Chris_14a Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 wheels look good. nice to be a bit different. how do you find the ad08 to the r888?They actually suit the car now there on and I know there isnt another set . The ad08s are good they dont grip quite aswell but they dont make as much noise as r888s on the road and come with 7mm of tread instead of around 4mm so will last alot longer. I would recommend them im taking my car to the nurburgring on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_14a Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Picture from when it was at Td the other day:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Car has been up at td today and had a few bits done ready for the nurburgring next week Its had new rear wheel bearings and a oil change with check over. More interestingly its had a ultra racing rear under brace also had a rear torsion bar for the boot floor which are only for the ep82 but have managed to get one to fit on and looks good I also decided that I would have a oil catch can fitted as the car is used alot on track the last thing I want is for it to breath oil so spoke to mike and nick and they had a trd one from a breaker that I haven seen before so had thag fitted at the same time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That rear under brace is sweet anymore pics of that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Which one mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Both would be sweet mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 This is the lower middle one near the fuel tankThis is the rear torsion bar. Only other 2 pics I have of them Td have them all in stock mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Do let us know if those bars make any difference, hardly anyone has them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I havent driven it properly yet but they all seem to have made a difference so far as got most of the parts available. The main problem with these starlets is they arent built to be strong like bigger cars as they dont even have proper subframes so these bars seem to make a big difference.

Phil.They just bolt straight on tbh the one under the boot is only for a ep82 but had to just slightly adapt things and it fitted perfectly looking good pal Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 So I have been away in the car for 10 day anybody guess where I have been ha The car performed very well and also got to drive it alot more and I am now alot more comfortable with the way the car handles.Have alot planned for the car over the next few months Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Awesome Wat lap time you get round there Chris? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Managed to get it around in around a 9.20ish with roadworks beleave it or not ha. With a clear run and a few more laps experience I dont doubt the car would easily do sub 9 mins.Also car was running .9 on td04 and my road tyres will take my 888s next year to see how it gets on.

Bluebear Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thought you were on a bigger set of wheels there than 15", those tyres have really compressed under cornering on the Carousel!! Skits aren't too far off scraping either haha. Looks liek good fun and the car is looking fantastic now, fair play Chris! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_14a Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Cheers I did let them down slightly as went off abit on the first lap.It is a great corner but it is very hard on the car fun tho ha.It is having a rest and some changes for next year.Thats really respectable, good goingcheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
