Hi Micky
hows it going , what did you think of the slicks ??
genaral conversation !!! it's not all about power it's a whole package
brakes/suspension/tyres
i look at it this way why buy normal coilovers for 500+ that wont last 6 months on a circuit before they leak/bend or fail and with the Bilsteins (racing ones) all they have cost me for the front and rear £650 for quality and they will last a hell of a long time and the re-sale valve is still pretty high you will always get your money back
Dencent Brakes/Discs/Pads/brake fuild is a must on a car and more than anything else "shite" brakes/pads/discs /Brake fluid = 3 laps it's all over forget about it
the brakes will be dead
slick tyres is everything aswell forget the road tyres all they are good for is the road and thats it
if you have these ingredients you won't be doing to bad on a circuit at all
I have a budget of 2.5k thats all i have got to spend on it so chassis was more important than an engine
Marco
Thats it for me aswell, really not about the horse power, I cant afford to buy, run and maintain a big BHP motor, chassis is the wasy to go
Marco those Bilstiens look the nuts, same spec as Im looking for on a 2wd sapphire, rose joints and track specific, struggling for a decent price from an off the shelf set
are these readily available or are you "in the know"
