Looking good and as said, just nice to see it on track being enjoyed (and abused

)

Couple of thoughts which I may have mised earlier so apologies but are you running any ducting to the brakes to help with the temps? And on your comments about roll can you bring the height down a bit? I know different cars respond differently to ride height - r32s for eg dont like being too low - so not sure about sierra's

No we're not running any brake ducting at the moment it's one of the jobs on the winter list. The reason we boiled the brake fluid was a simple error. When Alan noticed the smoke and cut across the pit entry lane and stopped by the marshalls, he pulled the handbrake on as we jumped out the car.

With reference to roll Sierra's don't respond well to being lowered more than about 30mm. The new springs have made a big difference and the car feels flatter and more responsive to turn. Although we're still searching to find footage or pics of the car going through copse as we may go stiffer still.

As crazy as this might sound but we've actually raised the ride height of the car. 10mm at the front and 20mm at the rear. Two reasons for doing this, the first being we need to run wider tyres and even with cutting the arches and fitting the arch kit the clearance was still minimal. The other reason was the car was squatted down on the rear and under acceleration it looked like a speedboat and this was made worse by the front undertray then being at the wrong angle of attack

After all their hard work on the car and the beating Alan gave it 2 weeks ago he and Wayne decided to take the cars to the Coventry festival of motoring at Stoneleigh Park for the weekend..........Piss up

A couple of minor upgrades are now planned for the car.

1. New oil breather set up
2. New bigger intercooler
3. Swedish Inlet
4. New inlet cam (Already got one for the exhaust)
5. Double valve springs

Once all the above are done and sorted there will be 2 more steps to take.

1. Raise the rev limit from 6500 rpm to about 7500-7800rpm
2. Dial in another 5psi of BOOST.

We started with 23psi and are currently running 25psi.
