I was thinking this. So you just use a nut and bolt then?

 

ye it was a good few years ago i done it, just use a longer bolt and nylock nut with a big washer, youll need 2 people to tighten it though one in the car, then tack weld it all if possible so you done have to mess about with the floor skin again.

i only had this issue on the passenger side, i cut a big flap and pulled it back then welded it again after i was done, arms been off and on couple times since the "repair"

i had to cut the floor to nut and bolt mine as i had one snap, then had to drill it out and the capive nut snapped out of place, right funking pain.

My choice would be Donning, right in the midlands plenty of dates usually to chose from and a great allround track.

ill start posting the dates i book, ive done quite a few this year,

Another trackday in the rain  england sucks this time of year,

first time trying out race render with video data overlay, heres my best lap of the day without being held up. the audio is out of sync on this

got couple other videos to follow:

i heard about the unfortunate events but good to see some other starlets on track,  we need to agree on an event next year and get a big group of starlets

Cheers man. I had 1/4 tank left after it settled I think Time for a swirl pot setup.

Ye so many cars on that session few dangerous drivers too ( the astra was weaving in and out behind me).

 I wanted to break into thr 1.09s before get it mapped properly but still great fun

My 16:40 session from trax at silverstone, i had another session to upload but was wet

too many cars to get a clean lap in but managaed an 1.11.37 on lap 6/7 with traffic and a passenger which it faster than last time i was there with a clean lap and no passenger

awesome photos, how did the merc feel on track?

id be tempted to take my supra for a laugh but though it might be bit big forthe track lol

We had abit of an oil problem (not from the Starlet for a change) so that slowed us abit but couldn’t of been helped really! Only 15 on the one I did. Did you organise yours through chequered flag?

ive got no more holidays to book now mate so can’t do 31st I’m afraid. Be good to get a few more starlets on the sprint days as they abit less intense than a full blown track day and less hard on the car meaning even the less track prepped cars could get involved.

i run a factory LSD but used to run a kaaz on my old GT and they are so much different. Would be up for a day sometime next year for sure though :-) 

I got our places though a friend of a friend, but I'm in woth the group now. I agree would make a great starlet event, ans yiur right about not being too jars on the cars.

Maybe could get somwone to try organise starlet vs mx5 day as there plenty of mx5 guys I know who would come. Did your old kazz diff clunk? I had mine for daily driving but it's soo good on track

Sounds similar. Our day ran really smooth with no delays. Was a great. Only 20 spaces too keep tracktime fair few, people left early too was pretty much non stop racing.

I really can justify 3 track days in october lol. Oh I've got a cusco lsd aswell which makes a huge diffrence. 

Come donington on thr 31st October mate. Be me and my mate in his ep3

Awesome! Have you git any videos?Which layout did you do? Was great doing the figue 8 

 I'd deffo go again. I've got a few sessions  silverstone  then donington open pit at end of october otherwise I come again.

Ad08r D2 coils, rear arb. Polybushes all round antilift kit, front and rear braces.  Front lower brace. Gt4 Twinpot breaks, bluestuff pads. Probly missed few things too

I've got few more vids of diffrent angles I'll put up too

i

Did my first sprint course. Love it. So diffrent to a big known circut. Ended up with the best time of the day too

anyone know the fuel gauge sender ohm range?

im building a customer dash and need to order the correct range gauge.

awesome, that video is trippy :D

would hate to see tgtt gone forever, ukso admin should negotiate  an archive for all the tgtt threads. 

same with photobucket ruining  internet build threads around the world :|  or across the world if your a flat earther LOL

ive got a complete head i no longer need if thanks any good has been skimmed only 0.3tho so nice  flat and clean, could get it done then, its complete with cams ready to bolt in,but it will need new stem seals which i have to go with it... ( i ended up buying a new complete)

Id love to see the before and after graphs of that setup dude! Even at the same boost pressure it would be some difference!

What can the 34 run, 1.4+ kinda area?

 

the vf35s suposibly take 1.6bar ( its journal bearing) no idea what it will peakat power wise but ill find out in jan

i plan to run it at 1.4/1.5 as i need it to be reliable on track,just depends how the inlet temps are

heres the before /currenty setups graph, when the stand alone goes on should be able to iron out the torque curve as it dips in the midrange, loads of improvment to be made over the current setup. butstill feels amazing on the road

heres my other highlight video  pretty long but shows how good you can make a GT handle 

all sorted now cheers all :)
