Re: Ph1 172
Mapping booked for March 17th :)
It'll give me a chance to get a some other bits done before then so mapping will be the last bit before the summer.
Why's that?
I thought it was good. Very quick changes, didn't unsettle the car at all, multiple downshifts worked well and it blips the throttle for you. Very easy to drive fast.
No front adjustable anti-roll bar exists so this would be welcome.
As Budgie has stated there are already competitors in the market for the springs and rear roll bar. Eibach Sportline, Cooksport and Apex so I would see how to fit in with those. And the only rear anti-roll bar available is the...
Piper cams £320
Catcams 438 or 421 £600
You won't see much difference in performance so you need to decide if you want to spend the extra £280 to say you've got catcams.
That's exactly it. Road tyre price but with good performance on track and they take the abuse all day.
All this speculation for what?! Do you really want to pay more?!
They sponsored the time attack for a while and all of them ran the ksport stuff. A guy in work has them on his 600bhp R33 GTR and my mate has them on her Scooby. No complaints from either
Or maybe its just the motorsport companies trying to justify charging more for the same tyres?! Who knows.
Doubt anyone will ever really find out, Federal certainly won't clarify. And a couple of mm where it fits on the rim says nothing.
Just carry on using them for a cheap tyre. Then if you...
strong money. Around £1300 all in.
Not considered these? http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?p=RE0126POT286X26&a=i with http://www.camskill.co.uk/m31b0s3086p18078/EBC_BRAKE_PADS_EBC_YELLOWSTUFF_BRAKE_PADS_-_DP4002R_-_EBC_Yellowstuff_Brake_Pads_
And then use the spare £400 towards the head?
It's a cheap track day tyre. I doubt anyone would notice a difference even if there is one, which again I doubt.
If you're serious about lap times you wouldn't be running these anyway!
I'll continue to buy the cheaper ones and enjoy them.
The FRS runs a stupidly high temperature thermostat and fan switch. I'd replace these for some more sensible items plus get a scangauge.
The reason they have stat housing and hose issues is because of the high temps they run.
No issues with my tyres from mytyres.
I'd put money on there being no difference in the compound. Wouldn't make financial sense for a manufacturer to do that on a mass produced tyre where there is a single defined treadwear index, unlike other tyres where you get soft, medium and hard like the...
You're lucky to come out of that relatively unscathed but unlucky it went that way due to a broken driveshaft.
Such a shame, this was one of ny favourite cars on the forum, a lot of ingenuity had gone into it.
Re: Ph1 172
Fitted the 4 bar fuel regulator, it much smoother now it's not running lean. Just waiting on the flanges to extend the intake and it can go for mapping.
Quick video of it running now.
Re: Ph1 172
Rev counter sorted. Went through a ph1 ECU pinout to find all the positions that should be empty after moving the wires, turns out I'd moved pin 70 to 50 instead of 55. D'oh!
The Sparco subframes are REALLY high up. I'd get either the OMP ones (cheapest to get new) or Cobra X-Low (lowest you can get) if you can. It won't be that difficult to make them fit. I've got Sparco seats with OMP frames.
As for runners universal ones will do the job just fine. Usually around...
