Much better mate - not sure about the bungie strap though :lol:

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Once again, the small touches still making an improvement!!

I was just wondering... have there been engine modifications??

Mac

 

[ScubaSteve]

not yet, will be next years tasks, either 1.7 SC or 2.0 duratec i think

 

[Flying Scotsman]

1.7 SC? SuperCharged?

 

[ScubaSteve]

yep

 

[PumaJay]

how far do you plan on going with the car?

 

[ScubaSteve]

Don't really have an aim so to speak, I think when iv sorted out its power that will be one of the last major things to do to it, probably forever be tweaking various things though lol, maybe enter it into some msv racing series, would do that with a partner though as it gets v expensive

 

[PumaNoob]

at least your car will be ready for the power, everything is already upgraded! i think duratec SC or Duratec on TB's would suitt you.

 

[ScubaSteve]

yeah deffo

 

[ScubaSteve]

sticky tyres fitted, just need to clean the front wheels and stick them on then ready for combe on the 8th, anyone else going?

 

[boospuma]

toyo is like porn in tight corners ...the more you push ...the more thay like it

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Whats on the 8th?

 

[ScubaSteve]

castle combe

 

[yippeekiay]

:thumbs: on the tyres mate - let us know what they're like on the track!!

 

[ScubaSteve]

So fitted the front two wheels, gave it a smidge of positive rake, and all set to go

 

[PumaJay]

looking superb!

 

[PumaNoob]

Very nice, but would you not be better off getting some different wheels with track slicks on, and then swapping them at the track? Those tyres are very good, very sticky for rd legal tyres, but not as good as some slicks. Then you can really push your car and not worry about scrubbing your expensive new tyres after a track session, on a good day youll prabably do those tyres down to the wear markers.

 

[ScubaSteve]

Most of the guys I know with them, they get a good few track days out of them,.even when they wear to markers I should still get about half what I paid for them plus its only really going to be the fronts that wear quickly:
I am in the process of getting a trailer setup though
