Re: Road/Track 172
Diet Time
These arrived yesterday :), and should be picking up a carbon bonnet today. Last night I also ordered a full set of windows from Plastic 4 Performance and another set of aero catches. Im going to hold off fitting these until I see if the group buy for FG tailgates...
The rear screen is moulded in both kits and both kits come with the black borders, in the clubs port the side and door windows are just cut flat sheets wheres the pro is formed all around. I was just wondering how the fit is with the flat pieces in the doors where they will curve, I guess people...
Just been online to look at ordering my window set and there is two types available clubs port and pro. In the spec for both I can only see that the pro kit is fully thermo moulded is this really worth the extra £140 ?
I went with engine dynamics cams fitted them myself, which was a easy enough job they also come with a cam locking tool to set the cam timing.
If you do decide to go with ITB then if you go for Omex Sitech racing at Rosyth could easily map it for you as that's who did mine.
Thats my second track day this year and its been problem free, some more weight saving and a map tweek for longer trumpets and bigger injectors to come.
Yip you sold me the wing mirrors :)
I was going to come over and say hi , but ended up out on track alot as my mates 106 only lasted 3 laps then spat a shaft.
Nice pictures the one with the glowing brakes on the GTR is :cool:, it past me like a bullet coming out of the hairpin.
The red MK2 escort was stunning and sounded crazy on track.
How did you get on tonight seen your car in the pits but never got a chance to have a play on track.
My back tires went off after 2 sessions then my mate put it off backwards at the end of the straight , but was a good night.
Gally Greg did advertise his car but then pulled it from sale and spent more on mods, his car is now on a different level to therest of us lol
As said above that is the average combined mpg, I couldn't tell you what it does in tow as its not something I really bother about. Standard they are...
Re: Road/Track 172
Got my name down fora set of fiberglass door in the group buy and will hopefully get my lexan windows and other fiberglass panels ordered soon.
Where is the best place to get windows? I know of plastic for performance but they are £££££
Coleman. Yes I only kept the R8 for about 6 months it was a nice car but didn't really mesh with it.
I live in leven but I'm along at Sitech a fair bit.
It's averaging 25mpg combined and doing around 35mpg on motorways.
The only problem with getting the focus was it put my Clio on hold for a while, but just orders fiberglass doors for it in the group buy so leaxan windows an fiberglass bonnet and tailgate still to buy.
It actualy puts power down ok in the dry but in the wet it will spin in 5th. It goes well but can still be used daily, these car do make and handle power well. My friends 650 bhp one actualy puts down power better than mine with the way the bigger turbos deliver the power.
Ive had this about 2 months now and added to the spec a bit,taking the power from 440 bhp upto 500.
Revo stage 4/5
Spec R cooler
Spec R boost pipework
Spec R oil cooler
Spec R header tank
Spec R power steering tank
Pro alloy breather
Remus exhaust
Sitech Plenum
Group A K&N
SCC fuel pump...
The car was faultless for the full day we did 5 sessions of about 20/25 min each.
I didnt time any laps but my mate in his 106 was doing 1min7 and we were evenly matched around the track.
