Been a while since last update, car is mainly kept off road now as have an XC60 T6 now to do the daily grunt work as needed a bigger car. XC60 T6 has been brilliant so far, had it over half a year...
So having a look at coilovers, think im going to go for the BC Coilovers.
Still not sure about which one, good to know if anyone has any experience in these?
I think im swayed towards the BC RM...
haha brilliant, very brave ... personally terrified of that blind corner :biggrin:
Wow thats pretty dam good! I will be ordering a fresh set soon.
ooooo nice yeh, its a fun hill climb ... leaning more to the scary part towards the end there where the fence disappears and the hill just drops away, so if you come off, you are in trouble. Should...
Yeh nice one! yup very impressed with the XC60 so far!
Car is still here but just sitting around for a couple of months so far and hopefully get it ready to go back out again for more tracks this year.
Just recently signed onto the Grand Torque event...
ah right that make sense. Defenitly need to swap out my current coilovers as the only have a height adjustable setting and thats it (Bilstein B14s)
what solid mountings would you use? Im actually...
Ive had my car fully polybushed, is that the same thing? it has stiffened up the car a lot which was much nicer for track.
Yes I already have some B14 Bilstein coilovers on but they do not...
Thanks! yes actually I had no idea what fully corner weighting is? I will have a dig around but if you have any sites or somewhere that would point me in the right direction, that would be brilliant.
Took the car over the nurburgring over the weekend to do some time on the track and also to watch the racing over the weekend.
Went up on the Thursday and sadly it was raining but still decided to...
Car's now back on the road with some new private plates which is good, nice to take it out for a spin after a while as well.
After doing some check's it coughed a bit, but after warming up ticked...
Lovely update! Car looks very well!
yeh that sounds very frustrating. I hope she managed to solve all the issues quickly.
Funily enough 2 or 3 days after I SORN the car I have not received a single letter now so I think this has...
Bit of an odd update on the car.
Decided to go for the same semi slicks again as there was still a deal on their website, so got 4 semi slicks for about £280 delivered. I went for the Accelera 651...
Thanks JT, sadly right behind that bumper is a massive crashbar which occupies all the space. Below it is the intercooler and if I put the oil cooler infront of that, it will take up 50% of the...
Starting to have a look at getting the car cooled before the next trackday, im certain I will have to go water meth route as I cannot replace my Bell intercooler with anything bigger without having...
Yeh I had my T5 initially mapped by Shem and I have to say it was an absolutly appauling job and it took him 6 months to still leave my car incomplete. I have always had issues finding tuners for my...
You need to get the codes read at a dealer which is easy to do or plug it into vida. I found the general ODB readers were not great on mine.
Car is still sitting around after the last trackday back on winter tires till I know what wheel and tire setup I would like.
Took it for a little shake down as I dont like it sitting for too...
The engine conversion will be a very tough and expensive task that it would be cheaper to buy a T5 instead of swapping over the engine unit. The AWD conversion is a relatively straight forward task...
Thank you.
The Volvo does sound nice, but inside the car there is an awful amount of drone. The A45 is completly standard as well, so was suprised that it was that good. But both the Volvo and...
Right so another Goodwood track day done!
Car did incredibly well, defenitly shocked a fair few people on the day and the new semi slicks were defenitly a great tire. The question is, would I get...
There are couple of track days added to the calendar at Goodwood for this month and may, if you are looking.
Would be cool to see these flying around the goodwood track, im just down the road from...
yes well I will update after a thorough test, have a trackday booked at Goodwood next week so am excited to see how these hold.
But as a first off, acceleration from a roundabout is completly...
