know what size socket I need to get the diff out of the case? it looks about 40mm + Ta

There's no way to avoid depreciation hence giving it back after 2 years is what you are paying out.

Can the cam timing be checked or can this only be done when its stripped down? if so what needs to line up with what?

I sprint mine so it's measured accurately.

My 172 does 64 feet in 2.75 secs in the dry 3.04 in the wet.

They are too soft I used the spiralock and some spreader plates either side of the bolt I may still have them. I may be able to get to oulton on sat, could bring them down.

Jay Get some spiralock nuts on as these can be torqued upto standard settings. Ring them up and they should send you a couple of samples foc.
