Rover tomcat-updated

[tomcat]

new year new grill -gone back to the early coupe style (got bored) think I prefer it now








I have also poly bushes the engine stabilisers and lower suspension arms.
A larger bore and silenced cat bypass.
Rebuilt my front calipers due to spongy pedal -now seams much improved

Also going to add adjustable caster arms hopefully at the weekend to sort the uneven caster out before I give it a first blast of the season at snetterton

ps: how much caster is good?
its currently at 3.1deg and 3.7deg
I was thinking 4.0deg both sides?

Looking good, hopefully we will be in the same group at snetterton!!! We should have a good tussle on track, i was running 1.22 sec last time at snett with the big man.

Having my new diff and Cup tyres fitted for the event so i'm hoping they will give me a little more time.

Got some new track settings to try also..

Game on lol..

Why had i missed this thread??

Looks really good mate and lovely spec too I bet its a nice drive on track.
I personally love the white and flouro colour combo on track cars
Some how makes them look more purposefull..
Really cool will be watching from now on.

Not many updates except I have gone down from 17" to 16" wheels with a bit more track.
This has enabled me to go wider on the tyres to 225's.
First impressions grip seems better especially in a straight line, whether its actually quicker around the track I am not sure.. another bonus is the ride is much better and it doesn't feel like the cars going to break hitting curbs on track
Don't think they look quite as good though..



I am going to try more camber next time on track and new race brake pads hopefully might see a small improvement.
Also going to have the gearbox off over the winter and run a lower final drive as its too high geared for track.
Currently its geared for 165mph I am going to change it to 150mph at 6500rpm.

Want to try to knock 1-2 sec off my lap times if poss
