Loxy's silver FN2 GT - J's Braces

[m1ke]

No mate. I've spent all I can afford and a bit more besides. That's the only limiting factor really.

Turbo?

So, fitted the other two braces today.

Easy job really.

Floor bar:

Rear c-pillar brace:

The offending bolt:

Old one on the bottom, proper one on the top. Happy days!

Liking these braces Loxy, are similar braces available for the ep3?

It's the same kit. The drop on the Eibach springs on a FK2 is 25mm, the Type R FN2 is 10mm lower as standard so the FN2 only gets a 15mm drop from the same kit.

Looks epic.

Cheers bud.

I'll stick some pics up from the trip when I get back as I've only brought my phone away with me.

Hows it feel around the ring and spa John?

I so hope this trip happens next year

The Ring is weird to be honest. Bumps, camber and hills and dips like you wouldn't believe. You really don't get an appreciation for it until you go round it. The car was brilliant round it. Loads of grip, stable at speed and changing direction plus the brakes were just sublime.

Spa is an awesome track. Fast and flowing, a few off camber bends, double apex corners, huge straights and Eau Rouge.

There is a long flat left hander in the last part of the track, the second double apex left, that the car felt a bit unsettled over 115 over the bump on turn in into the first half of the corner, but apart from that the car loved it. Had the brakes smoking when I came in once.

I've had an amazing time. I'd recommend this trip to anyone who likes their cars.

That shot of your car on the carousel at the Ring = amazing. I'd be getting that one purchased if I were you.

 

[Ed]

Could you feel the benefit of the braces ?

agree with that. looks hench. DENCH even.

 

[Nidge]

Nice car Loxy, they look so cooooooooool

 

[trickyteg]

Really want to do this trip next year sounds like you had an amazing time

 

[Loxy]

So the pic in question.

Not sure about the braces Ed because I didn't try a lap with and without. It was definitely very planted, especially at Spa. Turn in is exactly as I want it now, it's especially good turning in trailing the brakes to get the back end lively.

Yes the trip was epic.

 

[Danger200]

That shot is awesome!

 

[Dunes]

Christ imagine if it was lowered by 30mm! Thinking I'm changing my mind and getting the 15mm drop haha

 

[Staffs Deltic]

That is one superb pic John. Jealous as hell matey.

I was thinking that when I saw it earlier, that wheel is proper up in that arch :lol:

Tis a great shot though, certainly would be purchasing that if it were me.
