Wez Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Someone's nicked your skirts Wez! Indeed, I also have a stock spoiler and front on its way too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Do you feel the stock spoiler will make any difference? I have no spoiler holes on the new one, and I'm loathed to drill any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it will make much difference, with decent tyres the rear is normally quite planted, its easy for me to swap as I have a spare rear hatch with holes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The vids looked like it was quite a lively drive without the R888's It's amazing the difference a decent set of tyre's make Looks better without the VS skirts, are you also removing the spats?

The difference is crazy, although it did make it fun and to be honest I thought they coped very well for what they cost in comparison The spats should be going as well, I already have the stock rear trim to replace them.

Homer Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Judging by the Porsche video you weren't doing to bad on them One more question Wes, were you short shifting coming out of the corners? Not sure if it's just the audio but it sounded like you were using a lot more of the rpm range on the staights. If you were short shifting, was that due to grip?

Homer Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Very nice Wes, need to be careful closing those doors now Do you have any track time booked this summer to test it out? Are you coming along to Pod too? I know it's not your thing, but with all the work that's gone into the car it'd be good to see what it can do down the 1/4 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Any updates Wez? Can't wait to see this beast mate at a meet sometime soon. Not really, I havent been on track for a while but did use it as a daily driver for a bit which was interesting Funnily enough I was just looking at the MSV mailshot as there are trackdays at Brands and Snetterton next week going cheap but wouldn't want to risk it with my leaking diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt realise you had doors like on mine (Ryans ex) I will be making some full carbon versions soon (they will be painted white to match the car) They should be under 8kg each (maybe less) with perspex when done If you are interested I will keep you updated. Need to get the car Sub 1,200kg's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
