A pair in black, with side mounts for £275. Weigh approx 8kg each. I can get you prices on direct fit subframes too

Its rude to say no but I think I am gonna have too, well until January when my student loan goes in! Subframe prices would be good too.

Got any pictures?

 

[antnee]

PM'd

 

[BIGASH]

I know these pics are pants mate but found them on my camera from Oulton so thought I would pop them up! Might have some of yours from Bedford too will have to have a look

 

[sbridgey]

Cheers, I always enjoy looking at pictures of my car on track, and they are not bad shots, thank you.

 

[danward]

Good thread I like your car, you have some great photos from track days.

 

[sbridgey]

Thanks.

I kind of want this thread to show people you dont need to spend loads on coilovers etc. to get a fast track car.

Great approach, seems that at long last, its not just me singing from that hymn sheet

Exactly and when i find myself overtaking cars running coilovers it cements my point and methodology.

I like this approach, its a very valid one.

My favorite thing was overtaking Track cars then simply driving home, no change of tyres no trailer no problems. Quicker on track and quicker home to bed.

Watched someone with all the gear, 4 pots, coilovers, slicks etc doing 2:14's around Oulton. Could do that in my mondeo

 

[imprezaworks]

Best time I got was around that, was my first time mind

Flol, that is awful. I managed a 2:14 on a meh lap, with warped discs juddering like hell.

 

[Jay Payne]

2:09's should be doable in your car.


Edit: In fact id like to prove it to you, Lol

 

[sbridgey]

haha, I will give it a go next time I am there.

Do it, i want to see you do it!

 

[Jay Payne]

Did a 2:01 in the race car btw

 

[sbridgey]

Nice, 2.09 should be easy then.

 

[Jay Payne]

Need more bravery young man. Let me know when you go again

 

[Sam@NP]

2:04 out the T, I was pretty happy with that.

Haha, BigAsh says other wise. I will let you know.

2:04 out the T, I was pretty happy with that.

That is my new benchmark, might need to shed some weight and get some stiffer springs mind you.

 

[BIGASH]

Bravery..... Simon?.... Are we talking about the same guy haha? He has no fear or at least didn't when I went round Oulton with him

 

[Jay Payne]

Must be scared of somthing if he only did a 2:14.........

 

[imprezaworks]

2.04 In a trophy? Standard?

 

[Flat Eric]

Didn't know you had a thread going Si!
Just had a read.
Roll on Llandow!!!!

 

[Sir_Dave]

2.04 In a trophy? Standard?

Because racedriver.

 

[daveski]

Not sure if Simon is brave or stupid after seeing him drive round Bedford. Fun though.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Vikki said the latter. Lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

In a standard trophy? Very unlikely tbh

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Si drives well, I just stay behind him because its safer

 

[Dan@SJM]

FLOL! I was trying to out brake him at times. Nearly ended badly.

 

[imprezaworks]

Still waiting on this 2.04 lap time video

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

FLOL! I was trying to out brake him at times. Nearly ended badly.

Me and Si had a bit of a play, the conclusion was if he's in front I couldn't catch him and when he let me past it was the same he couldn't catch me. Both pretty even. I know my brakes are better than his but he brakes so late (later than late) every where that he makes up for it. If he had better brakes on his that didn't get cooked he would no doubt be quicker still.

 

[daveski]

Following Si in Mick's car and watching the comedy angle his car got to when heavy breaking for one of the corners was brilliant. Practically on its nose.

 

[Flat Eric]

Looks like I will be having a few passenger rides with Si at llandow

 

[Fred@BTM]

I quite enjoyed try to catch you and would of liked another lap to see what i could do. It does seem our cars are very even which is always fun.

Even with DS3000's the brakes do get a touch hot (on fire at one point), but if I give it half a lap of normal driving they come back to me.

I wish you guys had a camera in your car i would of loved to see that.
