No why? I'm north of Aberdeen. AB56

I'll have one in the group buy

The correct cable for the Aim Solo DL came and now I can do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM6JNCTGIDU

yep - much better.

I've cancelled the bars off the order. Mark I will see if I get time this week to change over the suspension back to stock and get these clubsports sent down to you for repair / revalve + a set of springs. I do run rake in the car, around 12mm. Front wheel centre to arch is approx 330mm, rear is approx 342mm. I dont know how much from stock I am lowered, I can just put a finger between the front arch and tyre, 2 fingers at rear. Tyre size is 235/40R17.

It's the way the ex AMD BTCC Golf was set up too. I have been looking for a company in the UK to send my Clubsports (2 way) off to for repair and a revalce to suit a slightly harder spring set, I was thinking 8 front 9-10 rear as it is still my primary street car though we are looking at changing her fiat 500 to a countryman / qashqai which would take the pressure off me having the 'commuter' car. Longest session was 17 minutes, though this was a warm up, 3 flying, 2 cool, 2 flying, 1 cool or something along those lines and into pit due to tyres going off. Brakes were not an issue, no fade. I checked my boots prior to changing the pads last week too and they are still ok. Tyre pressures were set to 34 psi hot during the morning, then they came down to 31 hot for the afternoon sessions.

Where are you seeing 85mph? The clip above shows entry at over 100mph gps slowing through apex... Just watched the longer video, I guess you are talking about whilst I'm behind a civic? If so, it's obviously slower then as I am in traffic...

Did cadwell a couple times before in minis but was a first in rwd. I went with those bars as it's what is on the motoiq car in the states, plus Simon at cornering forces philosophy is to generally use larger bars with softer springs. Clubsports come with 6kg all round iirc. The front wheel was bottoming out going up coppice on occasions, but not every time - the faster entries it did anyway. I was going in over 100mph speedo, gps (as per video) is obviously slower / more accurate than the speedo. I'm not sure I follow what you are meaning by loading it up 'properly'? Here is a clip of one of the faster entries, you can hear the tyre contact the arch just before it goes a bit sideways. https://instagram.com/p/4wkxDGQsEo/

Wasnt too happy with the suspension at Cadwell: Front too low / too much roll. The tyre is contacting the inner fender on compression and causing the steering to be very unpredictable and 'grabby'. To prevent this in future I'm going to raise the front up another 5-10mm and I have ordered a 22mm whiteline adjustable anti-roll bar, along with a lower control arm caster kit - again whiteline. I've also ordered a 18mm bar for the rear. Both bars come with new end links. The front clubsports rebound adjustment is also stuck on soft - siezed up during winter and I guess I have broke the adjustment in the passenger side shock when trying to free it up. Still happy with the Nankang tyres, they are lasting well and provide enough grip - around 1.1 - 1.2g constant during cornering. I ordered an Aim Solo DL but unfortunately wasnt sent the correct cable to log various things at cadwell, just lap times really, no OBD information. And finally, heres the graph from Abbey:

Exactly with the heat yesterday the steering wheel would have been extra slippy. Providing there is an interior MSV have no issue with short sleeves, I was pulled for suction mounts twice though

quick vid of the quickest lap where my gopro and AIM Solo were on at the same time. I've many excuses as to why its so slow but I will keep them to myself

260 hub hp with a retune being done by Mark at Abbey motorsports today. Sweltering hot as most of the country know, so the struggle was to keep the car cool, maybe a couple more hp in on a colder day but I'm happy with the outcome nonetheless. Cadwell park tomorrow

There cant be many further north than me - I prefer trackdays to meets though. Going to Cadwell July 2nd, Croft July 6th and Knockhill July 11th (if im still home for it)

I use the same wheels as Rob, tyres are 235/40R17 Nankang NSR-2. Used this set up NA before I went FI and was fine.

I've done 3 I think with them fitted. Havent closely checked the dust boots whilst checking how much pad is left (havent needed to change pads yet) so cant comment, there is no discolouration of the calipers though. I've also only driven knockhill with them, which has a 105>30mph breaking zone, followed by a 100+>65 but generally I wouldnt say the track is too hard on brakes. Different people use brakes differently / wrongly on track though which will make a difference to the caliper temps etc.

Thanks for that hashiriya For those interested, multiplying your engine RPM by 15.523 will give you the supercharger rpm with this pulley set up.

Good info for this thread too. Boost pressure 39mm vs 40.5mm Restrictor 3000rpm = 39mm 0.17 bar / 2.5psi _______ 40.5mm 0.20 bar / 2.9psi 4000rpm = 39mm 0.31 bar / 4.5psi _______ 40.5mm 0.34 bar / 4.9psi 5000rpm = 39mm 0.45 bar / 6.5psi _______ 40.5mm 0.51 bar / 7.4psi 6000rpm = 39mm 0.55 bar / 8.0psi _______ 40.5mm 0.65 bar / 9.4psi 7000rpm = 39mm 0.38 bar / 5.5psi _______ 40.5mm 0.58 bar / 8.4psi (holds this pressure to limiter)

As I am going back to work tomorrow, I removed my restrictor and put in one I made last time at work which is 40.5mm (1.5mm larger than 'stock') Note: I plan on opening the stock restrictor that comes with the kit up on the lathe at work. Boost pressure 39mm vs 40.5mm 3000rpm = 39mm 0.17 bar / 2.5psi _______ 40.5mm 0.20 bar / 2.9psi 4000rpm = 39mm 0.31 bar / 4.5psi _______ 40.5mm 0.34 bar / 4.9psi 5000rpm = 39mm 0.45 bar / 6.5psi _______ 40.5mm 0.51 bar / 7.4psi 6000rpm = 39mm 0.55 bar / 8.0psi _______ 40.5mm 0.65 bar / 9.4psi 7000rpm = 39mm 0.38 bar / 5.5psi _______ 40.5mm 0.58 bar / 8.4psi (holds this pressure to limiter) I can really feel the difference at the top side. PI duty increased from 34% to 44% duty cycle. Fuel rail pressure is steady.

I think I will give the Elf a miss at that price lol. I head away back to work tomorrow so I'll consider changing out to a thicker oil prior to next track day

If you could that would be great - Im sure I heard or read somewhere that its set up to spin at 'maximum' and uses the restrictor to reduce power, so 110,000rpm possibly. I just want to know for sure and plot where things are on the compressor map.

Jay - did you measure the supercharger pulley prior to fitting? Or does anyone with a kit laying about want to measure the pulley?

No I am seeing no knock when cold, the reply I got from Delicious goes like this: "Well this log verifies exactly what I was thinking. The oil is not up to operating temperature (needs to be about 80 Celsius) and because of this the cams will not operate correctly. We place a lot of work on the cams for the car to feel and work well, while making power. When the cams are not operating the car will run very rich in certain conditions and cause false knock at lower RPM's, which in turn makes the Advance Multiplier drop drastically. You can check the log yourself and see the Advance Multiplier is dropping where it is extemely rich, and the cams are not operating, yet there is no sign of any knock."
