Looking forward to the driver training day too, It will be interesting to see the diference in cars, not their power but how well they are set up and of course the driver itself.
If the courses that we do are short and tight then the quick spooling,lighter cars will be more suited. Horses for courses |

At the cost of great expense, trial and troubles. I learnt my lesson in the persuit for power years ago. Its nice to have, but in truth anything with around 210bhp/ton in a well sorted chassis is plenty and more than you can use on UK roads, and even on a track in the right hands will give most things a run for its money. Something with enough power V's bonkers power from my experience is more fun on UK roads as you get to really drive the car rather than point and squirt it.
My personal experience with the idea of lots of power but built for reliability is also flawed. Big power and reliability do not come together IMO. I had a ST205 built by Fensport running 400bhp and the block cracked and killed the engine, and there are plenty of other big build cars out threre that have had fresh rebuilds in relatively short time scales. Even my former STI8 400+ built by engine tuner, gave them concerns when the buyer told them he wanted it as a dedicated hard core track car. But at the end of the day the persuit for power is undeniably a challenge, fun and a hobby, and if its all done with disposable cash that you would sooner not plow into holidays, family time, or other things then fair play and why not. |

[QUOTE=Crowman;60340]Mate, yours was so planted at brands.

The base fuel presure has been turned up so the duty cycle of the injectors can be turned down???? Last edited by Nige; 01-09-2010 at 11:56 AM. |
