Previously I've mentioned how my current coilovers were quite shot, some might recall when I got the semi slicks in the rear I went from a 195 to a 205 tyre, and as soon as I started driving the tyre just got munched. On the track it was deadly.. Spent a whole track day just raising the car which completely fkd the alignment. Issue was my coilovers I had them for 4yrs and tracked, and I bought it off someone who had them for 4yrs too and also tracked as well. They are only a good street level coilover. The car was squatting up to 50mm through turns or more, there was a 20mm gap in the end between arch and tyre, and it was still scrubbing half way down the sidewall..

Anyways, I've finally purchased some 'proper track' coilovers. My mate Steven from Yez Racing supply BC coilovers, they recently ran a 1.10.7 (.7 or .8?) in their ED which has a B16 along with the whole Honed Development catalouge.. Very good for the old B16 (put me under the pump) so I decided to go with the same application, the BC ER coilver.

This unit runs an external reservoir which allows more oil to be contained than a conventional coilover, to slow down oil temp increase (from the site..). We went with a custom spring rate setup, 14kg Front, 10kg Rear. They also have the usual adjustment ontop of the coilover, but also another adjustment on the bottom of the external reservoir which is for the rebound.

I've also finally picked up a Ecliptech Shift P1, I've wanted one of these for a long time however they are discontinued. One happened to pop up and I jumped on it straight away, I installed it but had trouble calibrating it to match the cars output for the RPM, so that is another task of many I'll be doing in the next 2 weeks. This is because I've booked in for another Wakefield day on the 16th June to hopefully piece it together with the new coilovers and FINALLY get that 1.09! Stay tuned!

The car is now 30 years old, here in NSW theres a 'historic rego' we can get for any car thats 30 years or older, pretty much way cheaper and can only drive 60 days a year (I barely do 10).. I went for the conditional as my car is fairly modified and the historic is meant to be 'stock'.. Actually don't mind the new plates
