nice mate,only thing i would say is the stearing and gearbox,they aint that tight looking,lots of play with the gearstick
what mods/bhp does it have?
v2scoobystiwagon 2 years ago
Engine mods/bhp - Catcams 708's, head work, remap, enclosed filter, magnex system + decat, milltek 4/2/1 manifold = 160bhp.
Suspension/handling - Bilstein sport dampers, -30mm H&R springs, torsion bar adj. 20mm, sparco upper + lower braces, F1 gsd3's, stripped interior.
As for the sloppy looking gearstick......it's french mate, they all come like that as standard! Steering seemed fine to me though, maybe a bit on the light side, but very precise.

Yeah, I could hear the limiter. If you were doing 72, I was probably nowhere near 75, more like high 60's I'd imagine. I'll try to post some video next time I'm there.

I was hitting 72mph through the speed trap at kames in my vts. Yeah, I also used 3rd briefly just before the hairpin which felt quicker. I was bouncing it of the limiter in 2nd in my first few runs lol.

Nice selection of cars you've owned there mate. Still see lotus sunbeams on a few of the trackdays i've done over the past couple of years. Awesome cars! I bet your bike would be seriously quick down the straight (ish) bit at kames. What was your trap speed in your corolla, just out of interest?
P883DJM 4 years ago
I think I'd be lucky to get outta 2nd gear on the bike (90 odd mph)
We didn't have any proper timing equipment....I was into 3rd gear in the Corolla for a few seconds till just by the kink.....probably 75mph or something. Second peaks out at 60mph.
I also used third to go round the bend before the hairpin (a short shift)....it felt faster than hanging onto second and changing up.
Do you know your max. speed in your Saxo?

That's wot I thought, despite it's speed (0-60 2.5 sec. 170mph) Cos it's a bit of a handful on twisties!!Would love to go round Kames on some of the cars I used to have (Phaeton 2.0, Chevette HSR, Sunbeam Lotus)
Cheers, Scott.

Should be interesting doing kames on a bike. I wouldn't have thought you'd go round quicker than on 4 wheels though, as the track seems too small and twisty imo. I hope i'm wrong though! Yeah, keep us posted. Cheers.

I heard when I was there , last Sunday 22 July, they may be letting bikes on soon. I've got an old ZX10, and thought about taking it round....hoping for a low 90's...I don't take chances on bikes.....I'll keep you posted....

Funnilly enough, it was a fireblade engined westie that was quickest at our event running a 92.??. A vts engined, 650kg, slick shod 160 bhp AX also managed a 92.?? My quickest time was 97.04.... 4th quickest overall.
P883DJM 4 years ago
Cheers. Fastest thing on our day out was a Fireblade engined "rage".....93 secs. best guess...nothing came close.
RREKGENIUS 4 years ago
Recently been round there, and 97.79 secs. seems very fast!
Was it standard?.....power...tyres...weight....
I was about 108 in a bog standard 90bhp corolla.
RREKGENIUS 4 years ago
Not standard. 160bhp, road tyres (Goodyear F1's), 850kg (est.) and uprated suspension/brakes. The circuit seemed to suit the car very well.
