Swiss Trackday Nova

Hi, Extremeoc

What Wear Ratio they have on them ? I am looking for something bigger than 151 but I am struggling to find those .. I had a nice set of Yokohama 205/50 R13 with 180 Tread wear but they do not produce them anymore , any ideas what I can find with Tread wear bigger than 151 ?

Good luck with the car , I simply love it as I pictured mine very similar like yours.

Also are you using Corsa A or Corsa B front lower arms ( if you remember we talked about those "querlenkers" a month ago. )

Thanks

Hhahahaha, no i told you because i change my daily car for a modern one, at weekend when i take a ride in my nova i think why i dont suscribe to a gym....hahahahahajaja

I don't know about the tread wear of my dunlops. There's nothing written on the tires. Only thing i can say is the exact type: "A46D 720" maybe you can ask dunlop about the tread wear of this tire.

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps2f79163c.jpg

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...psbd96d6ac.jpg

...the mattig bumper.
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...psfd75d1df.jpg

low enought? about 2 inches (4.5cm) left lol
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps87c4441d.jpg

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps7c338aaf.jpg

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps0f38c895.jpg

more will come...
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps583a7c18.jpg

It looks brutal still, shame about the bump but looks like you've sorted it out fast. Did you have a spare bumper then?

Any videos of your track action in France? I need a Nova fix lol

In the first video.. Christ you weren't holding back.

Thanks for the videos, love them.

In the second one what engine is in the 3 series BMW, it looks fast!!!

The BMW was a 2.5l 170hp IIRC

Yesterday i managed to get the EPAS working :)

Bought an adjustable controller box from ebay
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps0da96248.jpg

6mm² and fuse cable for the main power wiring
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps438f5ac5.jpg

because i had no plug for the epas-ecu...
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps62125004.jpg

...i improvised with two 9.5mm blade receptacles
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps99d7a794.jpg

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps236ba251.jpg

for the positive wire i gone trough the bulkhead...
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...pscd96a3de.jpg

...and mounted the cable to the starter motor
http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps1f7cb033.jpg

and to demonstrate how it works i made a video :)

- at the beginning: EPAS turned off
- then i adjust it to medium assistance
- at the end, full assistance
