Was thinking that the ride height is nice and low...i know i run mine higher and it looks gay for it. I am not fast so have to remember to look and sound it :D

I have another date with a Caterham, this time an R300 race car. I wonder if the magic has worn off or after driving it i am still going to be hungry for one?

It's not high at all...... it's loaded up in this picture, I'll grab a centre of wheel to gaurd height when I get home if you like fellas?

yeah it looks loaded, i think roy was saying his is high. If u could measure it up when you get time that would be great, clearly whatever you are doing is working :D

How the fark to I multi-quote?

I have played around with rear ride height in an attempt to balance the over/under-steer, and it has a fairly good balance now. Keep in mind that mine is still on standard bars etc, so if you have all that shit upgraded it's likely to be a different kettle of fish.

It'll be flat I reckon, wish I was in your position and booked in to find out mate! :)

Just need to get a POV 1.5 and will see if i can man up. It pains me that i didnt do Eau Rouge flat (though i did it with a lift on turn in)....going to take my skirt off and wear my wife beater this time. Flat or good footage of the OFF!

..AND Ben, i have four Whiteline sway bars you can pick up when you are in Melb. All adjustable, and different diams. Hell try them at PI if you like, or take them home and play with them. I have some new ARC ones so dont think i will be needing them. lol unless the ARC ones are a disaster

Now THAT is what I like to hear........ and if it spins, do not lift, it has to go "in" on the limiter.

TD06-25G in a twin charge setup with a Rotrex supercharger. Should be an interesting setup

Not really, have the 25G there for shits and giggles, if somehow some of the other mods help response (new manifold, inlet etc) But i also have the current TD06-20G, and a TD06L2-20G which i am getting rebuilt with a water cooled ball bearing centre)

Yeah, T67 goodness :D

I've been doing a lot of reading on them and have seen a number of graphs on SR20's and they look like they could work really well, and I've always had a thing for Trust turbo's...

With my 272/11.5mm cams and extra capacity I think it'll suit the T67 better than the TD06 (except the 25G), in either 8cm or 10cm form (8cm would be wiser). The hit come 4500rpm would be monstrous me thinks :)

We all know that an rb30 conversion is where it's at! :)

Slap on a 550hp Garrett and you have 320+rwkw with better response than a std/factory rb25 setup ;)

I am tempted to take mine to the next Winton track day, whenever that is, have been giving some serious consideration :D

Below is an older power curve. My car now makes 330.6rwkw with even better response and more torque; as we have since adjusted the cam gears and done a retune

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
