And Lucy lemans

I have to confess I'm a bit bloody useless at this, I keep saying I will and then don't

theres always this year at Combe Kriss

Last year on track there was me,dean,ade,mike and kitsune doing the mi16's proudly!

I've gotta throw caution to the wind and do it. It's probably no harder on the car than the average trip I do down to devon anyway lol

Just have one 20 minute session and see how you get on.Once the track bug has bitten you wont be able to resist more track action

how does your 4bie compare to the 2wd on track???

Its great round the bends and through the chicanes though initial pull through the gears is slower than a 2wd.I would like a bit of extra power to help me out the bends but i can make do as you cant beat the handling.I just gotta get used to a 2wd again now as having the 4bie for so long has made me a tad cocky

Never been on the track, done the prescot hill climb but thats nothing compared with the real thing. may be this year some time

nice to see 405's getting some track time, so sick of seeing 205's LOL!

Aint we all....Last year on track was me,dean,ade,fast mike and kitsune which was great.Fingers crossed Neal will soon have his track prepared 405 ready.

I did a bit at the french car show last year

Hiya Phil...

Have you finished your 405 project yet?

Just sold my pair of 205's so looking for something fun to keep me occupied All the cars ive had have been on track at some point, out of the lot my Teg was probably the most fun.

Looking for a decent 405 for a change, if i get one ill definitley be joining you out on track

Rob

Fsat Mike was selling his 4bie ..a red p1.Try pming him on here if interested

I've had mine out once on a wet and rainy track day... It's a lot of fun. Need to get the car back to good running condition before that happens again.

Yeah, its all done now, I should be at the rollers next week just for a final bit of ign map tweeking. its rapid. Just working on the suspension now. come and have a look when ever ya in my neck of the woods.....

Yea will do....you will have to bring it along to a west mids psooc meet sometime

I've run my Mi16x4 in two supersprints recently, as my 205 track car is having a rebuild. It was completely stock (except ECU), other than baffled sump, C5 wheels and Yoko A32R's. The grip is absolutely staggering and you can point it ANYWHERE you want. At the limit, you can make the back step out but it's so easy to catch it again. I've even had the rear diff lock up exiting a corner! You really need to keep it on the ball and the extra few hundred RPM limit helps to some degree. It would be a lot nicer with the closer ratios of the 205 GTi box. I might find one and wreck it just for the gearbox!

The 205 (8V and 16V) track car brigade were doing around 1:27, my best was 1:33.

Here's a pic. of a local Super Tourer (circe late '90's).

Great idea!

Haha thought that would amuse Kris !

Bulk head is rather shiny and smooth? Heat Sheilding? Surley not

What do you front wheel drive people do about the rear suspension?

Not alot apart from lowering it and fitting better shocks.

Lowering a 405 is bad idea. Oh it looks better for sure but I don't reckon it helps the handling enough to justify putting up with all the bumpy uk roads and I find my exhaust hits speed bumps.

Do you mean the rear? Or even the front?

Me confused . We talking exhaust pipes?

Im fairly sure he is referring to lowering in general. There is hardly point lowering one end and then not doing the other, that will just upset the natural balance of the car.

Yeah it's gotta be done evenly, which can be a bitch to get right. Course not such a problem on the 4x4

amen

Yes, I was referring to lowering. Adjusting the torsion bars is a b*tch isn't it?

Those that have done it a few times would say no to that question but I think the problem is that they all need overhauling.

This is my 405 from two diffrent events in spring last year.
First is a "porche" event private track day.

(my car is only seen on first picture.)
The other photos is from the fast group, i chose to drive in the "slow" with the TVR´s and the M5 and some older 911.
The Green TVR in the bottom of page and I had some really nice fights om the track, but he was too fast in the straights for me too keep up for longer periods..

2004 PSC trackday
At bottom of this page is some pictures of the car before I ran on 15", then I had 17" Dunlop slicks

Some really good shots there, but can I have my front and rear bumpeers back please

Im not gonna spend either money or time on something that doesn't make the car go faster or that is necessary by other practical reasons..

Thats just pointless

What are the specs on your car Eric?

Ok calm down I was just having a joke.

yep some nice pic and again got any specs?

Umm, sheep, light, fast?
xu9j4, almost original ( a bit ported).
Lighten, see attachment Click to view attachment The sunroof is replaced with a thin glassfibre plate.
AVO GTZ-chassi kit
-1° Camber in front (too little, made by dremel)
Bridgestone RE540S 215/50-15
Steelspun brakelines
Performace Friction PFC97 brakepads in front.
Standard roadpads in rear
Delphi Lookhead racing brake fluid




I Know you was joking, but for information about why the bumbers look like they do, it was a pretty good opportunity to answer than comment even though it wasn't a question

Some nice 3 wheeled action shots there

Eric...does the car still have original glass? The next thing on the list for our track beast is to poly carb the windows,fairly pricey but the less weight the better,also plan on welding sunroof and back doors to make a 3 door

Thats a tidy spec How do you find the bridgestones?

Vicki, yes its still original glass, with working electrical
Changing to PC is in mind, I talked to a dealer about prices during the winter but I newer felt the price to be as good as i want it.

The sunroof is very good to throw away, alot of weight in the total wrong area.

If i get the time I will make a new bonnet in glassfiber during summer. (it wont look good, but that really dont matter to me (unpainted of course, for that real anti-bling look)

In sweden the agent for Bridgestone is "Dahlbäck Racing"
Next time i change it will be Kumho V70A Medium (won them in a PSC lottery in 2004)
If I would buy new R-tyres i would just get those who were the cheapest, usually Toyo in sweden)

What looks better on track a 205 or this

Nuff said

Deffinitly the T16.

Clearly seeing the soft suspension of the 405

T16? what T16?

Here's a pic of the Mi at Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia.

It's getting an engine upgrade atm [brought on by a(nother) bottom end failure].

I hope to be back trackside again in a few months.Click to view attachment

very nice jeff, looks immaculate

are they 406 wheels on it?

Thanks franco,

Yes, they're 406 V6 rims 15 X 6 1/2" as fitted to Aust spec 406's (SV).

Could do with something lighter 'tho.

Here's another day at Sandown.

Lovely Jeff.
What's that hanging out the bonnet though?

would say that's a bonnet latch strap, requirement under australian CAMS regulations (its our official motorsport governing body)

Took Gerty out at Llandow on Saturday,only managed about 12 laps before the gear linkage fell off,on the way home the heater matrix packed up as did the altenator...it was only a 100 mile drive home but boy did it take forever esp as it was like a sauna in the car.

Sound's like a typical Mi16.. Well Mine atleast.
