Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He How come the camera is on the piss for the videos??? I forgot to ask you the other day! Lol

Holy s**t!!!! That would seriously flick my top note having to wait that long! Do you and Tony not bother doing any track days to keep you going?

Here are the kw v2 spring specs I have. Approx 30mm lowering from standard height. 0-25mm travel: 215lbs 25-50 - 435lbs 50-75 - 667lbs 75-100 - 1059lbs. To get some lower and stiffer springs you'll need to get custom made stuff mate. This was what I did with mine.

I've got the rates at home. Will post them up in the morning.

Standard bonnets weigh in at around 10-12 kgs. If you remove the strengthening ribs like I've done you can get a standard one to weigh in at 5.2 kgs. The weight of the fibreglass boot lid you have is impressive as well! If you remember would you be able to weigh the cup spoiler? From memory i...

There used to be one of these knocking around in Coalville Leicestershire.

The point I was trying to make is that you can't just say 'oh 120mm long trumpets will give you x amount of torque' as there are variables that will make that figure higher or lower. Incorrect cam timing for instance can have a really dramatic effect on the f4r engines, even in standard trim...

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" I use Harry's laptimer as well and there is literally every track in the world on there!! It's the pro version I got. Definitely worth the money I'd say!!

There are too many variables that come into play, so there's no way of saying how much extra torque it will gain or if it increases the torque spread I'm afraid. The mapper and cam timing are the 2 biggest variables in it. It's a bit like asking 'how long is a piece of string?' if you see what...

I see no reason why it wouldn't fit tbh.

The rear does have a anti roll bar as standard on a 1*2. They're welded into the rear beam across its length to reduce the amount of twist it has. Not sure if you could fit one to a 1.2 though.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Are you sure your not confusing it with his power steering reservoir??

The weight of my bonnet with all the inner skin removed is 5.2kg. I weighed the bonnet hinges and the guts I'd removed and seem to remember it being around the 4-5kg region. I would therefore estimate a standard bonnet to be in the region of 8-9kg mate.

I am indeed who you think I am Sam! Thanks!

You can cut plenty out of the internal skin of the door, but that combined with the window winder mech will save you around 3-4kg's off the standard doors. You ideally want to remove the side impact protection bars for maximum weight saving. That's a job I've got left to do on mine.

Ok, so, this is the weights for glass removed from my 172 cup. Front door glass: 3.5kg each. Rear qtr glass: 3.5kg each. Rear heated screen: 7.5kg. Front polycarb: 2kg each. Rear qtr polycarb: 1.5kg each. Rear screen polycarb: 3kg. If your interested in the de-skinned bonnet weight let...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He If the Clio goes tits up lap the ring/spa in the BMW mate!!! It will be near enough as fast, if not faster! Lol!!

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" It works out around 50-60% weight saving. 2 front polycarbs weigh the equivalent of one piece of front glass. I weighed everything on mine when it was removed. I've got the weights written down at home for the glass vs polycarbs.

I run mobil shc gearbox oil in mine. Never had a problem with it, and it regularly gets the s**t knocked out of it!!

I have all the weights of the glass vs polycarb windows written down at home. I'll dig them out and post them up. I can also weigh my standard bonnet with the internal strengthening removed if your interested? I took a good few kilos out by doing that. Sure, it flaps around a bit, but it's...

Have a look in demon tweeks mate. They sell them.

It's a shame your not a bit closer to me, otherwise I'd have done your geometry mate, as I have all the kit including corner weight scales for if you really wanted to get involved! Lol! 1.5-2.0 degrees negative camber won't shred the tyres massively mate. Keep it near 1.5 degrees and the tyres...

Just watched this video Jay/Tony! Excellent bit of racecraft! Fair play for keeping your cool after the integra incident Tony! I definitely wouldn't have! Lol

Yes I'd recommend those settings for fast road mate. You'll need all your geometry checking and adjusting if your fitting all new components as well. They do make enough of a difference to knock it out.

You can get 50kgs out from removing the standard seats!! Obviously you need bucket seats so your gonna put some weight back in but only about 10-15kgs max!

No mate it's not a stupid question! It comes down to what suspension setup your running. I run kw v2's and they have a mechanism to allow camber adjustment, some have a slotted top hole that allows the hub to be pulled out/pushed in for camber adjustment and finally there's the standard...

I really like what you've done with this!! A 12sec qtr proves it's no slouch either!!

No mate, all the other settings are non adjustable.
