RobSR Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 This should be interesting, I loved your old MK1!Even I'm looking forward to it! The others shamed alot of stuff on track with a pretty basic circuit setup so this should be a league above that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Green Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 You didn't hang about! I've a feeling this is going to be a rapid build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 holy crap thats some quick progress!!!! fantastic work gents!!! looks like you're really going to sink your teeth into this project, so really looking forward to seeing how you get on! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Quality and what set up do you plan on running?? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Cheers guys. Setup wise. It'll be a forged 4e..Turbo undecided, as there's a few options we are weighing up. That'll be coming last tho. Cage, suspension and the handling side of things are coming first as that's the priority. Got to try and do something about the rear beam too as that's a major flaw in the whole car.

Amjad Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Definitely keeping my eye on the handling front especially, I find my GT to handle well but always looking to improve! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yea they handle alright with a RARB etc but there is definitely room for improvement Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Nice work guys. Good to see you 2 back in the game. How much camber would you look at running on the rear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Well if we keep the beam we can't really adjust the camber. I think we'll stick with the beam as there's a few little tricks to try, see what it's like and then go from there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
