Only you would know ;)

Tbh mate I've rode in various cars with the BC br's on (s2000, 200sx, e36 m3) and yes there firm but there not crashy. I've gone for the softer rear (fast road) setup for now but I'll no doubt go for the harder spring when it becomes purely a trackday toy. I know @Gray and @MicKPM are big fans...

Cheers mate

So that's it, it's loaded off down the workshop tonight to get cracking. Hopefully tomorrow afternoon she'll be all good :)

So Saturday is the day of reckoning, it finally goes under the knife! Going to fitting Scorpion RS240 exhaust with decat. BC coilovers R26r clutch SMF lightened flywheel slave cylinder And all new tie links! I think the missus will be happy as this is the state of the house, after me...

Yeah I've seen a lot of people moaning about the flat spot the decat gives them, has anyone managed to map this out yet?

I've had both, 172, 197 and 182 trophy and I now have a r26 Both cars have pros and cons, as said the 1*2 do feel more "raw" but that's because there made of a lower grade of tin foil and Tupperware ;) I liked both cars for different reasons, 1*2 is a hoot, something about it feels real go...

Yeah I think the overall mass plays a massive part as a standard r26 on track isn't massively faster

I was always happy with them on the trophy and the 197, only went with the ds1.11 after recommendations off fellow Meg owners

Cool, I'm only quoting from experience of the ds2500 tbh. Yeah I think your far better with something like a decent spring and damper setup rather then a cheap coilover especially at this level

I think a good place to start really as many have said is get the car, give it a good once over service and fluid change then got some ds2500 front pads and brembo HC discs, fairly cheap and effective and they'll at least stand up to the abuse Then maybe book some tuition, seems fairly cheap...

That's one thing I didn't do haha

There are good all rounders, but after speaking to many more experienced track day drivers @NorthloopCup @MrBurns best thing to do is focus on driving and having fun, after all we're not competing even though the odd tussell is fun

Put it this way it got me hooked, already got two days booked so far this year now, one evening at Cadwell and a day at Blyton. The cars now going through some extensive changes but still it'll be fairly adjustable when it comes to UK roads as it still has to at least get me to work and back

On a serious note you don't need a massively over spec'd car to go out and have fun, especially if your just starting out or don't have the privilege of a second car. Get out there and have fun, make sure your car is in good road worthy condition and then as your driving progresses modify the...

It's a f**king r****d spider.... What spider you met with 4 legs hahaha

Brings back found childhood memories of this.......

Yeah I knew that, back from when I had a 197 ;) just wanted to know if there was any differences in the two factory wheels

Just a quick on on behalf of a friend, is there any difference in the 197 cup alloys in terms of either offset or width when compared to standard 197 wheels

Haha I've had one out of all the ones I've done, a swift t**t with a nice 'special' tool usually shocks it ;) @NorthloopCup

Good job me old mans still up to the job ha

Premature........

Block and pulley in that garage ;)

It sure did haha

Did the job on the day, we had that to pieces pretty quick

Our efforts of engine crane repair failed, we shouldn't give up our days jobs hahaha

Subframe (more of a cross member tbh) with the steering rack still attached as it seems easiest way. I'll leave the lower arms attached too and just undo the 3 bolts on bottom of hub. I'll then swap lower arms on the floor, then I'll just take the whole leg's off and swap coilovers then. I'll...

On wards and upwards I guess James, good luck with the new venture!

So today a few bits turned up, about there now ready for my week off at the end of the month so I can get stuck in with the work. New drop links and anti twist links, genuine TRW (used by Renault) but at a much cheaper price off mister auto online. Just the wishbones to get now which I'll...

Test them for voltage? Good look doing that with a multimeter! Even checking resistance is fairly pointless especially if it's intermittent as you've got to recreate the scenario so to speak Just buy a new set there cheap enough
