Sie I'll bring Along your old blue car if you want? though you wouldn't recognise it now!

 

[redzs180]

heres a sneak peak of what its looks like now, be different again by may as ive got lots more plans on it this year,

 

[redzs180]

Do you compete with it or is it still a trackday car?

Simon

Compete with it and tracks days, this year will be all competing hopefully

Redzs180 what j and offset wheels are they? I was looking at some 9.5j rota gtr

no idea what offset but theyre 9j, team dynamics ones. they weight less than a mk1 rim

 

[redzs180]

thats a very surprising quote! thought the seat was way down on performance, wonder what the weight differences are and respective power to weight?

 

[redzs180]

ford focus 205 bhp per ton
Renault megane 186 bhp per ton
seat leon 180 bhp per ton

surprising it came out on top

lets compare it to my zed mg zs 202bhp per ton

^ bloody hell

Anyone got a nitrous kit avalable for April...?

We won't need it we're 500kilos lighter

 

[redzs180]

what about suspension settings? better softer or harder? on a track you go faster with softer suspension on long straights so was thinking of trying that?

 

[redzs180]

Oh my the good old day's when it was tean ZS lol

Dave and Si got pretty good at showing faster more powerful cars the error of there ways lol

For drag racing, if your on road tyres do as Si said, weight transfer for a FWD is easy to see, as you pull away the rear of the car drips thus taking away traction up front, counter this by pushing the weight forward and limit the way the back drops.

On slicks, not the same at all, up front you go harder to allow the slicks to work the way they should.

If it's your first time just turn up and make no changes and get used to the car on the track first, get the jelly legs runs out of the way and see if you can nail a 15.1 in your car as this is pretty much the bench mark, if you can then look at changing stuff.

it will be on slicks and i damn well hope it'll do under 15 seconds as its not exactly standard!

 

[redzs180]

What power and weight is it running?

weight is around 1080kg maybe less, got extra fiberglass bits going on it so not sure yet as it hasnt been weighed in a while. power is around the 220-230bhp. ive got 9inch wide 17inch wheels using the same slicks as the btcc teams use.

 

[redzs180]

sweet!

 

[redzs180]

looking nice!

 

[redzs180]

im still in, its gi=oing to be my road going red zed not my track beast unfortunately got a few issues to sort on it so it wont be going down the strip. looking forward to this tho

 

[redzs180]

whats the set up for this, do you have to book or just turn up and hope to get on? also what time is every one getting up there?

 

[redzs180]

hey guys, nothing was wrong with my zed, i hope no one saw anything dropping out the bottom as everything seems fine on it! i just had to get back was going out that eve and had a few hours drive back, i did try say goodbye but couldnt find anyone so just left. Disappointing day for me too really, only had a few runs and couldnt stop the wheel spin so best i managed was a 15.2 plus i had a set of wheels in the back so not helping weight at all! much prefer a day on track to be honest but great meeting some faces shame i was the only zs there too, but times a changing!
