Set the camber to 2° :
Now, I don’t know what to do : Quaife ? M66 ? Rollcage ? Anti-sway bar ? …

That's true !!
I can keep some Megane RS, Lotus Elise, Exige, Porsche 964 Carrera 4, ... behind me on track. (Depends on driver)

Great mods, welcome to the forum. If you're going to keep it as a track car then I'd go for a full cage, that's going to add a lot of stiffness to the shell (it'll also keep you in one piece if you roll it). Are you still runing stock drop links?
Post 643398 by jamesy12345 on 2013-09-12 04:11:54
Bonjour!
Nice car, I like the Ohlins adjustable dampers at the front there.....I've seen those somewhere before - on Priscilla, Jan Woth's project.
:welcome:

Yes a full cage would be nice !! The best mod with the Quaife I think.
I use the D2 Racing drop links that comes with the coilovers. Why this question ?
Post 644070 by Marsouille on 2013-09-14 09:52:04
That's not a full cage but ...
... move to 13 millimeters up with 1 Ton of pressure under the front left wheel. Stiff enough ?
Post 644071 by p fandango on 2013-09-14 09:56:48
if your going that far with a cage, why not just do a full one your only really missing the roof & windscreen section
Post 644076 by hybriduno on 2013-09-14 10:06:50

To avoid drilling the dashboard !! But I keep the possibility to add the roof and windscreen sections later (or maybe at the same time if I change my mind about the difficulty of passing through the dashboard).

I found two hours to put the battery in the trunk.
Now I can do the air pipe through the headlight.
I also need to change the clutch and put a new differential but I hesitate to order the Quaife ... I don't no if I keep the M56 or if I change for the M66.

Great looking car, I could do with one of those IPD rear anti roll (sway) bars, to make the rear end a bit livelier, along with a rear strut brace it would transform the handling.

The IPD rear sway bar is only 2mm thicker than the standard C70 one.
It`s a better upgrade for a 850/V70 :)

this is the best way to get good results.

Bought some new parts : S60R exhaust manifold, Sparco seats, 16T7 turbo, MSD coil, …
Try to gain some weight :
Put D2 Racing coilovers and MPRE short shifter (better than snabb I think) :
Unfortunately there is no camber with these coilovers despite the camber plates …
New OBX exhaust “output?” :
do88.se intercooler and new injectors :
Oil catch tank :
Exhaust catalytic converter :
Lower :
Dyno :
Big brakes and Pegasus Replica :
Shock absorber spacer :
Light door panel :
Aluminium control arms with Powerflex bush :
without this :
I think I have a solution but if someone have an idea ...
