[mr_n]

Page 5! This needs updating!
Hope you liked your tour of the motorsport man cave today

 

[dmallett]

Love the seat, so comfy! Im tempted to get one for the drivers side and leave a standard seat as the passenger seat for ease, keep up the good work mate

 

[Christopher.]

Cheers guys.

The workshop made me jealous Sam

Got the tyres swapped over and on the car yesterday, went for Hankooks v12. Initial impressions are good but to be honest anything was better than the P6000 that where on there !

Also ordered a OMP corsica wheel the other day and hopefully will fit it this weekend if the weather improves.

 

[mr_n]

Looks good with the bolt in there buddy
I'll probably run mine without a cowl so you can probably have that aswell

 

[Christopher.]

Im going to run it without the cowl.

So yesterday I grabbed some bolts from Sam and fitted the new Corsica wheel. Was a simple enough job but got a bit wet Then this morning i gave it a wash and went to Goodwood and took a few photos.

The driving position for me is now perfect. The wheel has got a decent enough dish and is close enough that it now clears my legs. Its about a foot and a half away from my chest. With that and the seat, driving the car is brilliant. Can't wait to get on track

Got to get it in to Rentech soon as the brakes need looking at and also delete the airbag light. Tax is due at the end of the month as well

Wheel is nice Chris.

Can you keep your hands on the wheel to use the stalks? I'd find that annoying if you can't.

 

[Christopher.]

Cheers.

No chance ! I found it annoying when I had the wheel I'm my RB and had to reach a bit more but with the deep dish you expect it, also I'm not using everyday.

 

[mr_n]

You get used to reaching for the indicator stalks after a while. So much so when i drove the yaris after the saxo i accidently punched the dash going for the stalks. Looks good buddy, would like to sit in it now with the wheel fitted, want less dish on mine, i think its a bit too close.

 

[Pete.]

Wheel looks good mate hope to have a sit in it on Wednesday to see how epic the driving position is.

 

[Nyall]

I so wanted an OMP Corsica. But I think I'll get annoyed having to reach for the stalks. Does look an awesome wheel though, I love them!

Car looks clean, love those Clovers too!

 

[Christopher.]

Cheers guys.

Mike and Dave will have a bit more work to do

 

[Tim.]

Nice bush!

 

[Christopher.]

A few whoring pics in the snow !

After having done a few miles on the Hankooks I can safely say there awesome! They grip brilliantly in the wet and there not bad on snow either

 

[Paul172sport]

We will have to have a proper phase one photo shoot down Goodwood soon.

 

[TimR26]

Nice pics Chris, the third one down makes it look like you've got loads of rear camber

 

[mr_n]

He has, its called Stance bro

 

[Christopher.]

Cheers Tim

Knowsit Sam !

 

[Christopher.]

Another job for Rentec

 

[Fletcher]

It turned up quickly then Chris. I need one of this on my bus.

 

[Paul172sport]

You Ll be keeping them busy. Have you had bushes fitted yet?

 

[Christopher.]

Not yet Paul, Got quite a list now !

 

[Pete.]

That will add to the noise and power. Look forward to hearing it soon.

 

[Paul172sport]

Think that's my plan this year. Fresh bushes, ball joints, tre's and maybe set spacers

 

[Fletcher]

De cat next then Chris?

 

[Christopher.]

Probably mate

 

[Fletcher]

Probably mate

Good stuff. I wonder how loud it will be with a straight though pipe/ decat?

 

[Christopher.]

Not too loud for track im hoping !

 

[Paul172sport]

Aren't Goodwood quite strict?

 

[Christopher.]

Last one I went to was 105db !

 

[Fletcher]

Last one I went to was 105db !

That's pretty high TBH.

 

[Christopher.]

Very high for goodwood. Mine was 85 on the day

 

[Fletcher]

^^^Well under then.

 

[Paul172sport]

Plenty of room to get the de cat too then

 

[Christopher.]

Well.....................

And only 2 months ago :S

Only thing that's changed is the k-tec filter, but I don't see how that would reduce the power buy 10+bhp ? Have put the original air filter back in and it does seem a little more urgent through the revs but not 10bhp more !

Will let Rentec see to it and give a good service probably next week now.

 

[mr_n]

-10bhp in 2 months. Better watch out mate. Few months mine will be eating yours alive

 

[Fletcher]

Strange how it lost so much in 2 months. It certainly feels quicker than 158bhp mate.

Sam I'll race you for pink slips when mines up and running again :rasp:

 

[mr_n]

For pinks? Its on.
