jaycos Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 obviously looking to do some track work. what other plans for it, engine suspension brakes etc.love the door trims.. ive just purchased a link g4 and a gt3071r my spare engine i have tomi pon b cams, suspension at the moment its cusco coil overs but for track there very under damped so i use a company called gaz do they are building me at set of coilovers that be weighted to the car and sprung correctly ! the car is built to fia standards which is basicly the British clubman race regulations but at the moment its just track use . I do all my own carbon work i have just made a bonnet to no pics as yet tho but i can do carbon infusion and wet lay so i have some fun with that i feel a bit of a coward though as ive dropped the compression to 8.5.1 i here you boys run high with big horse power . Australia are alot more forward than us in tuning thats one of the reasons i went for the link and ditched the power fc plus i like mapping pressure verse rpm rather than maf verse rpm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/322253-my-skyline-from-the-uk/#findComment-5256971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
