I did just sit and write a long reply, but as usual and I should of expected it, the app crashed just as I'd sat for 10 minutes... which is extremely extremely frustrating beyond belief... @
James please look into it... its beyond funny now
Anyway, you hate SR's? Me and you will get on well
Dont worry once its up and running and he's happy then its free for me to share to everyone else
I really want to share it, but its not my place as its not 100% my design
They emailed me and offered me a place in the November standings but its too early for me just yet, especially as its at night, I dont know Brands all too well and I dont know the car too well its still in my eyes a fresh build... very unknown
My coilovers vary, I sent you a link to them
of course I'm going to say the most expensive ones are the better choice, but you'll appreciate why. They have adjustable damping, and can be valved to suit the springs they come with, which again is choice of the buyer. Problem is they're height fixed and are preload only
The cheaper ones are fixed damping and its stiff too, but so are the springs they come with, but they do have separate height and preload adjustability so you can properly corner weight them.. you can upgrade them to the 2.25" spring version where you can pick the spring rates and I'll lathe up some smaller seats for them
I always heard people raving about T1Rs although none of them really had any standing it was just people who drove too quickly on public roads.. so I've tested em myself, heat up quick, grip well even with low weight applied (K10 rear is very light really) but they dont half scrub
Engine wise I am one huge GA16 fan so that will be my recommendation. People say use the CG13 and turbo it, but if you're going to that effort, get a much more readily available and cheaper GA16 and turbo that instead... the gains to be had by turbo'ing a GA are in my opinion unparalleled. They double in power form only half a bar.. and if you do the much required porting and polishing (the exhaust ports are far too small for 1600cc) and change the con rod bolts... you're good for 250hp no problem. One GA15 runs 22psi on a daily basis. Very very tough engine... and its not all about Horsepower... they always always match their torque figure with the HP figure
