Jez @ H-Dev Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Just got back from a great trackday at Goodwood. It was pretty wet when I arrived, but soon cleared up. There was a pre-war Alfa there, on its maiden trip after a full restore (with twin super chargers) - sounded awesome. I took our 350 on track and it performed brilliantly. Couldn't ask for more. We're recently added a set of Superpro bushes and it's made the car handle really well. Heres a vid of me chasing an Ariel Atom - he was quicker in a straight line but I still managed to keep up I've only got basic mods on the car at the moment. Spec: Standard wheels Cheap Vredestein road tyres Standard GT interior - heavy!! Engine mods - making about 310bhp: H-Dev plenum spacer H-Dev de-cats H-Dev Uprev remap Suspension: Super-pro bushes all round Racing Logic coilovers Everything else standard I think the next set of mods will be to try and reduce weight - 350Zs are so heavy...

coldel Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Great vid Jez, think the Atom must have been twitching in the wet as they are usually super quick around the tracks. Nice driving though, the Zed seemed really smooth through the acceleration, must get that plenum/uprev done once I recover from my recent bout of money spending! Quote
Jez @ H-Dev Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 Cheers - got to love the little £8 key fob cameras It may look a bit damp in the vid, but the track was dry. The Atom should have been a ton quicker through the corners, but wasn't. Quote
Coppz Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Nice video! £8 well spent on the camera!! Thinking of lightening my zed, started with the wiper motor and blade and boot weight! Quote
Jez @ H-Dev Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 The boot weighs a ton doesn't it? I took the struts off just to see what it was like and its dead heavy. I'm thinking carbon boot + pastic rear window along with bucket seats. Hope fully that'll remove a bit of the weight. That combined with some RS-Rs or R888s and it should be flying Quote
Keyser Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Way to go Jez very smooth Thought I was going to watch you get your azz kicked. I Just ordered an £8 camera of ebay You going to make Castle Combe on the 7th mate? Quote
Jez @ H-Dev Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 Not sure - would love to come along, but I've already got a number of days already booked - trackdays are never cheap. I got through about £80 of fuel today, average 9.3mpg Quote
