    EK9 Power rack converted to manual the right way.

    I think it works the same on all racks TBH not just honda. I did this to an ITR rack for my EK4 and it worked a treat. Was more feel.

    Budget Pikey EK4 Track Car

    Well, Took it Donnington. Totally owned it. Was brilliant fun. Right up until about half 11 in the morning. I've said it's been coming for a long time to my mate. Engine keeps drinking oil and we abuse it like ****. Never thought number 3 would melt...

    The practical, comfy daily driver

    Mine seems sweet over pot holes tbh. Rides really well. Even with springs it's dead good. I kind of know what you mean with a poverty spec something however you'd then not have cracking top spec heated leather seats and brilliant sound system. I tend to think that other than its fuel...

    The practical, comfy daily driver

    More comfy? Not sure I agree with that one. More practical maybe. The 4 doors and space I guess but I don't tend to have more than one passenger at once and never carry anything with me. The running costs are insane but that doesn't mean it's not practical. I don't really do boring cars tbh...

    Help from the track day/race guys here.

    Thanks for the info NZracer. They all look to make sense to me. Murray: No side wall rubbage at all. The car is light and 22PSI hot is well enough. We don't even have large amounts of wear on the outside of the tread let alone the wall. Jerrik: Had a conversation with you over winter while i...

    Like i say i will give it a go and see what occurs. I really can't see it gain me any grip but it's worth a shot. Yes just 7PSI. They were having issues at JDMallstars (before it became Driftallstars) at the Birmingham wheels venue with tyres coming off rims. These guys are running no stretch...

    The practical, comfy daily driver

    So i take the pikey EK4 on track. Use this daily. It makes snazzy noises and goes really fast while feeling really slow and tame.

    The cars running like 2 1/3 degree neg front camber. Thats not aggressive at all. I'd be saying it needs more to give it more grip. To add to this we don't have front camber adjustment as we found every kit we fitted collided with the top turret and started to bend the arm. We went back to OEM...

    Budget Pikey EK4 Track Car

    Next outing is Donnington on 18 April. Me and my mate who own this aim to do 1 track day each month probably swapping between Donny and Oulton with maybe 1 at Cadwel. However the car gets driven to each track day so you can imagine the nightmare of driving for 3 hours withe all the noise, no...

    Right bit of an update. Checked the breaks last night as they feel aweful from the track day. Think the pads and disks are nailed. Anyway took a few pictures of the tyre wear. If you look at the tyre from above and divide the tread across the tyre into 4. With 1 being the outside tread (wheel...

    Budget Pikey EK4 Track Car

    Not updated this in a while. Did a load of track days last year and it was a dream. The car needed a bit of work over winter to tidy things up and slightly improve things. SO, We fitted a full ITR front subframe and rack. The rack was de power steering'd at the same time. Also all the front...

    how much did you end up spacing the bottom of the fronts wings by? they look good.

    Lower control arms choices

    I used to run skunk 2. thought the idea of a split bush with an inner collar was terrible. Through the forces on the car the bushes would pop out eaiter side. Ended up throwing them in a skip after a year. I'd personally suggest an LCA with an OEM style bush. The cyberspeed or D2 ones are good...

    Help from the track day/race guys here.

    Right done some reading and found a good thread on r888 tire pressures. I will probably try 30psi rear and 26ish front to try get over this. HOT that is. This is the thread for anyone else wanting a good read. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=784968
