keep us posted bud

Left hooker though, or am I imagining that? Edit: Nope definately not imagining that :biggrin:

How did you get on with this mate?

or give Saj at Jap Performance Parts a ring and see what GTR/Evo Brembo's he has sat on the shelf http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.japperformanceparts.co.uk%2F&ei=y3HdULHOM6HL0QXCp4CIAQ&usg=AFQjCNF82iC26CqrT1jS4RmSMRcGgwodYA&sig2=sAhec2COrCUYAcfcSw1OWg&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.d2k

Lucky fooker'

I think I might give myself the day off...

I've never tried boost jets to be able to compare with EBC, but can confirm..... that Asparagus tips are shit!

She'll be presenting for the BBC won't she, is she taller than the Sky F1 Channel's elf?

I read an interesting introduction to one of David Hornsey's books on race and trackday driving techniques, it went something like "We'll start with this little known piece of advice: it doesn't matter how good you are, whether you are the next Ayrton Senna or about to embark on your first ever driving lesson....the car is always better than the driver. If the driver were better than the car then each lap would have an identical lap time." I'm not entirely sold on this par se (back to variables again) but I can see where humility would play a part in this, because ultimately the driver is continuously learning and adapting to these variables.

I started to type and then got bored and deleted it all so some food for thought: Centre of gravity, corner balance, longitudinal and lateral load transfer, brake bias, roll centers and spring weight versus wheel rate etc etc there are a plethora of technical books out there on the subject and it's just a case of applying what's relevent

In that respect (ie. you want the comfort but less slack) just replace the old worn z32 OEM suspension with brand new z32 OEM suspension

Replacing all of the old and worn bushes helps transform the handling and of course sorting the wallowy old suspension makes a huge difference Of course the right choice of tyres and pressures for the conditions is in my opinion the most important

Which version mate, there were quite a few? http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&ved=0CD4QFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apexi-usa.com%2Fmanuals%2Felectronics%2Fsafc2_manual.pdf&ei=xJ_TUJvINYGH0AWf-oDoBg&usg=AFQjCNFxW9NhPMlMN9J_n4z7zt1Fofz87w&sig2=eqBCtiC76M7ZaZUW6cpULA http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=7&cad=rja&ved=0CE8QFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apexi-usa.com%2Fmanuals%2Felectronics%2Fsafc_manual.pdf&ei=fZ_TUM30OYbS0QW594HYCw&usg=AFQjCNFU9ZJg9SoprdBVdMI9SW1HAeI14Q&sig2=-0W5B50T3oO-yc1xlgfC8w&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.d2k http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&ved=0CF0QFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alamomotorsports.com%2Fapexi%2Felectronics_safc_wire.pdf&ei=xJ_TUJvINYGH0AWf-oDoBg&usg=AFQjCNErafltGtMAzr6h0xi04RYt7DKapw&sig2=ONIOm31sdElxjI8dhmhlig there is a really old one

What's the overall aim of this engine build Mark, are you looking to crack the 1/4 mile sub 11 seconds?

Will be an interesting build to watch

I agree mate, but could be due to its sister mags Total Impreza and Total Evo :tt2:

To be fair it had started to go down hill a bit

I'll get a video clip up in the morning to show what I mean. I've got a small amount of clearance from the top of my lid to the roof lining so I'm not overly concerned, I can just see that with the front part of th ecage in there it'll be very tight

I've never really thought about it before but the SWB driver position seems a lot tighter than my LWB ever was. I'm thinking maybe that the lack of rear footwell may play a part here. Even with stock seats removed and smaller Sparco's fitted in their place it just feels more cramped Has anybody else noticed this?

It is a kind of 'leepu' creation, fantastic amount of skill but zero % design ability

Typically the workmanship looks pretty good to be fair, but so very wrong on several levels!! If it could talk it would be screaming....

Has someone bent it on purpose so that they can practice heel and toe whilst driving?

Depending on budget, I've used a variety ranging from Race Technology kit and Go Pro to much cheaper alternatives. I do rate the Go Pro quite highly and have used them for all sorts from recording the family opening their presents at Christmas to freefall from 25 grand, they are more expensive than most but very well made and reliable If you don't want to spend a lot but want something that's still pretty decent and comparable for track days then take a look at the 'Eagle Eye' stuff, from my experience they are also very good for the money (don't pay too much attention to some reviews as they are mostly from competitors). The video quality is good and they are simple to use Steer clear of the cheap £20-£40 ebay stuff though, I have several types that I've played around with and some really are cheap tat. In a nutshell Go Pro if you want to spend a fair amount, and Eagle Eye if you want decent fmv at a much cheaper price (if you can try to get one of the earlier orange versions, that's the one that I tested last year) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1080P-HD-Eagle-Eye-Ocean-15M-Waterproof-Camera-Camcorder-/271052025758?pt=Camcorders_Professional_Video_Cameras&hash=item3f1bf5af9e

For a second there I thought Top Gear had got hold of one again, to go head to head with an Apache gunship...
