Re: Road/Track 172 The above pic was taken on the angled floor coming out of the garage. I've gave the joints a spray when I got home but was thinking of fitting rubber boots and grease packing them, like I did to all the rose joints on my cosworth and Porsche ? I noticed that the car seemed...

Re: Road/Track 172 I still have rear pads to change and could really do with changing the fluid aswell. I have some part worn 048's on my pro race 2's and pradas on my 1.2's but might see if I can get some track tyres for the 2118 before the weekend. The 1 degree was the before readings I had...

Re: Road/Track 172 Thanks a lot it has kind of spiralled from what was meant to be a cheap track toy but it is a lot of fun. After a short drive today I think it might get even more expensive soon as now really needs a diff, will try it at the weekend with track wheels on but with Yoko Pradas...

Re: Road/Track 172 First track day of the year is booked for this weekend so last push to get the car ready. Alignment done today after fitting the new hubs, and finally got to try the car out on a bumpy back road :) Fitted a breather tank How the car now looks Also finished the refurb...

Nice video Gaz looks to be going real well.

Where do you take it I always use lady bank tyres. Got some Porsche 4 pots lying so will see what there like to make mounts for.

Looks nice Fraser is that your car all ready to go ? Ive still got alignment and rear brakes to sort this week. Do use have any old front brake disks lying about at the unit I could do with one to try a brake moc up on my spare hubs.

Got back today :) I was going to fire up in the morning to try and buy some tyres for my 2118's ready for next week, but Im going out to Edinburgh with the Mrs now.

Ive never had bother with brake fade at knockhill unless I've stayed out for over 25 min normally boil the power steering before that , 5 track days later and I'm still on the same front discs and pads.

Looks good Frazer the 8th should be a good day if it stays dry.

Sounds like it should be a good day just hope the weather is ok , I still need to get alignment done and could really do with some tyres. Has Ronnie had his shop open at the last few trackdays ?

My car had 16"888's on when i bought it on track it only rubbed lightly on the near side rear, but switched to 15's and did notice a improvement on track plus tyres are a lot cheaper.

I know chip rollers can vary so much thats why i have stuck to the same ones as I can then overly old and new graphs. I know on my old set up we had the standard injectors at 100% which others have had between 210 and 215 out of on healthy engines, on this set up with the Pico 490 injectors we...

Nope chip still on the ED cams but they seem maxed as die on their ass after 7500 rpm, we upped the limiter to 7800 and the power dropped so took it back to 7500 for safety as still on standard rods.

High comp,cams,worked head,jenveys with 140mm trumpets

Looks a good project hope to see it up the Hill at some point this year. I would think your more likely to see 4/5 bhp max from the body and flowed inlet not 10, I would get the fuelling checked to be safe as mine went lean in the midrange after i ported my old inlet.

Re: Road/Track 172 Yeh more happy that the engine looks to be performing as it should as it's the first high comp build I have done, I'm not overly fussed about the top line figures but I'm happy with the gains when overlaid on my old graph.

I'm not sure who will be coming up with me but should be a spare seat for some of the day if your car isn't ready

Yip off to Texas in the morning for 3 weeks training with work.

I'm missing the one tomorrow and the one on the 1st as I'm going to Houston
