Daryl Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Fitted a 48L Pro Alloy tank over the winter. These are baffled alot better than the standard 38L tank, so makes track driving alot better from the fuel starvation point of view, and give you more range. Not cheap to buy, but well worth it.

coldel Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just make sure you ramp up the muppet filter on that forum, it will catch a lot of em. There are some diamonds on there though mate who are uber helpful, just seek em out! Good luck with the car hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Well everything moved a bit quicker than expected, have taken a deposit on the 350 and paid a deposit on the one linked above I will be very sad to see the 350 go, i honestly would struggle to fault it (both ones i have owned), they exceeded my expectations and as an added bonus, met some very very good people, dare i say friends Thanks for all the advise on the VX and have decided to put it to proper use and do a couple of events rather than just trackdays, so in the process of booking up to do my national b licence Edited June 6, 2016 by Jetpilot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Good luck with the 220. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun in that. I just had a basic Elise and that was a fair hoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 MX5 with a SC? See more in my signature First outing on track since the SC went on is 24 June at Thruxton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Not so much any build updates but did an afternoon session at Combe on Monday to familiarise myself with the car and i must say, its pretty impressive. I took my buddy who is a national champion (tarmac rally series) as an additional driver and he was suitable impressed with its capabilities/dynamics. So, not going to change much at present, new set of Carbon Lorraine pads on order and probably a seat and harness bar and sent a replacement wheel to Jack Royal Edited July 14, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Nooooooo - still some nice evenings this week! When I bought mine it was 32 degrees that day and I drove it from Cheltenham to London leaving Cheltenham at 8:30pm getting back around 11pm in London...the whole way with the roof down, it was a divine driving experience.

Jetpilot Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Got my seat and harness bar arriving this week so got to do that to, will get a few 6 am drives in, less traffic then doesnt really like pootling this one with that state of tune also got a fezz heater to fit, mine wont budge from hot, so a bit toasty with these temps Edited July 18, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Good work getting the fezz unit, not many kicking around at the moment, or did he start making them again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Managed to buy an unused 2nd hand one. As the dash has to come out will also trim that in the same alcantara style wrap I used on the zed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 You done well there they were the proverbial rocking horses teeth covered in gold dust Actually if you cared for the choons in the car, people whilst the dash is out often put some small speakers behind the outer most circular dash vents. Although suspect you would not want to add the weight...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 I am not weight obsessed buddy, a couple of speakers isnt going to affect things, cant hear anything anyway with the supercharger whining away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It is quite an easy mod whilst the dash is out so worth considering, just means you sacrifice two blowers for your new air system! Think they are something like 4inch speakers that go in there, pretty sure there is a mod guide on the forum for doing it. Otherwise its a doddle to fit new ones behind the seats, stubby screwdriver and its a 10 minute job switching them over to something a bit more meaty. Have you taken the dash fascia off yet? the long rectangular part? Its only taped on so easy to remove and the shape makes it easy to spray/wrap/dip etc to suit the colour of the car and really brightens up the interior. I went for a red carbon dip on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Best thing for audio is to move to a component setup: The standard setup has the tweeters pointed right at your ear, which is why it sounds rubbish. Put the woofers in the regular place, and then install the tweeters on the dash so it reflects off the glass to fill the cabin. Did that on the VXR, made a MASSIVE difference for peanuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 The interior has carbon replacement panels, centre consul, dash plates etc Will have a think about speakers, thanks for the tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
