Amjad Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 What a shame that we couldn't stay out there longer, would have been good to see if my low power GT could stick to you guys in the bends. Saying that though the track definitely didn't feel as good to drive as Donington Also where did you find the first two track pics? Wanna see if anyone else got mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But 2nd and 3rd are pretty much un-useable unless your going in a straight line....not sure I might just be overthinking it. Gonna get some new tyres then see how I feel That's alright mate, I know what it can be like haha. Oh really Those mobile dyno's do make me chuckle.Hahaha, they didn't even attempt to strap it down properly I was pretty scared at first :/thanks for the hold up on track to be honest wasnt just you - few other mishaps!

maddox710 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Stop being a pussy. Have you got an alk on? And what the tracking like dude? I was shocked how mine felt once it was tracked up properly. Even with r888s in the front it used to spin them up in 2nd even with the measly power output I have haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was shocked how mine felt once it was tracked up properly. Even with r888s in the front it used to spin them up in 2nd even with the measly power output I have hahaNo not yet, will one help that much? Front hardly lifts at all at the minute mate. And the tracking as far as I'm aware is 1.8 degrees negative camber, 0.4mm toe in and caster is all the same? Something needs doing, also clutch was dragging pretty bad in 2nd / 3rd last night, going to give the clutch a good bleed tonight, if that fails I think I may already have a box slowly dying Why didn't I stay td04....

maddox710 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Haha. Well might be worth just spend that extra bit of money. All the little things make a big difference. Even just gettin the tracking checked. I haven't done my alk yet even though it's been in my cupboard for 3 years but I went in my mates leon after his was done and surprised from the grip it gave coming out of low speed corner and nailing it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I bled the clutch again tonight, got some air out, feels a hell of a lot better, can quick shift all the gears fine etc....,but when trying to select into second when moving (say anything over 40mph) it feels like the box is delaying the change? Almost like when you try to go into first whilst moving quick. The box won't allow me into second quickly unless I blip the throttle or wait for a second or two? Any ideas?

Amjad Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 ALK is decent but you'd benefit more from sticky tyres I think. The difference is night and day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 May be the clutch still. I had similar symptoms when an exedy clutch I had cracked the centre plate and the springs started popping out. What clutch is it you have now ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 i had a simaliar problem with my spec 6 clutch and the release bearing shit itself not long after. id its a spec 6 one id just do yourself a favour and throw it in the bin. with regards to tyres and such like id pick a decent set of tyres and find a place that specalised in set ups. i had a nightmare with my car wouldnt handle worth a fuck couldnt even do a striaght line with out snaking everywhere at 300bhp despite having every handling mod i see a benefit to. found a place that used to build full track and rally cars and had them do a custom set up and its night and day honestly never drove a starlet that handled that well and the guy gave me a list of sujestions of stuff he thinks would make it even better. wouldnt waste my time for normal garages or places that do generic fast road set ups. i spent about an hour chatting with the guy he was asking about my driving style, roads i drive and every mod on the car along with how extreme i was prepared togo before he even looked at the car. same idea with mapping really its worth finding someone who truely understands every aspect of how to make a car handle superbly.

Bussey Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Cheers lads, yup it's a spec 6. Was told there were more hassle than there worth, nightmare. Bled the clutch through a lot and it's defiantly got a lot better, going to grease up my linkage today and see how it feels then.And yeah I need to get the setup done properly, there's a guy a few use round here's who charges 200 quid, but like you said people have said it's a night and day diffrence.Cheers lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tango123 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 great build!! get a video up of her.. you know you want to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Few little things I got done after work today,Lowered the rear, can't really see from these photos which is a bit of a wind up. But sits a lot lower. Preload I didn't touch.Also as a few of you know my waste gate decided it didn't want to be part of the manifold anymore, after welding it back on I took that shocking eBay heat wrap off, looked terrible and went brittle, not nice stuff. So now she's nice and bare again apart from a bit of titanium heat wrap around the collector as there are a few water lines very close. Gave the runners some love with a Brillo and wa-la.Also a quick clean with some with some meguiars gold compound shampoo, never clean the car properly but this stuff made a huge difference. Didn't get any more pictures after as the phone died.That's all for the minute, going on holiday next week, after that I'll be purchasing some new enkei wheels with some savage tyres great build!! get a video up of her.. you know you want to Cheers mate, will grab some soon!

Bussey Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 New tyres went and happened.Someone local was selling some near on new (5 laps of a wet drift track near me) NS2-R XL soft compounds. For the price of 140 quid I had to snap them up.First thoughts after having them fitted was 'meh there not that good'Second thought after getting heat into them......'what the fu*k this car can corner this quickly' Awesome tyres, really have changed the whole feel of the car. By far the most enjoyable mod I've done in a while.Would defiantly recommend them. Noticed the change in the way the car handles a lot more than my BC's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
