Well I ran 450lb fronts and 475lb rears. To me, the rear was too stiff and the front to soft, so I was going to go up to 500lb up front and 400/450lb on the rear. At the end of the day it comes down to one thing, and that's personal preference. My advice would be go 450lb all round and try it...

Yeah they all had the retrofit alarms fitted for the uk market mate. That's why the siren is fixed in different places across the range.

Cheers mate, I'm really looking forward to getting started now tbh. Ah ok! Anywhere in particular you're thinking?

No problem mate. Yeah that's where to start on a track only car. Maybe start with 90's on the rears though until you've got used to the car.

And that's why Jesus invented diffusers! Lol

Having had ast's, I'd got with them again tbh. Only Nick can answer how good the bilsteins are that he sells though, as they're valved/rated to suit from what I've seen/read. Only downside to the billies is the lack of damping adjustability as far as I'm concerned, but having said that...

I imagine there was a few 'oh s**t, oh s**t' moments followed with 'eurgh' as they bounced off the armco. Then the sound of tinnitus from the airbags going off!

Not a chance mate. I know that circuit probably better than most on here, and he was well into the s**t before he comes into view. No amount of booting it would've altered the outcome.

It's the fact that he's smiling that gets me every time!!

@Niall - lol here you go! That pic was taken on the return journey from Frankfurt airport (1st of 3 trips to that airport!)

Oh yeah I know just how bad it could've mate for definite. I've had a couple of mates who have rubbed some paint down the barriers and taken one for the team in terms of repairs and costs. It's definitely a place that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. No doubt about...

Yeah just cut off the wiring about 3" after the plug and crimp a new one in its place mate. Piss easy job.

No they don't. All the new type crank sensors are the blue sensor body and plug. Originals are black and the internals of the plug are different.

You could always just change 5th gear ratios? I'd need to look at which ones you'd need, or if there's even one available. Only other option is a 089 box out of a ph1, but that'll only drop the rpm down a few hundred at most.

It was going wrong for him waaaaay before he made contact with that barrier.

You're welcome mate, any time. :up:

I've done a screenshot and sent it on to the relevant authorities. You pretty boys will be fine in prison I'm sure. All the best! 😂

I thought you had to run a cat in most series now if the car was builder after '92 or whatever the year was?

I wouldn't bother with it personally. There's more advantage to having the cage picking up where the rear axle mounting bolts are. The more weight you put in the rear, whilst it is the enemy, will also help when it comes to corner weighting.......

Yeah looks good to me mate. Is there no way that you can access it through the hole where the seatbelt mounting point is?

Ah I thought so! That's the same one I had in my mk2 as well. Good cage choice

Ah good stuff mate! What cage you got out of interest?

Sorry mate, wasn't wanting to come across as condescending! Apologies if it did though! You'd have to leave it all loose and then weld it all up in stages. The usual way with weld in cages is to drill holes in the floor for the cage feet to pass through, then that allows you access to weld...

Well you could weld it there, but it won't have the same strength. It's all about the triangulation mate with a cage to create the strength of the safety cell.

I shall find out mate and let you know. He's got all manner of fair ground equipment tbh. I'm sure he said that the dodgems are £1k for a day, but I'll ask him and let you guys know. :up:

Yeah I'm good thanks mate! You? If you're planning on putting the cage through to the strut tops you'd be fine to remove it tbh.

Erm, I know a lad who has dodgems.....:smiley:

It's to help prevent your ankles breaking in the event of a front end impact mate.

Sounds like you've got plenty in the pipeline then mate. Get a project thread up. :up:

A very good purchase for £250 I'd say! Anymore plans for the car?
