Im just sat here wondering where this hobby stops being a hobby, and becomes an obsession lol
Lowering the engine? I know I was gutted when they stopped the Supertourers, but I didnt think we were going to actually re-create them!
Fuly carbon interiors and engines straddling the firewalls FTW! lol lol lol
'ace-media' that's AL iirc...
i just think it would be less work than having to replace wings, alter struts, change sprinsg and steering geometry etc etcQuote:

I'm with Lee on this one, mine is a healthy obsession too lol
I just like to tinker, and tell people about it - whether or not it makes a difference or not, its all research and development... tis what track cars are all about, having fun, changing bits and bobs - looking for improvements here there and everywhere :thumb:
Lee - it was a lot of hassle I suppose, but along with the lowering the COG, it was a personal gripe of mine with how much it was flying high in the sky, i love the low stance of a car, and with uprating the spring poundage anyway, should significantly help reduce the last bit of excess body roll I have...
Cadwell will be a tester for me, but it's at Donington where I aim to run the slicks and go for my PB lap, should the conditions, and number of cars on the track allow... it's open pit, so I will be able to pick and chose my times to go out and play :)
Lee - was going to PM you, but thought it'd be a good read for others aswell.
In regards to lowering the engine in the bay, how much would be deemed as "worth doing" if you get me, I mean, should it get lowered by 15mm, would that not be worth the effort... and at what point (do you feel) it becomes worth it? or is it a case of, anything is better than currently...
I read on a few pages back Rob (Span) mentioning it, and that got me thinking, he mentioned the gear linkages being an ar.se to sort out, but then I thought if I was to get a Quaife shifter and go direct to turret like yourself, the gear linkage problem would no longer be a problem?
Just thought I'd ask your opinion on the drop... :)
if you were to lower the engine you could always copy my manifold to help with the problem?
Is yours the 'up and over the gearbox' jobbie?
That'd help me significantly reduce the bayboy, wouldn't it lol
4inches anyone lol
yea it is, and you still have loads of room behind the engine, and because it came of a btcc car its perfect flow
Pics of your badboy ? lol
I shouldn't go down this route, it sounds expensive dagnabbit, you guys are fecking bad influences! :mad:
