truCido Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 congrats on your win, does the champsionship go to other circuits other than castle coombe?Thanks We're just at Combe at the moment, there have been talks of maybe doing a visit to another circuit but it hasn't gone anywhere yet.Great topic, I'm always up at the coombe saloons as I look after Carlton Williams mgzr and hopefully next year Nigel Marsh will make a return and will give Tony Hutchings and the Prebble boys a run for their money Will pop over and say hi next timeAh yeah cool!! He's been going well this year. Good stuff, there seems to be a few extra cars already next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Congratulations!Could anyone suggest me suspension for my Lupo 1.8 turbo rollcaged race car? Maybe Bilstein Lupo Cup or KW Variant 3 (or Clubsport)?This car was build for timeattack and circuit racing/Thanx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truCido Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thanks!! I'm actually looking at suspension at the moment for mine and the cost of the KW's is really putting me off, they don't seem to do a clubsport package for the Lupo either.I've been looking at a Bilstein setup with some custom springs which comes in at about half the price of the KW's....Congratulations!Could anyone suggest me suspension for my Lupo 1.8 turbo rollcaged race car?

truCido Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Thought I'd give a quick update. I don't have much planned over the winter apart from replacing the suspension with a Gaz Gold setup and also replacing my raceland manifold with a Ashley manifold. I've got to make a few mods to the car as next year we'll be carrying ballast if we finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truCido Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Went out for a bit of testing today and the car was going well. Felt much better through the corners...until I turned into a corner as normal and the car span for no reason...turns out it was on fire!!! Luckily I got waved down and it was put out. The power steering pipe was on the manifold and burnt through it and caught fire. There was power steering fluid everywhere so I must've slid on it.
