Ha Ha
Cheers Rob time I brake less and go faster its my new mission statement!!

The car runs awesome with the new clutch the pick up and rate of revs is even quicker the only issue is the drive is so strong I've had to fit a flow control valve as it would lock the rear wheels up on some downshifts! Which could be entertaining!
I've just come back from Nurburgring and Spa where the car ran superb managed to get a 8 min lap round the Ring so very happy with that!

I've still got the newer set up if you're interested still a lot cheaper than buying from specialist!!

Cheers Guys

Wow now that is impressive I'd like to be in that when its doing those speeds!! I bet its hanging for grip like tyres no tomorrow !
Mind my lap is BTG not a full lap I've only ever done one trackday at the Ring a few years back.

Cheers Simon

Simon, what have you done regarding heat and air, have you removed everything in the front or do you still have à blower for rainy days?

Hi Perrew
I removed all the heating system but then I made a cool air box to feed air to the screen and dash vents, which actually works better than the std ventilation! I've got someone to look at making them out of carbon so I'll keep you posted!

Please keep me posted! Big thumbs up!

The only downside is when you're stood still as soon as you're moving even quite slow the screen will demist. As I don't do much street driving its never been an issue but you could fit an inline fan on one side,drivers?, in order to clear quickly.
I'll take some photos of the aluminium unit I have.

Hi Simon, hope you and the car is doing well!

Im considering ditching the ABS and doing a Pedal box since I have to much front Bias and would like to be able to adjust that, whats your view on the Pedal box, are you still happy with it?
Tks P

Hi guys

Perrew, the pedal box is one of the best upgrades I have done, but as yourself this is relative to the weight of the car a full fat car may be a different storey!!, but the control and modulation of braking is awesome.
I've only got a picture of the air duct out of the car must try and get one insitu!

Default Pedal Box

Thanks Simon, you have me convinced:-) I think we are about similar weights in our cars soon so this should work well.
