So what the deal on dates here???

I better not miss this one

Mmm. Looks familiar barry.

the second/spare engine from a well known red Alfa 75 racecar here in the UK wink:

Mmmm. that looks very familiar Kevin

Have you road tested it yet?

Sorry Jim, you don't know how to drive. You should be able to gain 1 sec with solid 250mm front rotors and stock pads. :lol: Serioulsy, you nailed it Jim. My car is slightly lighter than yours and on SOME turns after a couple of laps, you just wonder what happened to the brakes. My current setup is...

at one stage i was motivated and had a few plug in looms to suit the gtv6, but ye. it all depends where you are and what is available to you, in Australia we have just about everything aftermarket. Its said Australia leads the world in this area. a full plug in kit, custom made involves allot of wo...

the main computers we use come in 2 models both running the same hardware, one is basic one is advanced. the point is the basic one does just about everything the advanced one does but it is a unit best used to "piggyback" on a factory computer, by doing this you tap into the stock system...

Good! This is turning out like most opinion sessions, everybody confusing everybody else!! :? I will add to it: like Zamani, I'm out for track-day tires (DOT) and for 15 and 16" both. I have a choice of A048,AO32,Toyo888,BS540S. I presently run BS540S which are good but not as good as the A038...

I´m going for a set of Continental Sport contact. Not the best choice but it´s what I have laying around in my garage :lol: I also have some 195/50 Yokohama A520 but I think 195 will look too skinny on the big-ass 75 :wink: Errr. are they ROAD tyres??? Hardly track or race......... try some proper ...

OH NO U DIDN'T !! :evil: i know you have good intentions z, but suggesting the "modification" of this site is suggesting its death !!! making "mods" out of people is a great way to kill a site, creating classes of people. My probelms with the suggestion: 1) This forum isn't that...

Andrew, you're a bit wrong about Ron winning from the IMSA's. I like Ron a lot and admire his driving skills, but as I recollect, since the TRUE Imsa from Bob vd Sluis entered the dutch trofeo he has won because Bobs car let him down or in the rain. Yeah, but winning is winning:) :wink: But when tw...

In the past I 've estimated/calculated the springrate of the torsion bar at the position of the coilover and it was ~30 N/mm when I remember correctly. On the TS I run 104 N/mm (600 lbf/in) coil-over spring and the origional torsion bars. And a huge 32mm hollow anti roll bar. I like the balance the...

The shock length and valving has to be the same whatever the springs are made of. It only cares of the total travel and overall stifnness. Torsion bars, coils or a combination doesn't matter. Micke, I was refering to the shock length and valving because the RS kits are valved for 125kg springs, plu...

Hi Jes Whoa......! Why re-invent the wheel??? Ron Simons uses this exact kit with adjustable dampers/heavier springs, on his Gp.1 3.5 GTV6, AND WINS against the IMSA 75's Shock mounts are not designed for this as Mats correcty pointed out. The piston rod travel in the damper is too short to go coilo...

Yeah good point MD, but this thread was started before the track and race car heading.....?? how can we move the whole thing so as not to disjoint the thread??

Michael??

Anyone??

Confused in a comical way Jim :lol: :lol: "Basically build a hot N/A engine and add a turbo. " was Mats idea from an earlier post :wink: Most of the tracks in S.A that I plan to drive it at would suit a turbo - i'll be up against some 3.7v6 gtv6, 3.7 156's and V8 fords, and porsche 911, so...
