well, after a looooong break ( and due to COVID-19 ) I finally managed to install the new seats in Meggy.. Day and night difference. in terms of colours and interior matching in general.
Well, I guess we can call it a "mission completed" day, after my first ever Nordschleife lap in Meggy. The only thing I could say is: KW Clubsport/AST 5100 and a set of Nankang AR-1.
around 900 euro for both. This company did it... They are quite the professionals ... https://www.vilner.eu/
Thanks mate, for now i think this progress/build/story will stop here, since i don't really plan to use the car in a different way or upgrade further things. Right now it's on the perfect balance, before it starts to become unreliable. stock turbo, stock clutch... i would say are the "magic" words NOT to be changed... once you go that line... more money will start knocking at your door...
well, after the N-ring weekend , the itching for semi slicks became bigger.... soo...... Nankang AR-1 = 235/40 R18 ... I know they suck in rain and wet like my NS-2R, but in the dry they are superb.. and the price is... well one of the best on the market... I got them from this website... https://www.racebanden.nl/
For real, tyres are like colors, to each likes one different. In my case, don´t like the NS2R a bit. I bought the car with these I can´t wait the day to change! But you´re right, the price is very good.
Well, the AR1 are under the car after a looong and painful removal of the NS-2R, which were sticked to the rim in a ridiculous way... ( 2 years and some track days + many spirited drives ). I went on a corner I know very good, and tried the new tires lateral G grip compared to before. Same car, same driver, very similar time and weather conditions + same entry speed ( it's a light hairpin right corner which I was able to take with a lateral G of 0,5 - 0,7 when the NS-2R were new. Now.... 1G no problem what so ever. I think on a higher speed corner these tires can generate 1,2 -1,3 lateral G, which for this car and chassis is just enough ! .... the grip level of the AR1 is a different ball game...
I've totally missed the post of the Recaro's, that's a good improvement! Too bad I didn't see you on the Nordschleife, would have been fun to have a lap together. What's the iPhone app you've used for the speed-time measurement?
