Just get the ohlins ttx 4-way for your folly

That can be mapped out. It's rubbish as stock. Stalled mine several times

Have to say the stock throttle setup is shite. It's like the ecu tries to give you 90% torque in the first 20% of movement of the pedal. It was especially bad on track. Gives the car a sensation of initial surge then flat then just carries on increasing rpm. Almost like a spike of boost that immediately dies off. As soon as I changed the ecu I mapped this out and its now linear and sooooo much better for it. As for the rest of the car. The panels are like papier-mâché. Mine have picked up dents. The paintwork has blistered along the front near the Toyota badge despite only doing 3000 miles. The dash buzzes and vibrates. Engine had a load of casting grit in it from new. Tyres are crap, brakes too on track. Other than that, it's great fun.

I've a friend of a friend who spent £250,000 on some jewelry for a girl he met in a night club. He didn't blink at that and the money is effectively thrown away. I see some girls spend £4000 on fake tits and they are ugly - again a total waste of money. I've another customer who spent £125,000 on a non-running ex-motogp bike just to hang it on his living room wall. People can do what they like with their money. Knowing how many of these guys think, at least half the enjoyment comes from actually building the car. Better to have a year or more of fun creating something that some of the previous examples i've given ;)

Give it time lad it's early in the evening yet

I think there is a lot of weight to be removed ......... from the local pubs Judging by the empty glasses last night i think we need a carbon diet

I've been running mine to 7800rpm for the last 1500 miles. I did uprate the valve springs though when I blueprinted the engine but pistons and rods are stock and it's just fine at that.

643mm front and 646mm rear

Yes with a castor/camber gauge. Two man job, I wish I had a proper machine I actually can't find the stock ride height measurements. If you measure yours from the ground to peak of each wheel arch i'll do the same here in a minute when i get it off the ramp.

I measured my castor last night at this ride height and with the top mount moved back by 4mm it was 6.4 degrees. That was with 2 degrees negative camber

He has short arms like a t-rex and struggles to turn into corners

Special K. Fat women eat that to increase their bowel movements. Haha sorry only jesting

I watched world time attack this morning. Most of the cars were running dry sump. Nobody looked like they had been deep fried, not even the V-Sport GT86 that was running the same sump Nigel and I have bought. The stock sump and oil supply aren't sufficient for my needs nor those of Nigel so we had no choice but to buy a proven system. I'm more worried about 12 bar of oil pressure than it leaking

The AST is great track stuff and the local dealer is 10 miles up the road from Nigel. Had quite a few customers winning races on these in the past. AST owns Moton and only reason i went for the Moton is the bigger piston diameter and hence greater range of adjustment. So i can use it on road or track and not be too harsh for road on those days.

DFV is a great choice as long as you aren't after making it into a proper full-on race shock later on. As it can't be made that. It's a great road and track shock and not loads of confusing adjustment so a very good choice. But we are talking small amounts between best and not so good. When 0.2 seconds gives you 8 places up the grid it's important. Enthusiast not so much
