Yes I was simplifying quite a bit. Fair enough just wanted to clarify to people reading. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk- 36 replies

Hydraulic bump stops are not a spring @Deacon. The spring acts to apply a linearly increasing force on the relief valve. It works to increase the damping force as the spring presses hard into the relief valve. So you get a nice progressive increase in damping towards the end of damper travel that feels a bit less jarring than a rubber stop. They still have tradition rubber stops though, just very thin ones, but they still need something to avoid metal on metal contact at full compression. In the case of the tein flex A it makes it easier to do it with a twin tube. Motorsport dampers have external canisters and the HBS can be incorporated to limit bleed into the external canister under the last (predefined)% compression and thus they can still use a monotube.- 36 replies

You need stiffer springs or roll bars when you lower as you are moving the roll center away from the center of gravity whic in itsefl increase roll, so you need stiffer spring or roll bars to counteract. 20-25mm max for best compromise on 6kg front and rear.

The funnel looking tube?

Oooo I like Snet. Javellin have one at Snet on 26th June http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackdays/index.php?route=product/product&path=75&product_id=360 or I could be tempted to do an evening session at snet on the 6th June. Can get off work at 3pm. http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackdays/index.php?route=product/product&path=75&product_id=365

Cheers - still lots of tuning to do but starting to sound decent. I very nearly went for OEM+ and many times during this install (which took since January) was I swearing at myself for going the full custom route.

He's some closer pictures of the speakers. I love the smooth sound of Morel drive units in my home hifi so I though I would give their Virtus 602s a try. and the XLS10 sub. XLS stands for extra long stroke, these little 10" monsters are capable of delivering pretty good high volume low distortion sound due to the high linear excursion. So you get the benefit of a tighter bottom end in a sealed box without sacrificing volume and ability to go low. Monstrous magnet

I know what you mean as the door preparation has the biggest effect on the sound. Each door took me 6 hours and copies amounts of both vaseline and expletives to get the speaker cable through the door grommets.

Yeah not too bad. Had to add some think strips at the side to cover it properly but overall very happy

Yes I did but im not a fan of going digital to analogue then analogue back to digital then digital to analogue again that and the increased complexity of the system. Would have used a bit ten D if I could get a HU with digital out through. The pioneer does all the signal processing, crossovers ect in the digital domain at 48bits then has 3 very high quality DACs and analoge sections. Its an utter bargain for what it is.

Thanks 😊 I went with single because there isnt a pure sound quality double din available on the market with a good dsp. It seems the sound quality headunit are still mostly single din whereas the doubles are more about fancy screens and features and less about all out sound quality.

Cheers Dan. Im still fine tuning it at the moment but getting there. Its taken since Jan to get the hardware install finished so I havent done any trackdays this year. Time to get on it...

haha its true.

Thanks! I used twin wall 6mm thick to seal the doors from the builder merchant. I covered it with CLD to dampen them. I used this rather than wood because 1) it doesn't mind water and 2) its light. Regarding crossovers, Its still work in progress but I currently have: Right tweeter is high pass filtered at 2.5khz and left at 3.15Khz both with 12dB/Octave slopes Mid bass are both low passed at 2Khz with 12dB/Octave slopes and High passed at 100Hz with 12dB/octave slope Sub is low passed at 80Hz with a 24dB/ocatave slope

I'm sure I will get shot down in flames, but Superchips probably did a decent amount of R&D including road and dyno tuning. 12hp is a modest gain so the map is probably quite safe. For ~£229 including installation and VAT its a bargain! and well over half the price of buying a licence and mapping from our tuners. That said, if you want to add other drive train mods in the future you cant have the map tweaked like you can from our regular tuners.

I've only heard of the one cosworth one going on a chap on the other forum (bought it used). His wasnt closing so engine was never getting up to temp. Ive heard of quite a few of the Mishi going, and when they go it stays closed which means you can overheat the engine. I wrote a lengthy post on the other forum about them. Someone at cosworth made a cockup and didnt pay the thermostat manufacturer. With a 6 month lead time the management made the cleaver silly decision to use the mishimoto stat. Its design was changed slightly since the failed units. When they get proper units back in a few months they will be supplying them with new kit again. I must stress it was not something the lead engineer Matt@Cosworth agreed with doing. Regarding NEEDING a stat. It a bit like an air filter. OEM one is fine but you still change it out for a few HP. Cosworth measured a 2-3hp improvement over stock (N/A power) but it needs to be tuned. As DanJ said its because they can run a little more ignition advance. With the Cosworth tune, it takes this into account. The reason the stock runs so hot is because you get a little better fuel economy. I had the manifold off when I was fitting the Moroso (please dont ever buy one of these) so it was a fairly quick job for me to fit it then. I dont think I would bother just to fit the Tstat, but if you are taking the manifold off you might as well.

Yep I run AD08R all year round but mine is not a daily. If you drive the car daily and rely on it the PS4 are popular. Few things about the AD08R 1) noisy 2) stiff 3) when cold, particularly in the winter, they lack wet weather grip. As long as you are aware and dont mind taking it easy in poor conditions, you are rewarded with alto of grip in the dry, especially when warm. They are no worse than primacies in the cold and wet. Regarding wear. They have a treadwear rating of 180 which relates ot motorway use. I've done 6 trackdays and 6k road miles with them and they still have more than half their tread.

I think it has a great tone! It sounds quite meaty on the drive by once the car goes past.. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

At the track I am sure they do 45degree 1meter to the side on mine. Haven't done an msv day in a few years though. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Was the static done at 45degress and 1 meter from one of the tail pipes? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Yes I agree. Id do a heavily compressed version of mine in the blog, that people will likely find far more interesting (or not) than the big thread it has become. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Sorry didnt see the ad08r was on the list. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

In all honesty the pilot super sport is on the A1 list and the PS4 is a bit slower than that in the dry. Where would my AD08R put me? They certainly are not as fast as the semi slicks on the 1B list....and are billed as road tyre.
