Not me unfortunately not enough holiday and nothing to drive
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Quote from: shnazzle on July 22, 2022, 14:42What happened to the 1zz front license plate?

The pics with the number plates on where Tourist drives where anyone can go on and do a lap, and you have to have number plates as its essentially a toll road.

the ones without the number plates were track day pics where your allowed to take them off.

Hi All

Hope your all doing well, been a while.

Not much has happened with the 2 cars since the Nürburgring, done a couple more track days at Anglesey and Oulton park.

The only upgrade is we got a bucket seat and sliding rails for the 2zz. The one 1zz will get the same treatment with a red bucket seat either recaro or bride i imagine.

Managed to pick the seat up second hand but brand new for a very good price, and decided to give the PCI sliding rails a try, although expensive they work well and seem a quality item, and allows us to retain some functionality of the rear compartment and for friends to have a go in the car etc.

youngest decided it was his new seat for cartoons time :)

Hi All

Hope your all well, been doing some modifications over the winter on both cars, the 1zz had 2zz shorter ratios swap in to the box kept the 1zz 6th, so much better now. never really understood why they used such crazy long ratios for the uk roadster

2zz had the rear end refreshed, new powder coated parts,subframe etc, hardrace arms, fitted a oil cooler to help with the high temps 2zz see.
Had our first trackday of the season at Anglesey this week, was a great day.

Looking good out on track.

What temps where you seeing before fitting the oil cooler? Also temps after fitting?

Mine gets to 125c on a hard session.

Great to see they're both being worked hard.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Hi JB21

It doesn't have a oil temp gauge currently, need to rectify that.

i know they get warm so trying to reduce that.

How long does it take for you to get to 125? how many laps of oulton at full chat?

On a warm day say a lap or 2 warm up then 3-4 hot laps to get to 125c. I have the alarm set at 125 so once I here this I back off for a cool down lap, then go again for another lap or 2. I also use millers nanodrive cfs nt+ as this has great hot stability and also extended drain intervals.

Yeah Elise parts sump for me still doing its thing. Is it a custom oil cooler you have or off the shelf one? Need to do the same really.

I ended up making my own kit up, the only kits I could find were either silly expensive and or I didn't like the placement of the coolers.

Ended up costing us about 350 quid all in.
