Hi Finlay,

That would be Stevie with his very nice ST 170 Zetec powered Minor. I had a visit yesterday to Crosshill Garage in Brechin and your name came up in conversation. I was enquiring about getting my pcm tweaked, but he only does stand alone units, not the gm ones. Still, my Minor is quick enough.



Hope to catch up some day.

cheers

Pete

yea would be great to catch up, Ben @ crosshill is a top bloke and superb at what he does, he did all the wiring, ecu/dash install and added a swirl pot/lift pump not to mention getting it through its MOT for me

been out for a track day and was very happy with the R888 225s once up to temp they really stuck, found the springs abit floaty so am looking to go stiffer, got 350 front and 175 rear, front felt fine but back didnt, any recomendations for rear ?

cheers

Float usually means underdamped rather than undersprung. If you just increase the rear spring rate you could just make the mismatch stronger.

Love the car by the way.

No thanks. I'd take the V10 M3 posted yesterday over this and that was overpriced too.

Interesting that it's up for sale, wonder what the reason is. Beautiful looking car but I wonder is handling an issue with this type of engine?

How many miles a year are you planning to do in this beast OP? I'm really looking forward to some running reports!

Handling isn't an issue, the engine is very compact and light so weight balance is not much affected.

The drivers ability to manage to power to the back wheels is a bigger consideration
