Did a few runs today to log EGT's and lambda..

EGT's not pushing over 840oC = good.

Lambda on full throttle runs is 0.828 = also good.

Means there is some leaway to push things further

Debating a change of lightweight alloys from the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's.

The OZ Alleggerita's look a good bet. Weigh under 7kg too.

i love these oz's hurdy! defo winning with these!

Yeah I do like these Jako.

They weigh in at 6.29kg a corner compared to the TDPR 1.2's I have now at 8.2kg. That's a saving of almost 2kg a corner!!

That's perfect for you then! It's what you want! how's is this little beast running anyway?

That's a nice unsprung weight saving then. Could get some titanium wheel nuts too, only about £150 for a set and a surprising amount of weight saved

Do you know what the standard BBS Monzas weigh just out of curiosity?

Very nice them hurdy m8

Monza's with tyres...


TDPR1.2's with tyres...


So, if the tyres weigh the same then the Monza's must weigh 10.6kg. That means that the Alleggerita's are 4.3kg lighter per wheel than the Monza's...That is a LOT!

Oz look sweet mate. I vote yes for change. The TDs are nice, suit the car well, but are far to common these days.

Link to One of the guys who was on my recent trip to Blyton Park trackday.

In his video you can catch me passing him at 1'45" and again at 9'35" at the start of his cooldown lap.

Not a bad little track and relatively safe for newcomers to trackdays as there is plenty of run off space as it is based on an airfield.

sounds nice when you pass him looks like your going for it aswell

That is a lot, but not as much as I was expecting to be honest, I thought Monzas would be heavier than that. Titanium wheel nuts will get it down another half a kilo per wheel too I bet

My car is now up for sale!


Well, I've decided to move on to another project and so the Polo GTI is up for sale.

didn't expect that! anyone would be lucky to have your polo, if only I had £19k lying round

Yeah it is a great car and if I could justify running 2 project cars I would, but I just know I wouldn't use it enough. The last time I had 2 cars I had a £33k car sat in the garage that did 1,700 miles in 8 months from new!
