Was out checking the Squadron stores last night and wondered where those items had gone. Then I saw your Commissioning Note on the Squadron Leader's desk, authorising the upgrades. And very nice they look too!

Look really nice.
How do they compare in price and quality to whiteline.

Granby 04-10-2008 04:37 PM

Re: Latest Round Of Mods For The Stealthy Wagon
 
Quality seems very good and price i think are slightly more expensive but i did get them in a group buy :D

Well I've been driving around for a week or so with this setup now and I'm more than impressed, car feels so planted now and doesn't seem to lean at all in the bends

There is more noise but it's not much, with the engine & gearbox mounts you do some vibration when it's idling and at start up but there seems no play in the gearbox when changing gear and the gears changes are much more positive

Had a little play around Snetterton yesterday on the SIDC parade laps for time attack and it was fun booting it out of corners in 1st gear with all 4 wheels spinning, hitting the rev limiter because i couldn't change gear quick enough :shock: but with the car just feeling stuck to the track

So all in all I'd highly recommend these mods to all wagon squadron members & non members as well :D

Next round of mods planned for the new year, new anchors, K-Sport 8 pot front brakes which i got a very good deal from CDF racing, should be fitted & bedded in ready for the Brands Hatch track day on the 27 Feb :doubleup: , now if i could only get a good deal on the rear brakes as well

Don't know at the moment as i'm still bedding them in, would imagine they'd stop me quite well lol, hope to have the rears done as well sometime soon (same size disc but only a 6 pot caliper 8-) )

Mmmm, methinks someone has run out of other mods; eight pots on the front and six pots on the rear...next off you will be getting new rims :o :lol:

SUBARMAN 20-01-2009 11:28 AM

Re: Latest Round Of Mods For The Stealthy Wagon
 
That's a lot of pots! I would be very worried about anyone braking behind me, especially on track! You know how they try to keep up, and use you as a marker, and leave the braking as late as you might do!

Well i thought i'd give you a update on all the bits that have been fitted lately, did a track day at Brands yesterday and i must say the car felt great and for the first time i had confidence to really push the car into corners, the brakes worked brilliant but i'm gonna change the pads as the standard pads supplied were on the limit on track and although they didn't fade they were smoking a few times..Oops, something else i've fitted is a 4 point harness and would recommend this to anyone wanting to do track days as they really do hold you secure and give you confidence, thats it for now but i'll keep you updated on anything else :wave:
