A mate of mine follows the CSCC (a mate of his races in it) and he takes loads of pics with his SLR...

Anyway, Here are some of his pics from Mallory on 28th August...

If you are interested in some Hi-Res versions let me know.

Who you asking?

And actually the rear is not lower than the front,it would undesteer everywhere if it was.

Oh and by the way,nice pictures.

Tony/Jay does the car run power steering? and do you have any problems with the fluid boiling? thanks

 

[Jay Payne]

yep runs pas. and nope. We run a Saxo system

 

[adam172]

ayye a saxo system ? .... what does this involve easy to change to that system? what the difference?

 

[Jay Payne]

Raed the build threads mate. Not an easy conversion but does away with the engine driven pump as saxo uses an electric pump to power the hydralic rack (cup race cars ran similar system i think).
Can be turned off and on via a switch, loads of benifits to it. Feels nice too

 

[Tony Hunter]

It's spot on,nice feel and no problem at all.

 

[adam172]

thanks guys think i might loook in to this so i dont need a new rack? and what happens with them belt just put a pulley in? sorry for the questions........(im going to look at your site/thread now)

 

[Jay Payne]

Its an awfull lot of work for a road car mate. the rack is the same, needs a custom hose made or the saxo and clio hoses joined by hydralics speacialist. Its fitted on our car where the abs lives on a road car so to do exactly the same would involve moving htat or finiding somehwere else to put it.

Been asked many times about the conversion, trust me its not worth it unless building from scratch.

 

[Olli3]

Some more from various other locations...

 

[adam172]

ok thanks (that rules that out then lol) just that mine over heated/boiled over/exploded up my windscreen and blew the pump at brands

just trying to see what other have done to keep it cool/stop this happening lol

thanks

great photos btw

 

[Jay Payne]

Normal practice to keep it cool is to have a long pipe run in front of the radiator. could get a pipe made up or get one off another car and get it fitted together. wouldnt be too hard. Most big saloon cars have a 'cooler' (long pipe that turns back on itself several times)

Surely it isn't too difficult to make a pipe for this yourself?

didnt think of that will look in to doing something like this, simple case of lengthening the pipe (to relocate it to a cooler place) then filling with more fluid...
