thegoth 5 Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 My current recomendation is one of these : http://www.cg-lock.co.uk/Keeps you well in your seat so you can concentrate on steering rather then hanging on.Unless you go for full on racing seats, a harness is not recommended, especially on a 3dr, as the extra strain in a crash can snap the seat back leaving your own back unprotected.TGP.s my apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs but have a look here www.nurburgring.org.uk before tackling the 'Ring Link to post Share on other sites

cglock 0 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hi! I have contacted your administrator about organising a group-buy for the CG-Lock... an ideal add-on for anyone not wanting to go 'all the way' with bucket seat and harness!

Seademon 0 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 My cars got Eibach ARB's and has been fully poly bushed, transforms the handling I'd definately recomend it if your doing some track days - my car used to move all over the place under hard braking but since the poly bushes have been fitted it stays in a straight line :0) Link to post Share on other sites
Shrek 0 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 buy some cut slicks! they make soooooo much difference!! Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Grooved discs & some uprated pads will help aswell otherwise you'll have no brakes after about 4 bends! Go for just grooved as the the drilled and grooved discs warp quickly - I've got standard discs fitted at the mo but with green stuff pads and braided hoses and my brakes didnt fade at all at the ring so I've left the standard discs on for my trip there in 2 weeks time :0) Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Is it only two weeks ;-)When I went for the same brake set up as Seademon I also had ATE Super Blue Racing Fluid 'fitted'. Higher boiling point and lower water uptake. £10+vat/L from Eurocarparts, shops not mail order. A competant mechanic can do the change using 1L.TG Link to post Share on other sites
