    Does my car have an Akrapovic exhaust?

    Looking at your tips, I would say no.

    Do Quaife diffs diminish turn in?

    I have a Quaife fitted and never looked back. On the track it allows much earlier acceleration in the corner, and i haven't noted any affects on turn in. The only thing to look out for when driving on the road is potholes. It seems to pull you into the pothole if you hit one!

    Flacsi's Racing Red 197

    Hey @Flacsi - Would you mind showing a couple of photos of how you moved the battery - particularly the connections in the engine bay, and how you moved the fuse / relay boxes? Thanks! Tom

    197/200 Battery Isolator

    Hi All Anybody got any experience with fitting a battery isolator to a 197/200 track car? I'm interested to find out how to isolate the ignition live (not the battery itself), whether to do this at the fuse box, the ignition (start/stop button?) or elsewhere? Looking at a solid state isolator...

    @Pro-Line Motorsport - Mitch, I'm looking at the wiring on my car and trying to figure out the battery kill switch wiring - how have you done this? You're local to me so I was figuring you might be able to help me out! :-) I'm looking at the Cartek battery isolator - Here, but it has a power...

    I should also say that in order to get the car low enough, we have taken the spacers off so that the tyre fits under the arch. So i have a set of 4 20mm hubcentric spacers about to go in the for sale section. less than 2 weeks old and driven maybe 50 miles. lol

    Yesteday was my trip to Westboune Motorsport, fantastic place and excellent guys down there - loads of fun. Met James Colburn, lovely bloke. Some of the cars in the workshop (they run around 20 cars in different championships). The white one and the yellow one are genuine Cup Racers, and the...

    Went for a test drive - 3-4 miles to bed in the brakes and see if anything fell off - all good. Apart from the serious brake dust, this might be an issue!!!

    Right. Another mammoth update. So we left off with a nightmare from AST. Curtis finally sent through the correct springs after much d*cking about, so i now have 80nm springs on both front and rear. Eibachs on the front and AST springs on the rear. Rear springs are a funny size, so getting...

    Keeping it quiet from the missus!! Hopefully all all worth while, will find out on Wednesday when I go for the setup. I'm really hoping the new suspensions links have sorted the clicking on full lock too - if not will have to try the swivel bearings next and failing that a new rack :-(

    Standby for updates... Been super busy the last month or so, lots of updates to come, will start adding tomorrow. I've had a NIGHTMARE with AST. It turns out the springs on the 5100s were wrong, they were the road version and so no good for me. I've been on to AST for over 3 weeks in order...

    Thanks mate, and cheers for the pointer! Seems obvious now! It's pretty much on max camber at the mo, but that's not where it will end up once the geo is done.

    Oh well, never mind - they look pretty much the same to me and they're only track wheels. I'm not going to get hung up on what the name of my wheels are. Thanks for your interest though :-)

    How come mate? My thoughts, wider track = less weight transfer on cornering? Interested to hear your thoughts?
