Received refurbished shocks for my track Westfield from  https://www.thunderlane.eu .

 

I bought the car in 2018, with a few years of history before that, and I think the shocks had never been overhauled. They got new bearings, thinner valves for a lightweight car, new bump stops, etc. They were dyno tested (I don’t understand those diagrams at all 😕, but I was assured they were matched in pairs).

I’m really curious whether I’ll feel the difference. When they were “new” ( I mean after few seasons in Westfield Cup NL , and on some endurance challenges (got few broken wishbones with that car :) ) , even on the softest settings the car was quite darty. Hopefully this effort  and the expense — will be noticeable 🙂

Edit – oh, and I had my springs measured: front (RED) 60 N/mm, rear (BLACK) 40 N/mm. Not sure if this is right or wrong, but at least I now have a baseline if I learn which way to go softer or stiffer at the front or rear in the future.

Just took delivery of the following Pipercross filter to replace the old K&N filters that the car had on it. Managed to find one with the same dimensions as the K&Ns so I don't have to go cutting up the bonnet haha.

Has not taken me long to start changing things up, only picked the car up just before xmas. IMG-20251119-WA0012.jpg.2e8673b156e0638d16157cfd19f2c1b9.jpg
