That is one sexy racecar

Cars looking sharp 👍
Be careful at the weekend the temperatures meant to be dropping, did you get round to fitting the traction control?

Also what do you mean by Dyno the dampers?

Traction all fitted and tested on the road Adam, works really well tbh. Keen to try it on track now. The dampers go on a test rig to ensure they are all performing equally and adjustments all do as they should. If any are found to be out I’ll send them away to be serviced

Ok cool, glad the traction is working, I'm making a start today on fitting it.

I've also got a 1" ARB that I'm fitting and may concider getting my dampers refreshed or new Nitrons ig I feel flush.

By the way I've booked Oulton with MSV on 26th March off you have time for it?

I have a vid in the track day section of when I was there before Christmas in the wet on semi slicks..... it was a proper handful at 250 bhp. At your level of power it must be mental fingers crossed you get out.

Cold damp and icy in the morning but it dried out although we never got more than two laps in at once due to red flags literally all day!!! Day started late due to ice and ended early due to sunset lol.

Didn’t really gain much knowledge in terms of car setup tbh due to never getting any heat in the tyres. As for noise the car did 95db static at 5000

[swast4]

At least the cars in 1 piece and it passed the noise test

3rd picture is the best

With the best driver too

I've decided with a there being a few months left before the good weather arrives I've got time to hopefully get the 2.5 built and in. I've started removing the current engine and more parts have started arriving for the 2.5. 

 

 

Matt Bentley sump baffle, nice and simple but hopefully a very effective solution to having piece of mind when it comes to oil surge. There are Viton anti surge flaps to be fitted in the three gated areas which are yet to arrive but picture below for reference...

 

 

Heat shield/tool shelf at the back is really handy lol...
