coilovers need 12 fr 16 rr....swap for the YS dynamics?
when clutch goes lsd and 5.4
basically gonna try and emulate the civic cup spec on a budget as they do 1.16 round combe which quite frankly is pretty darn good! I do 1.15 in my 200bhp Rotary powered Westfield on slicks weighing only 560kg so thats the target....and ive spent just under £3k so far so keeping it budget friendly....got super lucky with the car mind.
really want an LSD but in the dry only felt i was loosing out coming out of the essesses at Combe but in the wet loosing out everywhere.
cheap fun is the order of the day, ive been trackdaying for 20 plus years and now at a stage i just wanna have fun. Not about being the fastest but having 200plus miles on track in aday having the crack with mates and falling asleep on the sofa at 8pm.
