Nimbus R27 - now lowered and fitted with spacers

[M88KE C]

With regards the manifold, I would consider putting a new lower engine mount on, you'll notice a grind/knock once it's fitted, it has less movement than the standard item, plus if your replacing it due to damaged flexi joints it most likely the mount that caused the problem. Brakes, I run Brembo hc with dc performance pads, good enough for road use. But as said the dc2500 are very good, the Michelin cup series run Brembo hc with dc2500 without any problems.

Are you running the manifold? I think the mount was about £100, so will see first if there is a problem. Debating whether to try and do brakes and tyres at the same time and chuck something really grippy on like an AD08

Quite a few people run the AD08's Mike and really rate them! They will probably be my next tyre when I finally kill off the Pirelli's I've got on currently.

So I've heard although the Nankangs that [MENTION=1272]Fernandez[/MENTION] has available look really good

 

[Gam]

Yeah I've heard good things also about the nankangs

Much better price too! £95 quid a tyre is very good!

 

[Gam]

Where's that from?

Should have known that

 

[M88KE C]

Ha. Got awful tyres on mine so want to change but think I'll hold off till nearer the summer and do the brakes and sprintbooster ASAP

 

[Gam]

If the tyres are still good there's no point in changing them, get your monies worth outta em.

Drives lovely with them on pal!

 

[Tree200]

I'm really in 2 minds about spacers, don't want to sacrifice handling. Does it feel any different with them on?

 

[M88KE C]

Honestly no, But in all honesty, if you were really pushing the car on a track, take them off - takes 10 mins!

I know @Gez will tell me off but may invest lol :eek:

Ha, I'm sure but as I said, take them off if you're tracking it. For day to day driving it drives nicely, over steers a little more if anything which isn't a bad thing...!

 

[Tree200]

Ha I'm sure I can cope with that!

 

[M88KE C]

Exactly!

 

[Gez]

Elliott! Noooo! :lol:Haha

 

[Tree200]

Haha was waiting for that. Will take them off before track, I'm sure I can deal with the every day driving.
