Looks awesome. Pictures like this make me want to track mine so badly.

What did you think to ther RSR's on track.
Poor update, drilled all the little brackets out of the inside of my car and removed a patch of sound deadening that i didnt do before. Then painted it black again
I also cut aload of metal out of the rear of the boot, used a pair of tin snips and it glided through it Didnt take it to the extreme so the boots not super flexy and also so my carboon boot cover would still fit.
Didnt get any pictures of this, so this scientific photo shows what was removed
I weighed all material removed today, and it was just under 2.5kg lol.
They were brilliant! Once i got the pressures down they got even better. Really pleased with them Still running them atm and they are fine on the road too.

Good work mate, your carbon fibre panel probably helps hold it rigid too anyway. BTW if that's a spot weld drill bit you have there, i might need to pop round yours one weekend, i have like 2 brackets that need to come off lol. I need to cut my boot skin too, so many jobs, not enough time!
Also 2.5kg is like 2 and a half bags of sugar! fair bit of weight.

I just used a normal drill bit, it pissed it minus one bit where it went right through the car lol.
As for the boot skin its literally so soft.
More weight saving will be happening as it's pretty much free lol

Also anyone know what the black lump of metal is under the engine mount? No idea what it is or how's its attached.

That's the reason why i want to use a spot weld bit! LOL.I just used a normal drill bit, it pissed it

Yeah weight is everything, especially when you work out BHP per tonne. I think my car is now around 940kg with liquids and without me, 212.5 bhp, 212.5/0.94= 226bhp per tonne! Want to get down to 900kg, would give me 236 bhp per tonne
it's vibration damping/noise suppression. There's a bolt under the engine mount. I'll whip it off when it's in if you like

Only managed once, so wasnt to bad
Hopefully after cams mine will equate to roughly 200bhp per ton
hiya you know you wanted my wheels, one decided to make love to a kerb today after some diesel on the road so they are ruined now
Bad times
was good to meet you the other day!

Glad you rate the RSR's as I am looking at getting a set for my track wheels. Another quick question where did you get the carbon panels from?
HrRacing on here I think, good quality too!
Fitted a new cable throttle today, what a pain! Ended up hooking it through with a old coat hanger.
Seems to off stopped the throttle sticking for now also my pedals sit level so result all round.

Really? Found it easier than I expected. But then I used to do a lot of ice so used to threading cables blind in tight places
I honestly struggled lol. Couldnt get the cable to the whole, but couldnt pull it through!
Should've just fired up
Thats what I intended to do, but i literally just yanked the old cable out with out taking much notice of where it came from
Just taken the car for a farmer country back road thrashing and it didnt stick once, fingers crossed!

Just feels nicer doesn't it?

Proper mans way of doing it, pull it out without even thinking about itThats what I intended to do, but i literally just yanked the old cable out with out taking much notice of where it came from

If you say your pedals are now sitting better sounds like it was stretched! So it was probably an old one on your car and almost certainly why it was sticking, good thing you changed it before it snapped!
Probably the original cable!
Also lost the clips off the tatty old carpet/heat barrier so might take that out at some point.

Won't cause problems with the brake reservoir etc?
The thing is my bumper clips on the wings are pre tty broke. So the pins worked fine, until I removed the cable ties that held the bumper rather than bolts as the bolt holes are elongated for some reason. The aero catches work 20x better, I dont know if that's because they pull onto the pin, or cover more area. I agree they are pricey though
Also getting 519 to fit ARP bolts when doing the cams now

Good lad
Tonight I swapped my white williams for some black ph1s and a ali bonnet plus some cash his way.
The white wheels were being borrowed my a mate with a 182. So he has the F1's for the moment. My other mate with the silver ph1 is now running the white williams wheels.
Few random shots.
I will run the F1's for Marham, then get them refurbed anthracite and put some nice new road tyres on. The bonnet will be fitted with aero catches and fitted later in the year

Its something like 6kg lighter, i may be wrong!Good work Dan, little bit more weight saving
Also ill be hitting you up for the spraying of the wheels, hope thats alright
Also will get the grill sprayed as its noticeably different colour, at the North Weald meet i was told it look pink lol.
It is noticeable
Ill sand them down/get them blasted. I wont need to primer them will I?
