Thanks guys! I've got a new SD Card for my go pro so I'll be sure to take lots of video for you, hopefully I can repeat my PB on camera this time! Make sure you subscribe to my youtube channel or this thread to keep up to date.
I'm starting to plan stage 2 now. Planning to kick that off early 2012 before the new season starts assuming finances allow, my housing situation is getting a little rough atm and I might have to rent another house or take a new job closer to my current house which might include a pay cut. le sigh.
I'm thinking I need to save some weight to increase my agility around the Esses and reduce the tank slapperness when I'm drifting.
So new improvements will include
- Carbon doors with plastic windows.
- Carbon Bonnet
- carbon boot
- carbon drift wing
- fibreglass front guards to help accommodate bigger wheels
- 18x10 +22 wheels (maybe, not completely sold on this idea yet. I like my 17s)
- Some ducting to cool my brakes
- Better brake pads, maybe even some GTR Brembos, see how I go, I'm not dissatisfied with my stock Turbo brakes at all so I'm finding it hard to justify an upgrade atm.
- Heated windshield
- Remove heater
- Remove metal from behind rear seat so you can get into the cabin from the boot (are you allowed to do this?) Battery in a new plastic box.
- Bigger sump.
- battery isolate switch
- net thing that goes over the window.
Can anyone think of anything else?
I'm loving the power my car is making at the moment and it's got the perfect bit of lag, it's like traction control hehehe. I can just stomp it just before the apex at the moment and not get any wheel spin and by the time its on song I'm usually pretty straight or I can wrestle it into shape.
The depressing part is that all that shit is going to save a few kilos but I can save more weight by me not being such a porker So I'm going on a diet first and stage 2 weight saving will not commence until I get down to 90 kilos, currently 110. You might see that one in the fitness thread So no more booze on weekdays, no more junk food, no more insanely awesome epicmeal time inspired meals with friends, no more candy bacon, no more binge drinking. Lots more being active and not playing video games. Hopefully the Mrs can help out with being active
Tas Hillclimb series is kicking off next weekend so I'm looking forward to that Looking at the times from last year I think I'll be pretty competitive and hopefully I can get up on the podium. I'll make sure I get videos for you guys.
