Just doing a quick bolt check following a track night at Teesside Autodrome.
How the f**k do you loose the plastic square bit from under the anti-roll bar bush
I fitted a cup anti-roll bar while doing the gearbox so luckily I've got the plastic spacers from the original roll bar but unsure if they are all the same, I'm sure the cup roll bar and U mounts were different
Croft on the 13th May so needs sorting before then!
Some photos from Croft, the day went great and I had zero issues with the car. Managed to improve my lap times by 2s from when I last went in October last year. The LSD and tuition really helped that
I was playing with tyre pressures most of the day, I’m currently running the Accelera 651 sports and back in October I think I ran them a little low at 30psi hot because you could see the side wall starting to wear. This time I started at 34 hot all round and finally settled at rear 31 hot front 32 hot, tbh I didn’t feel much difference when changing the pressures. Probably because I’m a complete novice and this is only my 3rd track day haha
I left the day thinking if only I had a little more power.
Next on the shopping list is a bucket seat (I was getting flung around all over ) and coilovers. Might have to be 2nd hand items for now as I’ve already spent a small fortune when I did the gearbox over the winter.
If anyone has any coilovers with light use give me a DM please
It’s great, I felt like I was flying through the double right handler after the long back straight. Get on to the pit straight and felt like I was on a moped in comparison
Got myself a Sparco Rev QRT seat last month and been acquiring other parts the last few weeks, SW motorsport side seat mounts, TRS 4 point harness and teqiwa harness bar.
Fitted the seat to the floor and couldn't see over the steering wheel SW motorsport seat base and runners ordered.
Decided to go for a harness bar instead of a cage to keep the cost down and wanted to take the least amount of interior out as possible, ended up having to remove a load of interior so could of just found a 2nd hand cage lol I still might buy one if I see one pop up local on market place.
Looking forward to not holding onto the steering wheel for dear life on the next track night on the 24th.
