Are you running LPG?

Maxxed_Ross · 31-12-12, 11:50 AM

just noticed that too... if you are you won't be allowed out on the track

and if you are stripping it out I might be able to find a home for some of it.

(I have a pair of un-molested inlet pipes that you could swap

)

thanks for all the great info. the cage is one ive built myself didnt want to blow all my budget on the cage. the car is just for fun on track days and when its vinyled up to promote my helmet painting business. the race commitments are for my son who races in karts.which im trying to ease up on as its so expensive.
the lpg is coming out of the ,its on my to do list and it will be looking for a new home as will all the interior etc, getting fed up with tripping over it now!
will take a few more photos over next couple of days.
thanks

I'll sed u pics of mine. Camber wise you'll be looking for at least. 2-3 degrees on the rear and at least 4 on the front, most standard adjusters only do to about 3.5 on the front. Spring rates could do with a bit heavier 1000 front 800-900 rear. Don't try equal or more on the back as it will handle bad. Ride height don't lower so the rear arm is anything over than horizontal (or driveshafts theres debate on whixh to use as a bench mark) try and stiffen up the front more as no one does this and it needs it. Get your battery moved to the rear. What you racing in? As you can fit 9 ich btcc wheels easy (not allowed in most racing for the zs) but great for track. With the bolt in cage and everything removed ( soundproofing on the floor weighs nearly 15 kilos on a saloon) you'll be down to 1030 kgs ish. Looking good let us know when you're done an ready for the track!

could you post or pm me those photos of your cage so i can modify my cage.
thanks

where abouts in Yorkshire are you? We are also building a track car and have full garage facilities, we may be able to pool resources and ideas.

First dibs on the LPG gear if the price is right.
