[Ad]

Looking good

 

[christurbo]

Thanking you

Had a little play with a std [I think] cup today [naughty me] and it pulled away nicely... cant wait to get it on the track and dyno'd.

 

[Gaz_]

tried i against the ctr yet?

 

[christurbo]

Yes.... the 172 it pisses on it.

When I said 'it pulled away nicely - I meant My 172 pulled away from the Cup nicely/quite easily!!!

 

[skindemon]

^lol!!

badges look much better and inkeeping with the dark wheels.

be interesting to see how the track day goes. Did I read your blog correctly, in that you'll be doing two different types on the day?

 

[christurbo]

Yes there are two courses running at the same time. Should be interesting!

Its an ideal event for open wheelers hence a few caterhams and westies, but I shall have alot of fun trying it out. There are also a couple of VX's going - will be great to see them again.

I need to get my tracking done beforehand though as my wheel is not dead centre.

 

[Fred@BTM]

chris can i suggest that you put the lower platform back on as it locates the rear spring, your current setup is a bit dangerous (thats why i didn't take it off)

 

[christurbo]

I still have the threaded chamber that is bolted in place - the springs are located over these - they cannot dislocate due the length of the chamber. Even when I jack it up the springs do not pop out excessively.

See:- [car jacked up when taking pic]

Thanks for your concern though Fred

Chris you want those mounts putting higher up as per this picture otherwise you'll injour your back in a crash as it pulls you spine tight.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'd move them back to the ISOFIX points

 

[christurbo]

The points about 20mm+ further back???

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah, and further towards the outside of the car

 

[christurbo]

Fred which ones?

1, 2, or 3,?

 

[Fred@BTM]

number 3

 

[christurbo]

Damn - That bolt snapped and is wedged in tight!

What about No 2??

 

[Fred@BTM]

you'll be able to get that bolt out from underneath with some mole grips
