[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Top job Chris looks like a great day i would say droop as well how much travel have you got when you jack the car up .Car looks like it is all good :-)

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

I will measure droop when I get chance

I went from my old 2009 ntr40's having 2.5cm droop, to 2016 ntr40 having 8.5 cm So yeah, measuring could be interesting

Impossible to resist a tussle with a Mac Kept up admirably. What model was it? Bet he was wondering why the little plastic thing behind him wouldn’t disappear in his rear view Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fantastic ending ! Your car is the same cost as his brake setup

[SteveA]

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Think he was leaning on all the aids

[SteveA]

Absolutely, I would with a car with 650bhp and worth £130K+ too.

Hi Chris, I'm glad Oulton went well for you, your car caused alot of talk on a WhatsApp group I'm on, with a friend with a red type R accord who was there on the same day. He was well impressed! He got speaking to the McClaren driver who eventually admitted he couldn't shake you after he overran the chicane. I've ordered my wheels and tyres from wheelbase but they aren't going to be here until end off April unfortunately. (250 cheaper then deamon tweaks, but I have to wait) You said that you will have to remove the lip on the rear clam, have u got a pic? Also there has been a few posts referencing droop, excuse my stupidity but what are you referencing? I've also booked in to Oulton on 17th April (prob still in old car) if your going? It would be good to see how your car runs. Adam Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Droop is how much the suspension travels before the wheel lifts of the ground when you jack it up I will measure it today if I get chance, By lip , I mean if you look under the wheel arch there is a bit that sticks out, possibly to hold arch up but mine sit a lot higher than that, I still have work to do on the car, I had a massive list at the beginning of the year but family life happens and work has been full on so only got through the minimum The grip has moved significantly to the rear of the car now and i feel I'm needing more front end especially under braking The McLaren driver sounds like a top bloke he has invited me to go on a track day with him and a trip to the evo triangle with him and his mates,

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Droop I said approx 82mm

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

This is the bit which needs removing on inner arch ( top)

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Just cleaned wheels and the rear tires have taken the track day well but the fronts have been battered

Thanks Chris, its difficult to make out from the photo, but I'm sure it will make sense when I take the clam off next month, (to pack my silencer). When you ordered your wheels, we're they special order? Was the ir delivery time accurate? Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

No took 3 weeks longer than they should but think they already have the moulds
