Look forward to seeing the results. I'm considering doing 423s next year.

I think the Avo are non coilover rear. Also I'm not sure if they're available with 60mm spacing, same with the BCs. Gaz are non coilover rear. The H&R and Bilstein lack damping adjustment. Wouldn't touch the Spax or Ktec's rebranded price hiked Spax. That leaves AST!

I've had Gaz before. They did the job, and did it well for the money. Not much else out there for the same money with height and damping adjustment that work well unless you can get a cheap set of FK Konigsports or similar. My only qualm with the Gaz was the corrosion protection may as well...

How are you finding the Megane Morgan?

Cheers guys, well my wife had got me a voucher for Javelin so I used it to book Anglesey on the 16th. It'll be nice to get out on track again, just over a week to go! :race:

I'd just get it on some decent suspension to start with, renew any bushes and steering bits. Then see about ITBs if you want an extra 25bhp or so. I'd expect you to make around 210bhp with the current spec and ITBs

Subframe needs attention ;) Once you get the head back and bolt all the bits on it'll just need a remap won't it and then it should be ready for summer?

I'd just invest in decent suspension, renew all the bushes and take as much weight out as possible. Its cheaper than trying to get more power.

Lovely cup!

Do you not find them soft or the lack of damping adjustment an issue?

Who's is it? With RSRs and a Javelin trackdays sticker for 30th October.

I didn't think you could get the B16 only the B14?

I just put mine next to the header tank. It consists of the tank, a filter and a 90 degree hose joiner.

Ideally you should have cup shocks for the extra damping to go with the stiffer springs.

The lightest pro race wheel is 73.1mm centre, 5 stud offset of ET45 and plain black. They're 6.2kg. I've got one less stud, an extra 10mm offset and they're silver so extra paint of top of the black. I'm tempted to get some slicks on the Hockenheims...or maybe some cheap Rainsport 3 for road...

If you have book figures they vary on offset, centre bore, number of studs and even the colour! I used calibrated scales so I'd question other figures rather than my own.

I weighed them on the weekend, 0.5kg per wheel. Both sets are lighter than the standard F1s. OZ F1 7.7kg Hockenheims 7.2kg Pro Race 6.7kg

tbf both graphs look good! One would give you more midrange due to the way its setup. For an inexpensive and effective road car setup that would be a great choice. The more linear one would be better on track and the one I'd go for because I prefer a linear curve. You could do that with either...

Koni yellows with cooksports gets my vote. Epic handling.

This is how it sits on the existing Pro Race 1.2s. I've only had them 6 months and a friend has these hockenheims spare. Always had a soft spot for them. What are your opinions? Might look better 'shopped properly with the same wheels front and back with tyres but my MS Paint skills don't...

Nice work, good to see the back to back results of all the mods.

Nice work, looking forward to seeing this build progress.

New throttle cable fitted, all is well again ready for the weekend. Tax paid for and mot booked for next week, shouldn't be any reason for failure.

Dat garage...

I saw that but didn't think it was an issue there.

Why only OEM?

It's ok, I see what you mean :) It was astounding that on the road it felt more compliant but on track there was noticbly less roll. Of course being able to tweak the damping helps with that. I suppose if you consider the cost of Cooksports + Konis you could get Konigsport coilovers for the...

They were new ones. I didn't say the ride on the cup shocks was bad, far from it. The ride on the Konis is just better. Yes, the damping adjustment is useful. All I'm lacking is height adjustment which would be nice to lower the front a bit more and raise the back a tad.

I went from cooksports with new top mounts and cup shocks to cooksports with Koni yellow adjustable shocks and solid top mounts. The improvement in ride was astounding.

I'm a big fan of vvt, when its continuously variable anyway. You could run a gen90 ecu, plug n play :)
