I still miss that car

well if that's not a blast from the past

LOL at BB in short skirt

OHH aye it is

If i sum it up all i was doing was asking more and more from the engine to cover up other issues ( which were far cheaper to correct ) in the handling and weight of the car

Kaido, your getting sound advise from these guys! I have some knowledge about this as well as i did build mine to race against some serious factory race cars. And to be perfectly honest we built a great engine with lots of power, and that was my first mistake. From the day we removed the stock engine was the day we started to have issues. Not once did the old stock engine give any problems. Instead of spending 10k+ on that i would have, should have put that into the handling development of the old girl. It was only after i did start to get that part of the package right did the lap time really improve and that was after i had a 430AWHP engine sitting in it. Your order of merrit should be something like this. Weld in cage Weight reduction program (best HP ever) Better brake package Better suspension coil overs, bushes, swaybars and control arms etc Ensure 4wd system and diffs are 100% Oil cooler / radiator ( well i had to at least ) That will give you a good platform to start with, and wont cost you a down payment of a house! I like to look at it this way HP will make you a bit faster, as it will cover any mistakes you make or the lack of handling from your car. Penny dropped for me one day following a clio cup car while running another new engine in. Was only allowed to pull 4000 RPM which put me about the same top speed as the clio. Unlike race days where i would hose them down any straight if i needed too. But following this guy for 20 minutes firmly told me my car was not all it should of been as he handed my arse back to me in the twisty sections. But some investment in good coilovers etc and a alinement spec supplied by Giant made far more improvement in laptimes then when i dropped the 10k engine in.

yep, although i havent seen it in 8 months

Ohh this ia very long and slippery slope my friend, be very careful once you start its hard real hard to stop. I know this cause i just want a good track car as well............just buy mine lol i have other toys to play with

nar Ducan its not to bad we will have over 3.5 hours for the weekend which is more than enough. No FF or mini's etc just the radicals and us as support. And i do believe we will be quicker than the V8! Roy not much into rubbing carbon firbe panels i can tell you...might not happen yet as uber dollar diff wont be here until wednesday. Anyone ever heard of a riccardo GT1 diff?

Ok 1 week to go and they will let us loose on this little beastie http://www.dubaiautodrome.com/uploadedFile...rcuit%20Map.pdf Only 21 turns per lap lol old quiafe gearbox is going to get a working over next weekend
