Quote from: Jamie R on March 15, 2023, 07:59:50 PMSo the elusive corner weight saga.

Now im running 400lbs springs on the front and 275lbs springs on the rear.

Car is loaded up with 120Kgs ballast (dummy driver) and 30 litres fuel.

I set the ride height on all 4 corners and lowered the car onto the scales.

Im happy with the corners distribution, and live with the 21Kg side to side as nothing in the grand scheme.

Now leave it alone!

That actually not bad at all

Cheers Clive, I most certainly will bring it to Combe.

Still need to bleed the clutch some more.

MOT, tracking and insure
But the weather still pants at mo.

Great news, Jamie

Great news, now we just need some nice weather

Jamie R · April 29, 2023, 07:07:45 PM

So been for a pootle this evening ( in the rain too) it won't go rusty lol

Took father in law out. So racked up about 70 miles so far.

Boy is gets warm in that cockpit lol. That roof scoop is a god send.

Brakes stop well, and they're still bedding in ish.

Had a slight coolant leak in the week which resulted in a loss of 3 litres. 2 hot spells up to 110 degrees!!!

I've cured that issue, didn't get above 92 today.

STILL need to get that tracking sorted.

But the worst bit is keeping it under 4k while I'm running the engine in. Yawn

70mph at 4k in 6th makes for comfortable cruising. But I can't wait to get it on the track after I've run that engine in !
