    Track car on a budget!

    A small update... New rear discs and pads, along with 1degree camber shims and toe out of for the OSR to level it all up. I have had some time to play with the coilovers and have managed to get to a point where i am extremely happy! It handles like it is on rails! Off to Bedford for a...

    Track car on a budget!

    When i setup the front myself the other week, although it was a very quick alignment and was far from being perfect...i had 12 minutes toe out a side and the front end seemed very pointy - having driven it only a few miles with this new setup, it feels less responsive, so i am going to spend...

    Track car on a budget!

    Had the car stuck on a hunter, by someone i know who owed me a favour...i wanted to know how much camber the BC's were providing up front and to get an idea of where we are. He made a few adjustments...but i think i need more toe out up front. What would everyones experience/knowledge of which...

    Track car on a budget!

    Had the car back on the lift yesterday, to get these latest rear spring perches fitted. I have to say, a far better fit with plenty of easy adjustment in comparison to the shim style setup. Also did the tracking up front too!

    They do exist already...but as i work where you had some done for your noble, it seems like a wasted opportunity not to Andy ;)

    We have something in the works at present for these, although steel billet - with a spring and retainer kit too.

    Track car on a budget!

    Cheers for that...i shall pass onto my technical director and see what we can do. The longest part will be getting the new castings done, so that we can then grind to profile.

    If anyone has the specs that they are looking for, I can certainly look into it and get lead times

    Track car on a budget!

    Finally a very long awaited update with regards to the coilovers. I have pushed for these for the last 6 months or so! So this will allow for easier adjustments to the rear ride height. I've only done a very small amount of road miles with the fronts fitted, but the drive is very positive...

    Fitzys DB 197 track/weekend toy

    @cfitzy6 looks like it is all coming together! Have you gone for a full or half cage? As if its a full cage, good luck fitting it on your own, without having to remove any trim

    A little update again for those waiting. I took delivery of the revised front strut units from BC...these ones fit the hub and I have managed to get one side fitted up over the course of this weekend, between doing general daddy duties!

    Having previously owned a meglio, for those of you that dont know the car, search for "optimus primer" so do know how the megane engine cars go... I stupidly sold it for a new Focus Rs, which i regretted from the moment I sold it! The issue I'm finding on trackdays, is that I'm catching most...

    Track car on a budget!

    Beginning to think that I need some more power, as I cam keep with most things in the twisties...but get destroyed down the straights! Having owned a meglio previously, not really wanting to go that route if i can help it. Has anyone successfully done a low boost conversion, like the 172/182...

    Track car on a budget!

    A little update on the car, seeibg as it had another outing on Wednesday evening at brands. The BC coilovers didn't arrive back in time and the latest update was early September...fingers crossed! The weather was on our side this time and managed to get many laps in! Although some laps were...

    Track car on a budget!

    I asked this question too, as it seems a little strange, but was told that BC didn't think there was enough room - i cant see that being right as the ktec kit that is on the car uses an adjustable platform. The only other reason i can think of is cost? Maybe by adding this, would out price the...

    Track car on a budget!

    We have had a slight issue with the fronts fitting in the hub correctly, but a solution is being organised...its not a problem and this is the point of having a development set, to try and iron out any potential issues. The rears are on the car and fit perfectly! You may notice that there is...

    Track car on a budget!

    These are the development set, so once we are happy with them, then I believe production will then follow. I believe they will be around the £900 figure from what I can work out...but im not entirely sure!

    Track car on a budget!

    Time for another update...I think a few of you will be interested in this one! For the last couple of months I have been incontact with the guys at Apex distribution, who are the UK importers for Hard race, K-sport, Ohlins and BC Racing. After exchanging details and getting some bits...

    Another couple of small additions recently. Another sabelt Taurus for the passenger side and a sabelt cup racer 6 point harness to match. Along with Puretrack direct seat mounts. I got around to fitting the track day door cards too, which helps to make it all look abit tidy!
