It's only because it's your first time on here in about 6 months!! :lol:

Aye Le Mans stickers! Will have more on this year!

Yeah I'm questioning between an ATP or INA...

I have a RR day in March down here in Glasgow. F knows where but I'm going in a convoy so they better know where their goin!!
 
UPDATE:

First of all I have fully bled my Wilwoods and fitted Ferodo DS2500 pads. Still yet to fit my new discs and braided hoses before I am going to start giving them hell to see if they have improved, but initial thoughts are good!

Right so I was so fed up of my fuel gauge reading wrong because of the LCR fuel pump, I decided to sort it out while I'm back at home.
Turns out it's not as easy as just unscrewing 4 torx screws... But after looking at it you don't even need to unscrew anything. Just unclip the level sensor on both pumps and switch them over :) I will post up a full guide on how to change to an LCR pump soon hopefully.

I also fitted my Autogauge boost gauge. Looks good :)

Also having a good clear out of parts in the garage to hopefully get it tidied for the summer! So check out my post in the for sale section.


Only a few niggles with the car I need to sort out now. The ball joint on the passenger side has gone, so I'm going to order 2 new ones and just replace both as I'm sure the other will be on it's way out.
I have also been getting an ABS sensor fault coming up everytime I start the car (very annoying 3 beeps and lights flashing everywhere) so checked them out and they must have melted at Knockhill as they are in some state! So have to replace them both too...
Also noticed while I was there that the CV boots are slightly perished so going to change them out.
AND my bumper is in a very sorry state so when I get a bit of free cash I am going to put it into a bodyshop and get it sorted out. I can live with it for now...
 
Would be great with a write-up on the LCR pump:) Where did you get yours from? Have you fixed your brake issues by now. Bet you´re counting the days until next track day (late mach wasn´t it)

There's a quick write up. I will hopefully get some pictures to go with it.

I just bought mine from someone selling an LCR pump on here I think it was.

I think my brakes are sorted yeah but not sure until I really start to push them with the new discs.
 
Just went for another rolling road day up next to Springburn, just outside Kilmarnock. Supposedly these are meant to be realistic rollers, so what I got for mine I am very happy with :)

242.5hp (216.1whp) @ 4808rpm and 287.7ftlb torque @ 3025rpm :clap:

All that has changed since my last rolling road is an LCR fuel pump and an open cone Jetex filter rather than an enclosed Dynatwist. So either my original fuel pump wasn't really up to scratch, the open cone has done a hell of alot or the rollers were a bit optimistic..! Probably a combination of all of it but I don't mind, I have the bragging figure now, the car feels great on the road and I got plenty of peoples attention! [B)]

Next up is to put on my new ABS sensors when they come through and I will have to switch my front wheels to the back as one of them has a slight buckle... I always thought it was the spacers! :doh:
 
Figures are good Josh but not too sure about the torque curve.
Peak torque at 3,000 then loosing 100ft-lbs by 5,000 rpms

There seems like there could be alot of work done to allow you to hold onto that torque for longer.
You can see why your lighting up your tyres on the hair pin as you going from 150 ft-lbs at 2,000 RPM's to 287 ft-lbs at 3,000 RPM's
With a bit of work you'd like to see that smoothed out and hold onto a higher figure for longer

I know what you mean, but comparing it to my last RR graph it seems to changed the way the torque lasts all together...

Not sure exactly why this happened. I was expecting a smoother torque curve at near to peak.
 
We'll that canna be right
Going from dropping 30 ft-lbs in 2,000 RPM's to 100ft-lbs in the same scale.
What have you done since the last one to your engine?
Would you have been getting wheel spin on the most recent RR?

All I have changed is the fuel pump and the air filter. And there wasn't any spinning on the rollers. Don't really know what it could be.
