vignesh · 08-29-2014, 01:00 AM

RCE tarmac t2's
Subframe Bushings and Transmission bushing
DBA t3 disc and Ferodo brake pads, stainless steel brake lines
PSS tires
P3 vent guage
Perrin oil cooler

Some pics:

Lowered 0.8 inches approximately

Yes but you might be on your own for a while - 8:00 is a bit early for most people - but enjoy a coffee or two while waiting

Nice set of mods!

RCE tarmac t2's <-- I'm seriously considering these coilovers. Your impressions? Any track time with them?
Subframe Bushings and Transmission bushing <-- Any other bushings to recommend after these? Front/rear control arms perhaps? What about diff?
Perrin oil cooler <-- required for track duty?

Cheers!

Hey Pierre,

I have a lot of the same mods as @vignesh - I think he copied me

RCE Tarmac 2 coilovers
Raceseng CasCam plates
SPL rear lower control arms
Whiteline 16mm adjustable rear sway bar (BSR54)
Whiteline rear adjustable end links (KLC182)
Whiteline front adjustable end links (KLC179)
Whiteline steering rack bushings (KSR210)
Whiteline positive shift kit bushing (KDT926)
Whiteline rear crossmember bushing inserts (KDT922)
Perrin rear shift rod bushing

@Slick has tried my car at Calabogie - you can ask him for impressions. I'll be at the Calabogie 1morelap evenings Sep 13 and 26 and the MCO day on Sep 21. If you're around, you can try my car.

Changing the tires made the biggest difference. The t2 are amazing in that I am able to dial in the setup. I have gone to 3 autocross with those coilovers and makes the car much more predictable and lot more planted. Sometimes it's frustrating when u do get the setup wrong however, it's very easy to get this car to oversteer if u set the rear rebound stiffer.

I really recommended getting the subframe bushing and the transmission bushing. The transmission bushing has a lot more Nvh however. The bushing pretty much eliminate any wheel hop when doing hard launches, which I really like.

The oil cooler, let's just say that last time I autocrossed I hit 119°c. With the oil cooler the highest I have reached was 91°c with pushing the car hard. The main advantage is that the oil temps will go back down with an oil cooler, without it the oil temps never recover after a run at autocross.

Depending on the gf I might show up tonight at M&HC with or without her for a little bit. I'll be coming in with my Accent though. No twin for me yet

I'll bring my helmet with me and maybe someone would be willing to let me try to sit in their car?

Considering the car had a lot more power, I was quite surprised that it was so planted, perfectly damped (good settings by Norm) and no additional harshness either from the stiffer springs and extra damping.

That's what a good coilover setup feels like, feels stockish/smooth in street driving and yet very well damped for the track.

On my future mods list.
