Default Thanks Zak *thumbs up*

Just spent the afternoon over at mocom racing throwing some ideas about with Zak for the scoob, and phase one has taken place with the suspension geometry ( which was miles out) being setup to his spec and giving the car alot more of a neutral feel, with some very predictable handling when throwing it around, feels much nicer, also full health check and oil and filter change complete.

What a top guy, really knows his stuff and a nice guy to talk to about ideas for tuning, id recommend his outfit Mocom racing to anyone on here...

oh and Frayz i saw your car in the flesh there today, the new dash is looking awesome

Tim

Frayz need your advise on a mates car.
It's a Mondeo with a cosworth lump in it he's having problems with the alternator size & other little bits to get it running.
I want to help him out on this as it's been of road for 4 years due to being let down by the person who had it in his garage for those 4 years.

There are a few things that need to be done pre- Time Attack to make it competitive and reliable/safe enough.

Brakes are sorted now - nice to see Simon Norris with the same discs as me (i am guessing that these will be up to the job then)

I must admit, i'm slightly nervous/concerned about this time attack challenge.... not sure what to expect and just how competitive my old bag of nuts will be.... guess there's only one way to find out!
