Why? To use them as door stops? Tell him to get some proper tyres!

Lee, are the V70A's readily available now? They were like rocking horse sh#t for a long time...I may get a set for when I need them later. If I ever get the time to get out on track!

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Will also have a set of v70a after this week when I'm home What's best price you have found lee ?

[Captain Vimes]

You've decided on the v70's then chill? Aren't they a bit like cheese, with very limited mileage?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Yeah But I'm desperate to make the car work well with the HArrop to a point where I'm happy to drive it with confidence if this works the car should great if not .... M62 Nothing ventured nothing gained

139 pages is a bit much to look back on..so:

 

For power you are ready to destroy everybody and their mother.

Finally some decent tyres. Should have done that 5 years ago.

Where are you now on suspension and brake pads again?

 

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

This year I have funded quantums and full suspension refresh and corner weighted and setup by MBR racing which I'm hoping is as good as it gets without getting GT hubs This will go with my 1" ARB And hopefully get a set of v70a So I'm giving HArrop power the best chance possible So if weather is good I'm hoping to get 1:18.5 or below on the shorter circuit at angelsey ( previous best 1:19.9 )

I never owned the car five years ago lol 4 years ago it was standard 😩😩

[Captain Vimes]

It'll be a beast with the suspension and tyres. Looking forward to seeing the videos from Anglesey! You should just focus on enjoying it again and forget about the lap time (although 1:18.5 should be within reach if the weather plays ball).

[smiley]

What pads are on?

 

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Rs14s

[smiley]

Are you comfortable with their braking power?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Yes it's about the only thing I've thought was good since going on to them last year

[MAXR]

Chill, go for V70A's with hard on the rears & medium on the fronts. I used to use mediums front & rear, but the Hards on the rears, I found worked even better with my new MBR setup. They last really well too! Spend the morning following a good driver's lines & you'll cream them in the afternoon! There's an outside chance that I may make the 24th & see your beasty.
