Hi, Been a bit slow with the write up for Snetterton as we have a lot of video to process but we are almost there now! This Saturday is Castle Combe, full 42 strong grid Looking for a decent result of course but im a virgin to driving this track so two more signatures and a class result would be good. We are second in the championship from a class point of view and overall at the moment, huge thanks to Abbey for the support as the 2nd place overall at Snetterton would not have been possible without them. The mx5's are various power below 500bhp, the Evo and the Scoob in GT500 have played with us before and are incredibly quick. No real changes to the car since snetterton, the dash might make an appearance but the suspension will require testing outside of a race weekend and work commitments have prevented me from doing this.

i lent him my car for a weekend about 2 years ago to do this and the outcome was nothing, not suprised he is doing this and doing it badly, it is beyond me how anyone like that has managed to keep trading for this long.

for balance yes you would, this is why the stoptech/ap full kit gets good reviews as it was balaced around the whole car, depends on use tho

thats quite interesting, looking forward to canada, lets hope lewis remembers what red means in the pits

if you need to ask any questions im just round the corner from leamington atm, but i dont own a roadster...

The ap's are what RJN use in the GT4 euro champs, so to say there strong is an understatement, without an oil cooler its difficult to say how long, i used to do ten minute sessions and then a nice cool down, with 20 minute races we do there is no need for brake ducts, they will just slow you down by disrupting the air, however if we go and play in britcar this year then we will fit some brake ducts. Abbey have some decent oil cooler kits for the zed if your interested

i quite like the ap's but maybe overkill for trackdays the other issue is that if your car has no additional cooling then you probably dont want to be doing very long sessions regardless of brakes, oil temps can get high

keep the zed and do one of the following to get to work: walk run beg/borrow other car crawl swim bus helicopter plane catapult A guy i know had a diesel alfa and to be fair it was quite good but it wasnt really an alfa if you get my meaning, you would do as well to buy a diesel golf imo

even with a dremel i would still suggest sanding the mouth, i used an air powered dremel and it was so powerful i managed to lose control of it twice and it started dremelling anything it could see, best bit of advice from me would be take your time, realise your going to get pi$$ed off and allow ample time to take it out on your annoying neighbour

awesome choice chris, lovely looking motor

surely this is just another lichfield imports car? craigy if you havent heard of them go and have a look at their stock

as long as you cool them down properly and take breaks, ie dont do too many laps then they will be ok, I would however always suggest if you have the time/money to get the fluid replaced, OPIE OILS do a good range and you get a discount from here. the stuff i use might not be appropriate for you but OPIE will give you some decent advice.

pff, wimps running with the sound deadening in next youll be telling me you still have carpets...

Hi all, well its that time again, 30th May we are at snetterton in another attempt to show the silly subaru's what a zed can or potentially cant do Entry list is as below, we will be fighting for an overall position as well as a class podium, fingers crossed for good weather as the track has only just been resurfaced! Going to be tough at the top as we will be in contention with everyone in GT500/Super GT as well as Subaru Cup as well as the GT300 class! There will be video again, we also have got a reverse camera now so i dont have to give so many excuses for dodgy lines, been persueded into one of these £10 things on ebay, thanks andlid! lets hope it works Since Mallory, car has had all oil/brake fluid changed, dash fitted and refitted (unsure if we can run that) new front brake discs and we have a clutch on order which should be with Abbey by thursday, fingers crossed! Anyone who would like to come down is more than welcome, im sure we can sort you out with a seat and some food.

glad your enjoying them m8

manifold is a fair amount more work than the Y pipe buddy, was good to meet you yesterday, as i said, the parts, can, all compliment each other, so have an idea of what you want as a whole and then buy it in bits if thats what suits you

i have a black boot, any good?

not for racing, if you mean for street use the amount of work you would have to do on the internals to take nos i suspect would make buy a turbo look like pocket money

well looking at britcar and gtcup, both of which will require about a 30bhp at the wheels hike to be competitive in class. lowest class in both to start with. Abbey have a few things up their fairly decent sized sleeves so i think all things being equal we should see an NA tune on the cards later in the year, the events will be endurance as well though so it will be interesting to see what they recommend.

oh and to whoever said the n/a isnt mod friendly is not quite true, it just doesnt make financial sense.. there are reasons why someone might do it though... im considering things at the moment

if you want 400bhp out of the engine without a turbo you need to call IES and be prepared to give them about £20,000 for an engine that will be rated in time rather than miles,

Mick, at snetterton at the end of this month on the Sunday Brands later in the year

thanks guys, colin you should come down for a beer and some food at a race when you get a chance maybe we could look at stripping that 370z down

actually colin the position was due to me being under pressure by another car following through the pack, ive brought one of these silly £10 cameras to show rear vid as well next race...

pff, in my opinion you should be grateful there is 1 seat in there let alone 2!!!!
