Noobrider will become famous soon enough
really interesting read and I will be following this. We're currently building our 2nd track car and have picked a 180. It is the 1st 180 we have worked on so your thread is a bit like a shopping list for us and we can see what bits work and how well. This will certainly save us a lot of time and money.

Our build thread is here http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=22733

One thing we did invest in was a very cheap video camera for in car videos...get one for your next track day....would love to see some in car action of yours

Hi everyone

The cars currently off the road due to being upgraded! And some very exciting new mods are on there way!





First up!

I have a TTV lightweight flywheel (from EKSpower xpowerforum)

Stage 2 clutch rated to 320lb/ft AP racing from GB-ENT - the same place as my brakes!

A Gripper LSD!

Steel caged bearings with a gearbox rebuild and Millers 'nano gear oil'

I will post up some more pics when I have them! Cant wait lol!





The old clutch was pretty past it!



This probably explains why the car felt faster in 4th than it did 3rd!

The flywheel is also showing signs of being worn



A nice collection of bits! lol



The cars starting its next phase of the project!

Thanks for reading

Ollie

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reminder regarding the flywheel! Luckily the belts were replaced in the last 12 months so got a while yet!

I was advised on the Gripper over the quaife because it is a stronger LSD, it is more progressive in action over the Quaife, and has the option of differant setups.

Unlike the Quaife, if one of the driven wheels was to lose contact with the road it will still send power to the tyre with most grip unlike the quaife which will resort to being effectiviely an 'open' diff and wheelspin.

Regards

Ollie

Quaife are actually a little cheaper than Gripper so it will be interesting to hear how well it works.
