Well, thought id start a new thead for this car which, over the winter, will transform in to the new race car for next year

Day of purchase...



At home after a good clean:

Well, over the weekend I set about fitting a set of BC Coilovers.

I specified different spring rates to what is supplied normally, and I also got some pillowball front top mounts in on the deal as I have spent a lot of money with one of the UK distributers

Coilovers:



Front:

(Brake lines are just zip tied in place at the moment as I have new front brakes with braided lines which will be bolted when they are fitted)





Rear:





Before:



After: (Not too low as I have to get on the drive)

Pic of the Mugen Twin loop exhaust...

2.5" all the way through, with decat. Sounds nice, and very quite during normal driving, but screams in to life when you get to the VTEC range

Spoon drop in filter fitted...

Looking good mate. Always fancied one of these.

Any major plans? Or just the usual sort the suspension, sort the breathing, sort the brakes and go from there?

very nice bud

Far too nice to race, donate it to the sanchez appeal

You can stick to your Merc Andy Pandy

I have to say mate, Im definately impressed.
Its always a quick turn around with you, Get the car, and then in almost no time at all, its pretty much finished

I know theres still some way to go, but I can guarantee no-one else will get as much done in such a short time

Well, this is the cage it will be getting - I think i will be the first race car Ive had to get a full, multipoint weld in cage...



To fit, it needs the doors, boot, interior and all glass removing but it will be a proper job Looking to start the fitting in Feb by a friend who has fitted the same cage to his EP3 Type R and done a cracking job

i seen that today on the 53, i was in a silver impreza coming off at b and q when you passed

New wheels arrived today - Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's - 15" x 7"

Very light wheel and Ive already tried the brakes inside them and there is about 5mm clearance

Also ordered a set of Toyo R888s to wrap round them

Tyres arrived today.



Had them fitted to the wheels, but it was getting a bit dark when the new wheels where on...

R888s dear boy

POSH BITCH

What are they like in the wet???

Dont forget, I get a heavy cub discount on tyres

They are OK in the wet, not as good as a full wet. If there is a lot of standing water then a good, new, road tyre will be better, but there does need to be standing water.
