Mark Stanton Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 O.K, O.K. I'll let you into my intended modifications for 2002, seeing as I'm hoping to take part in the "weekends" and get some serious mileage in. I'm gonna get a half decent Multi CD/radio/cassette for the camper. I really can't face all those journeys again, listening to some obscure jazz station or some welsh jabbering on without using any vowels. reading the news about egg chasers. I'll get me coat. Quote
windy Posted March 6, 2002 Author Posted March 6, 2002 Blimey you have been busy! I guess the next time I see Alan Parkinson passing me on the motorway driving to an event he'll be doing 160 mph, not 145 which was previously limited by his dif ratio! Paul - do you mean you will be driving Tom's shiney yellow car? I heard you'd been doing a spot of decorating! Lindsay - you are not telling me much - you are too secretive - they say you have to watch the quiet ones! Adrian - 6 speed dog box? Sequential shift perhaps? Nice!!! Right that's another 2 kilo's of lead going in the sole of my right shoe!! Best regards Windy Quote
Mark Stanton Posted March 6, 2002 Posted March 6, 2002 Do we tell him that sequential boxes are not allowed in his class No, o.k then Quote
I.S.M Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Its better to be secretive rather than hype up the car i mean what if its the drivers that need modifying!! Quote
ACW Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Muffin, I think you may have hit my car's nail on the head .... Quote
ian crocker Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 While I'm not doing the WSCC championship (spread too far over the country) I will be there for a few rounds. What I planned: New Wheels Softer rear springs Refit rear ARB 2 part foam seats Quick rack Improve suspension geometry Some aero mods inspired by secret data on a 7 in a moving floor wind tunnel. What I did: New wheels! And I still haven't fitted the new studs yet so I've only got about 4 turns holding the wheels on! Not bad for 5 months work Ian Quote
Allen Parkinson Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Thank you Adrian at least someone agrees more mph per 1000 rpm can be good. A bit slow Windy, I have also fitted a new R380 gearbox which happens to have a higher 5th. If I ever get to 6000rpm in 5th I should hit 175mph! How about tyres, I have been using BRIDGESTONE SO2s which seem very good the last 2 years. I had a look at the new SO3s which appear to suffer from F1 treatment of wider grooves, less rubber and so less grip!! BTMR still had 6 SO2s so I bought one to go with my unused spare. Should see me OK for this year and next. Oh yes I've signed up my co-driver for anothr year but I,m still number 1. See if there is a mutiny. Let's hear some more news. Quote
I.S.M Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Ok Ok, Pro Gearbox (i.e. one with mega loud bearings!!!! 62 mph first etc, 80mm wider track, new development 4 pot calipers, new eliptically grooved disks (Cat Motorsport), bit of powder coating here and there, full engine re-build, so far......., who knows what could happen before Loton Park!

Mark Stanton Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 You know ... when reading all the above I realise I'm not taking the WSCC Speed Series in any way serious .... and all my race budget car prep work is now happily sitting in some Aussie bank 12,000 mile away Still I got me a 10 disc system ...... and some white bits Quote
