w1ggz track lude return to Powerstation

[NafemanNathan]

As for 17 inch wheels we found that it completely killed the power of are lude compared to the 15s. Really is a big difference in the too.

Was that running the same model tyres, width and pressure?

Happy to hear your 360 didn't leave you with 360 car parts Dan

Looking forward to the vids

No the tyres were different makes but were still just ordenry road tyre. The psi would of been bit higher in the 17 and bit wider. But then we changed the 15 to slick tyres then that was that (unbelievable grip). We actually have performance 16 tyres comen this week which will be interesting to see the difference on to performance 15 to 16s. We couldn't get them in the size of are 15 rims so just went for it.

16s are enough for atr brakes. Don't have to go with 17

imho - stick with 15"s & get some track day tyres;

Thanks for the link mate I've messages them about tyres. Would anyone recommend a brand for wet days?

Well rather annoyingly I mucked up the app for the track time and didn't allow it to access my phone so now I've lost them grrrrrrrt.
I've got some pics to upload from the day which I'll try and get done this week.
I've also got some tasty parts to go on which I was gonna take pics of today before loading into the back of the Lude but I forgot lol
My cars now in my garage at my new house so you will have to wait till Sunday for my proper update lol
Got some plans for over the winter

[NafemanNathan]

Ooo, can you tell us what they are?

Shame you lost the data.

Just a couple of parts off Phil is all there is to say at the moment.
I'm gonna book in for another dyno run before the end of the month see what difference the lightweight fly wheel/PAS removal and 2.5 decat back solid fab exhaust has made before I put the next few bits on.
I haven't completed the PAS removal yet just removed the belt before the last track day to see how it felt and its a vast improvement to the feel and control you get, so it will get finished properly soon.
Id like to get to 240bhp before I go back out next year but as you know I'm still learning all this engine stuff so I'd like to see for me and the use of other people on here what these changes can make step by step.

It's about time I updated this as there's been a fair amount done over the last couple of months,
So since last year I've been gathering bits and pieces to get fitted on

There is more than just that pic I'll get to them in this post
I finally got round to getting my fujitsubu manifold and front pipe on that I bought off Phil last year, this wasn't quite straight forward as I've currently got a solid fab de-cat back that used to be on nitins old sir, this didn't quite mate up properly which I didn't realise until it was all off and ready to go on.





This left a small gap between the front pipe and the cat back this is where the boys next door came in handy with the welder and chopped up the decat pipe







It doesn't look pretty but does the job with no blowing. But I'll definitely will have to find a mot tester that understands the import no cat rule lol.
I decided to respray the track wheels just to tidy them up a little bit.






I've also now fully removed the power steering system which was a right pain in the ass.
Then my next packaged arrived at work


I'll update more later on when I get home there's still loads more to put on
