New Track Toy

[Michael Woodford MST]

I want to get into some trackdays. I wanted something cheap and cheerfull to begin with so if it gets damaged it doesn't really matter.

£1300 later i got this little gem. Its been chipped and revs to 8000rmp, just has all new bushes, bearing and breaks.

Im going to strip it out and do a couple of weight saving mods but i think it should be perfect for the job :top:

 

[Aluco]

Awesome no messing just straight tracking it. Winner !

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks like a good buy.

 

[Sanders]

Looks good, ideal car for tracking

 

[Jamie]

So good you should start another thread

I'd just strip it, drive it, see where it's weaknesses are. Too many ppl on here start throwing money at a track car before knowing what/where they need to spend their money.

 

[Addz]

Great little car for the monies!

 

[ForceIndia]

Looks good, but pointless revving that high!

 

[andyhunt]

Quality find! Me and my dad have got a Saxo for this, just testing the water with a view to something a bit quicker!

 

[jamboyscott]

see this is something i would love to do but i wouldnt have a clue where to start haha

 

[Edd]

Bargain, what's it lowered on?

 

[TimR26]

Looks good, bargain for that price.

Whys that. it pulls to the limmiter

40mm springs

 

[Bazzon]

Looks goods, and a bargain. As said 8k Rev limiter is a bit OTT though, 7.2k is enough.

 

[Wests Renault]

looks great, cant wait to get a ph1!!

 

[K1NGY]

beaut!

 

[Lewis_S]

wish i had the spare dough to go full on PH1 Track car!

 

[Brian172]

Looks good mate.
You going to start a project thread?

Its not that massivly expensive.

Just find a car, Nothing too fancey.

Im a total novice so a standard car will do me fine. Take the weigh out of it and then add the bits it needs as your skill gets better and requires it.

 

[SammyT]

looks good, not a bad price either!

The only reason you should need to go anywhere near that type of RPM on track is if there's a straight where you would usually either hit the limiter of have to change up a gear and then change back down straight after. So with the rised limiter you could just stay in the gear.

I wouldnt change at 8,000rpm al the time as the engine would not be too happy.

Thanks for the erm, lesson LOL

I still wouldn't take a standard F4R to 8,000rpm.. simples

i want them wheels

Why are people getting so upset over an 8k limmit.

If theres power all the way to the limmiter why not use it.

If the engine dies, I'll fit a new one.
