Crx track (race really) car

[Merlin]

Yeah this is what I was planning on doing

Donington yesterday

A great mix of cars & the Crx did itself proud against a lot
of much more powerful cars especially down the Craner Curves.

My short gearing was an issue as 4th was slightly too tall going
into corners & 3rd had me hitting the limiter half way through.

There was a guy in a wheelchair with a standard h22 5th gen &
he drove the wheels off it! He used a hand control for braking
& accelerating.

Thanks Jon.

I Sorn'ed it this morning til next Spring as
no heater & tyres don't work well when too
cold.

[Merlin]

Awesome!! It sounds the nuts and looks like your were going well

[Drax]

[vtectom]

Thanks guys!

Believe it or not I was getting frustrated by a lack of front end grip. My A048's are now 7 years old & pretty much bald =-O

Been prepping for the new track day season.

Main job was replacing the rad which had a small leak. Turned out it was too tall & had been forced into place so had to replace bottom mounts. Sourced some decent 2nd hand silicone hoses fo.r £15 & the alloy rad from Luke's (Tegiwa) race winning Crx .



Also 'softened' some old tyres. A friend says it works



Went for a test drive & spotted this:



Also discovered that the car is riding quite low:






Added some 'go faster' mods:
