Ahhh, ok I was with green Kit car then did a few laps in the porka.

What car were you in I was at Donny today!

They are ok from cold, just ok. Wheels will be fine with regular washing but I knackered my wheels because I simply couldn't be arsed.

The more aggressive a pad gets the worse it will be from cold. I loved my 3000s but they do eat wheels.

PS3s knock T1Rs out the water. Today I used about 2mm of rear tyre driving around Donington. Driving>polishing.

looks like a good little car, no idea why you would change the manifold though? Not fancy a 182 4-2-1 item?

Really? Im sure the last one I fitted was LUK.

TBH its more true in race championships that are done on bhp/tonne ratio.

Dave and Nick need to pull there fingers out with that Trophy!

Saw a few clios today, couple of white 200s and a monaco 172. I was with the green Kitcar and blue Porsche.

Completely the other end of the engine to the water pump. We fit LUK @BTM Valeo are ok too.

Power sells cars, torque wins races.

Lovely! I was looking at 987s but sadly my budget couldn't stretch that far. Will you get a hardtop for it?

Russ it appears to be missing an air filter.

LOL! Do you even know where all the pieces are?

Do you still own a 172?

And in the rain, lap after lap after lap. Bare in mind 40 seconds before he is doing 240mph + they're no wheels on the car.

Worth 2k with ticket. Sounds like it will make the perfect racing car though.

I agree it was merely a wild suggestion. Lower everything possible. On WRC cars the master cylinders are under the peddle box for example.

Lower the engine?

Engine swap and dont tell anyone ;)

M3, suspension, slicks. Done Wont be eligible for Tin Top though.

LOL clearly not had enough Scotch today, I can't type.

A little something from my lecture today (by Prodive!) 1kg weight saving at the roof equals, roughly 7kg at the floor.

Doing it for the Boxster, naturally. Hopefully getting it on the shaker rig soon!

Exactly James. I'm trying to write my dissertation, which funnily enough is on designing an entire suspension system from scratch suitable for a track environment.

When I talk about CoG I don't mean decking it on the coilovers. Proven parts are less likely to break though compared to modified bits, e.g 'modded' V2s vs ASTs. ;) This could go on all night. LOL

One point about wheel spin is, as the car straightens up the inside wheel will find traction naturally where as providing it with more grip may just induce power on understeer. I enjoy reading about your project James its certainly a good one, just make sure you're not adding problems with...

Id say its a hygiene factor that will gain you a very small amount compared to the effort required to implement it. Its something we tried with the KTM and found it was using up to much time, money and effort for a small reward. As a driver its something you can learn to deal with. If I was you...

In all honesty, how much faster per lap do you think the car will be with more caster?
