Yes Rick, although I had to buy new discs and ended up going to smaller diameter (264mm) discs to get a greater pad area.

Can't remember even half of what happened but here are some pics from the start and the end of the championship,the white pug that I'm close to is this years'championship winning car and has 330+bhp, I managed to post my fastest ever lap time around the Brands indy circuit in this race.

Whats the silver 1 Nick a new shell for the crossflow or are you hoping some of that quick FWD dust jumps across

Lea Woods' BTCC Vectra Jezz.

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

Does the pug really have 330 bhp Nick ,that is mightily impressive if it does,can you find out why they run such massive amounts of camber on the rear of the btcc cars ,i have allways wondered why

Apparently,but who knows Vectras are more neutral with hardly any understeer with the rear camber like that.

understeer whats that

: Vectras are more neutral with hardly any understeer with the rear camber like that.

that would be my guess,reduce understeer, on a control tyres you dont have many options you cant use a harder compund or narrower tyre, they need some way to reduce rear grip and shed leaods of camber would do it, and probably comes in handy when chucking it hard at kerbs

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

Plus it works the tyres harder and gets some heat in them. I've watched fwd touring cars pirouette cruising at 25mph just because of cold rear tyres.

That would put it right up there with the ultimate super touring engines in the 406s, is that really possible?
