and some clear air under the two inner tyres - nice! That was a tricky corner, slid out of it on one occasion when I entered with insufficient braking

yes, it was a great day - didnt get to meet everyone @CanaryWundaboy I looked for your Norwich city top but didn't see it which perhaps explains why I didn't see you?

My winter wheels - Rota GRA steel grey 17X7.5 OEM tyre size

I asked the guy at javelin whether to stay on my winters or put the primacies back on. he said, if it's wet, stay on the winters otherwise go with the primacies as you will get a lot of heat into them at speed. hopefully it's dry, I've got 5mm left on the primacies so it's an opportunity to wear them sufficiently to need better rubber on for the summer

there's now 13 GT86s on the list having cosworth streemaster pads fitted tomorrow in preparation

I'm interested - will continue to monitor this thread,Keith

Groan !!! BTW saw him in concert in the 80s, fell off his stool and bouncers had to put him back on it - poor bloke!

I agree - my wife loves her 500 convertible and it looks fabulous set next to my 86 on the drive - real his 'n' hers cars it's so easy to drive, just needs more than 69 ponies......

gutted for you on the bright side, looks a nice easy repair

I've been thinking about the effect of removing weight from the moving parts of the engine, e.g. flywheel, pulleys etc and I was wondering just how effective they are. basically, I need the man maths! so, I came across this description - is this right? does it really effectively lose 45 KG ? The PERRIN Performance Crank Pulley weighs just 1.2 lbs, which is 3.7 pounds lighter than the stock OEM crank pulley. This reduction in weight from the crank shaft is equal to removing more than 100 lbs of vehicle weight! Throttle response, horsepower and torque are all increased with this easy to install part so 3.7 lbs is 1.67 KG, so going on from here, if I fitted the fensport pulley kit that is 2.095 lighter do I then effectively remove approx. 56 KG ?? and if I fit a lightened flywheel, does the same maths apply? thanks for any feedback.

great find - thanks Spec K !

warning! 1) it's funny 2) it's catchy, you might sing it out loud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_5uVdy5YmA enjoy

great thread this - enjoying it. I keep hearing all these good things about the Fensport remap and May 12th cant come quick enough for mine

Lasagne for me and Spinach and ricotta tortellini for Mrs Galaxian please - see you all there.

thanks for all the replies. though I am still unaware of the maths for this, and I have also tried researching it to no avail, I think I will give this mod a miss - there are just too many unknowns for me. so, I'll stick to what I know, the more simple things I understand. it's been an interesting learning curve though!

either date is fine for me, but would prefer 28th - Mrs Galaxian is up for it too the aviation museum is worth a visit too, small but some interesting stuff
