Time flies by... nearly a year since I updated this thread already. Priorities have changed, renovating a house and having a little'un means the scoob has spent a lot of time tucked up in the garage doing not a lot.
Still, some changes since last year
SMD fitted a Lateral baffled sump last Autumn, and began the job of getting the gearbox refurbed. Unfortunately, it turned into quite a saga and eventually we ended up identifying that a faulty Exedy clutch was the problem. Some of you know the details, but its a long story that would take far too long to type here (plus i've tried to forgot most of it deliberately!) It took many weeks to resolve with gearbox swaps and flywheel changes etc. SMD were top drawer thoughout though, especially as all problems ended up being cause by a faulty part that i'd supplied myself.
Anyway, since then..... bought a set of freshly refurbed PFF7s from Joel and fitted my current Vredesteins to them... new road/winter wheels.
These turned up for the Ultralites... Nangkang NS-2Rs in 120 soft compound.
The current suspension has also been replaced with a set of Tein SuperStreet coilovers. Its really sharpened up the handling and there's much less roll/pitch compared to the Prodrive springs I was running before.
This is how the car looked at Supercar Siege this year:
I've added carbon-effect wing markers instead of the painted blue originals, as they were going spare on Si's red wagon. The gunmetal wheels are back on now and will stay there until winter starts to come I expect. Other than that, most things are the same.
