I'm not debating whether running a charger is a good idea in a race series from a cost perspective, and tbh it's upto James whether he runs one or not. I personally would run N/A in a race series, but largely due to the regs issue. My issue is your statement of "a standard car won't last long...

I've still got the full interior in mine. Just with a cage and buckets. "Clubsport spec" I call it. For track, I don't see the point of stripping it completely. Race, obviously is a different story. I suppose I'm just old and like having my stereo and carpets as I float around Oulton.

Glad the car went well and you're happy with the new setup :) Love this 5, looks great on track, especially when it's pushing other stuff along.

@dinger - not sure what your point is. Mines a road car, yes. But WOT on a trackday is the same as WOT in a race tbh. Its WOT. I recognise 15 mins solid of racing is different to 15 mins road driving. No one said it was the same. But I'd say 4 trackdays lasting all day more than makes up for...

I've just ordered some ASTs. I blame you.

Yeah, Mark and I meant to say, thanks for the loan....epic car 😂

No worries. I can't help i'm afraid, as i'm just Joe Public on the insurance front, so no trader insurance for me :(

Assuming this is insurance, I'll put it in the aptly named "insurance" section.

The phase 2 172 non cup has the same narrower track as the PH1. I know, as I swapped to 172 Cup wishbones on mine, from standard wishbones. It is a 10mm track width difference in total. As said, other than the wishbones, all the rest is the same. I know, because when I swapped the wishbones, I...

Looks great fun, good pictures and race report! :)

Oh hi! Yeah, I'm running circa 0.5bar as it's the highest that stock internals seem to be comfortable with. But yes, I am running ARP rod bolts. Ran 250bhp and 220 lb ft at RS tuning. @Dan@SJM did some destructive testing on his for research purposes :smile:

I've got to go to a family thing mate. Twin brother got engaged weekend just gone.

Afraid I'm out :(

You'll be fine at either Fred's (BTM), Mikes (Rentech) or speak to Alex (Engine Dynamics). All 3 are well known and trusted on here.

Is it a ph1 172?

There is a report button you know, helps us lowly mods no end :)

I'll be there on the Friday. Need to set up and get the car sorted ready for Saturday am.

Wheels - good shout, can't go wrong with TDs and decent tyres are much cheaper for 15s. CSS - get yourself along bud, will be a great weekend :smile: I'm on track in the morning session, then enjoy the "festival" in the afternoon and getting on the beverages in the evening.

De pinning Brembos - sometimes the only way is to cut the pins in half with an angle grinder as they bend. I run upgraded ones I got from @Ph1 Tom to stop them bending / warping.

Welcome along.

I'll be there on the Friday. We're a friendly bunch :)

Mines the "@NorthloopCup" setup ;)

@Christopher. - what do you need from me bud?

10 mins out total. Done with me sat in the car aswell, so as to compensate any 'bulk'.... 😂

Please post something useful, or don't post at all Gents.

I'm not sure. I'd suggest PM'ing AK. Oh..........

Who did you book spa and the ring through bud? I'm keen on a trip next year.

Just finished the other side. They'll line up slightly better when the car is off the axle stands as the weight will be back on the front. :) And to show clearance when the wheels are on lock; Another job sorted. :)

Sorry to hear, but at least he is ok.

I'm running 16mm spacers with these studs mate; http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=231&model=-1 Note the hard use comment about replacing though :)
