No need for studs, they only come into there own in ice, Oh and there illegal in Britian

The start of winter toys are here

Box is here and will be sent to Stealth after I get back in January.

The rest will be fitted during January/February/March time.

Once box is back the front end will be off and some changes will be thought about to include a good cold air supply for track and road.

Track will be a head light with its guts ripped out, road will be???... Not too sure yet

Boys boys boys... your WAY behind, lol

I'm planning on drilling holes in the bumper to correspond with these bolts and fit them with gromets

viola!!!

easy fit and remove for track

hehe I knew you'd have thought of that Willie. I was just making sure you weren't losing it. If you ask me you should just stop dicking around and put a vent in the bonnet lol

That's been tnought about too
There is a potential for pressure drop across the fmic and radiator doing that.
Also thought about a wing vent but that's a vaccum point so no use.
This seems to be the one to try first but there is also the potential for aerodynamic issues too.
I'll have the whole front end off so will see what's what then.
Aye Wilz, still live and kicking

Worse min, far worse.

Car hasn't turned a wheel in 4 months.
The Clutch housing has a very small crack in it and currently waiting on update from Stealth Racing when my new GB and LSD is all fitted and well
Also have a very annoying alarm issue that's seriously doing my head in!!

Got house and shed projects growing arms too so not too sure when I'll get around to fiddling with car

Willie mate I notice you used to have Powervane 2 piece discs on your car were they with compbrake bells??
What do you think of them am deciding between these for unsprung weight advantage or go for the cheaper 1 piece of Bills EBC eliptical grove discs
What are your views

Cheers

The power vane ones have an approximate 3Kgs advantage per side over the OEM 323mm 1 piece discs.
The initial cost of the 2 piece set up puts people off, once you have spent this initial sum there not much more expensive than 1 piece rotors.

My car with OEM map (proved 210BHP), light rotors and lighter fly wheel with stripped out interior was neck and neck with a 270BHP/270ft-lbs LCR till ???mph.....well you get my drift.

You choice should be based on you expected use of the car and how you drive.
I drive had and want everything to be very positive so these rotors with DS2500 pads suit me fine.
I've always been willing to pay a bit more for close to the best.
Without going for bigger calipers this is the best breaking you will get for the LCR.

If you want/need/cannot be without the best go for these.

If you just wanting good braking then go for eliptically grooved plain 1 piece discs with DS2500 pads with RBF600 brake fluid
