[incy-spider]

Received the pump

Good hope you use it to it FULL potential!!

 

[Dan@SJM]

I have something in the pipeline

 

[incy-spider]

Good pun!!

 

[incy-spider]

Setup the Bilsteins tonight, camber, toe and corner weight. Feels good to drive now, used string to set up the tracking, first time I have seen it but it's awesome and doesn't bullshit!!

 

[incy-spider]

Cor, what a beaut!!

 

[Chi]

Very nice mate. Best conversion I've seen. . You should start a side line

 

[incy-spider]

3 weeks until Nürburgring, only pads to slap in and it's good to go and get fraped hard!! Only a porsche cayman S a Megane R26 and an EK9 turbo to get ready in the meantime!

 

[incy-spider]

Just a few from this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday @ Nürburgring. Car performed like a dream, engine very strong, bilsteins are amazing for that track, AD08R tyres are incredible. Broke the 9min lap barrier this year, 8:45 or quicker with my mate in the passenger seat telling me not to lift!!! have a vid from my mates porsche chasing me right up my ass making me panic and making a lot of stupid lines into bends and mistakes I did 8:55 so pretty chuffed there is some footage. After 3 years I am starting to remember at least 70% of the track! Haha

Great photos! Looks like it's going well. Glad to hear the Billies and Yokos performed well, as I've got them on mine and am planning a ring trip next year

 

[incy-spider]

Only thing I can say is I had some banging in the carousel but think it was the bump stops, will probably raise mine up 10 - 15mm for next time, not quite the same going on the outside!

 

[incy-spider]

Yep checked my suspension today, the front drivers spring were fully compressing in the carousel which was the banging sound defo need to raise the front a tad, it's not mega low though!

It's more because the damping and springs are too soft mate. Plus the karousel gives the car a real battering anyway.

 

[incy-spider]

I wouldn't say that they are too soft for the rest of the track, I found with a stiffer setup on previous years a lot more hard work.

Was that on a Clio?

Why bother for just one corner? most cars bottom out round that corner!

True, Not sure it's doing it much good though?

Yeah my 182 mate

driving the car around the ring generally doesn't do cars much good LOL!!!

 

[incy-spider]

Haha! Yeah, but give it all the help it can get right?!

Does your suspension set up not have bump stops / spring aids / secondary dampers ( whatever people want to call them)?

 

[incy-spider]

Yeah, carousel eats um

Hey guys here is a very tatty lap in my 182 being followed by my mates Porsche, funny lines, didn't know if he wanted to pass etc but never the less still #under9 ☺️

 

[NorthloopCup]

Any from in your car mate?

 

[incy-spider]

Sadly not, I don't have a go pro. If there was a camera in my car and one in the Porsche it would be funny to switch between that lap and see how much difference there is between the input involved on steering etc, so much more fun in a hatch!!

Shame that. Always interested to see how much effort other drivers put in around the ring. Need to get back there myself and get the 8:15 in the bag. It'll happen. I guarantee it.

 

[incy-spider]

A lap with the guy in the Porsche sorta co-driving was 8:45, knocking more off each year I go, so much more to give, commitment is getting better with each lap, just the year gap between visits gets me, 'is this the..... Oh s**t, no it's the other bit' feeling takes a while to go!! 8:15 would be a great feeling though..... DO IT!!

I've been going for the past 10+ years now mate so the only things I have to get used to is when they've resurfaced some of the track. Everything else remains the same. 8:15 on a TF day will be an interesting proposition as well. That's when luck really does need to be on your side, but that's what makes it the challenge to me.

 

[incy-spider]

Ha, yeah! We had a few showers there this year, couldn't believe how much like ice that track becomes when damp and how quick it dries off again, it rained 15mins before that vid! It's my 3rd year now so still very much learning it! Do you have an LSD in yours?

No mate, no lsd.

 

[Chip-mk1]

No mate, no lsd.

Just cost or do you have some reason for that?

I would have thought there are quite a few sections one would grab you precious tenths here and there, adenau forst etc.

 

[incy-spider]

Pulling wide out of some twisty sections making a lot of tyre noise and wastegate chatter is hilarious!! So much fun, a diff would be very useful but I quite like the rawness of it all!

2 reasons really mate. 1) cost! So f**king expensive to buy new and rare to see them come up secondhand. 2) not enough ponys to pull the skin off a rice pudding! Lol!
This is all set to change though.

[incy-spider]

Last lap of the ring no fuel and very hot tyres, literally jumped from the vid where he's following me straight into the Porsche for a laugh!

 

[incy-spider]

Few bits on there way. Boost/vag plx module to daisy chain onto my AFR module. Can switch between on the one gauge I have and my snappy wheel is being done, ready for stitching and thumb grips at the mo! also thinking of getting a silenced decat to replace the one I have to keep the burble down!

Other than that no more news, car has been faultless.

 

[Chi]

love it

 

[incy-spider]

Thought I'd move on to internal trinkets, need a new nob insert too!!

 

[EvoFq3o0]

I dunno what that module does but it sounds cool you'll be well chuffed with the snappy wheel! Good to see you still progressing mate

 

[incy-spider]

Cheers guys, wheel is done!
