RichjWilliams - Track Day Trophy #343

[Chi]

If the race car is all ready for Oulton, then yes I will come over.

SHOTGUN!!!!!

 

[richjwilliams]

Definitely mate, have a drive if you like

That is a very generous offer, however I would only drive it half hearted as I would be too aware that I'm driving borrowed property lol, so probably more enjoyable to passenger whilst you thrash it within an inch of its life

 

[marinemackay2003]

Workshops look familiar as does the dewis

 

[Fred@BTM]

All that effort and you basically "setup" your suspension to have a tiny bit more than stock camber? Odd! You should be at -3deg easily

 

[Chi]

You going Chris? marinemackay2003

Its not out of choice mate, it physically won't go any further on the one side, best we could get on the drivers side I think was 1.7degs, so we set it best we could on the passenger side and had to reduce it to match.

Do camber bolts wear out? We were planning on elongating the holes on the suspension and doing away with the camber bolts tbh but when we have it all off again so after Bedford

I think Dewis was telling us about you are your car, supercharged clio??

 

[Tony Hunter]

You assume correct young man.

 

[marinemackay2003]

yeah that's me, fairly decent workshop for track cars

Supercharged project is a bit slow though

 

[richjwilliams]

Fingers crossed you get done all you need ready for oulton

If you do come to Bedford, I think me and Matt would like another session of being tony'd as I'm sure would ash with the standard petrol contributions of course

It was brilliant mate, a luxury fir us to have such facilities for the weekend

[marinemackay2003]

[Fred@BTM]

[richjwilliams]

[richjwilliams]

Well I came out to the car and someone done this

Luckily I slipped on eBay the week before abd this came

It looks and feels brilliant

Need to adjust the seat and wire in the horn but its all ready to go otherwise

Next up to replace brake pads and check the eml as annoyingly its come on now

 

[Ash-b-84]

Looks sweet rich mines comin next week, you fitting the ph1 stalk or re wiring the horn?

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Loving this mate, nice to see it's getting driven. Steering wheel looks good aswel

Just going to wire in the horn only needs some space connectors and I can use the original plugs

 

[richjwilliams]

Loving this mate, nice to see it's getting driven. Steering wheel looks good aswel

That it does can't wait to get back out and see what the improvements are like

Are you a previous owner?

 

[Ash-b-84]

Thats mint then did you have to get resistor for it?

 

[richjwilliams]

Well it comes with a resistor but none of that is fitted as yet, I was hoping to just get it all turned off on clip at some point

 

[richjwilliams]

The boss kit I mean

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Goodstuff

No mate, just good to see cars being used as they should be :approve:

 

[Chip-mk1]

Im sure dan from sjm can bring clip to Bedford.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Aye I'll bring it up.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Sounds like rich and ash will owe you dinner then as Ash needs his doing at Bedford too.

 

[richjwilliams]

Sounds like rich and ash will owe you dinner then as Ash needs his doing at Bedford too.

More than happy with that if dan is

 

[richjwilliams]

Do I need to have done anything in advance? Ie resistors?

 

[richjwilliams]

Goodstuff

No mate, just good to see cars being used as they should be :approve:

That it does hopefully a couple if extra times this year too

 

[Chip-mk1]

No you don't need resistors. He will just reconfigure the airbag ecu to inform it yours has no airbags.

 

[Ash-b-84]

Sweet , nice 1 dan

 

[richjwilliams]

Had a parcel arrive today:

With a nice return address

And wrapped beyond belief

It was,
Wrapped on pacel paper,
In a box,
Wrapped in duct tape
Wrapped in masking tape
Cable tied

Thanks nick lol

Many hours later I got to this

So this evening I will be

Fitting new brake pads
Setting the driving position
Wiring up horn
Check eml

 

[Martin.]

Aye I'll bring it up.

There you go GW200

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Ha nice return address

 

[Ash-b-84]

Sure theyl work well mate

 

[richjwilliams]

Brake pads changed

Horn wired in
Seat moved back
Eml switched off with no return

Test drive abd bedding in the brakes tomorrow

 

[Chip-mk1]

Lol @ playing the return address game.


The editor of fast ford sent me a package once with similar on.
Postman must have wondered what was going on as I was working away so had given him my mothers address to send the stuff to who is in her 60s.

 

[Jonnio]

No you don't need resistors. He will just reconfigure the airbag ecu to inform it yours has no airbags.

Assume this can be done for pretty much any car? Got told it wasn't possible by a garage a while back.

If you have the right equipment to reconfigure the airbag setup the ecu thinks the car has then yes.

 

[Jonnio]

Cheers. I did think it must be possible with different numbers of air bags across different models.
