well after three years in the making i think im now ready to take the piece of sh1t to its doom in germany.
i finally got the running temp down. now running around in the 70c or 57c in the morning while its cold before refitting the stat.
i polished it today and did the geometry to fast road spec
here are the pics. i wanted to be perfectly legal so i have had the front plate made with the propper refective backing.
i have had two comments on how crap the tail pipes are today so ill be hacking them off after next weekend
this is the solousion to the overheating.
i layed the intercooler down
this is before and after measurments. ive tried to get a bit racy without killing the tyres.
as you may notice the front is tecnically out of spec but is a better set up for track. it has made a big difference to the handling. it is now very predictable. i have had the back out a few times and it just seems to be much more controlable. before you would wait for something to happen and it would suddenly jump out.
roll on friday, germany here i come. ;)
Looking great Jay. Glad you got the running temp. down at last. good luck in Germany next week.
Who said your pipes were crap? I say go with it, unless you dont like them yourself.
Have fun at the ring!
Hack em OFF :flamed
make em look like these :cool
and then rip off your front spoiler and give it too me cos i need it more than you!! ;)
oh by the way, gald you got your temps sorted, hope the air temps stay good, excellent idea that ;)
see ya tomorrow
You need to get a deburring tool around your tips mate, theres a shocking burr been thrown up there, must be cutting into the flow and everthing! :D :rollin

Why? :rollin :rollin :rollin
i do like the tailpipes on antnic and trex\'s cars much better than mine. :god :god you are both my heros. i made an error while making them so they come out the back faceing down and out, one is lower than the other too. :reallymad
trex if you weren\'t such a light weigh you could find out why its FAST ROAD spec. i suppose as your old egi isnt up to anything other than driving in a straight line it would be best for you to stay at home next weekend and do some knitting or phone all your freinds up and tell both of them how fast your car used to be. :p
ant, it took age\'s for me to think how i could mount that i,c. you should try it :cool
Did you get the specs for the suspension set up on line, or has it been done by trial an error. I know there are some specs around for the FD but never seen any for the FC.
