Your car looks fantastic where did you get it setup?

turbo911 - 15/3/12 at 03:54 PM

Well thanks set up at a motor sport kind of set up garage in kidderminster west midlands kev the owner really knows his stuff !!!

Looks good.

What did it cost? Look forward to hearing how much better it is once on track.

1)Is that a MAC 1?
2)What are the black things either side of the number plate?
3)It will be interesting to see how much of a change it was before and after set up. Did you do much track drivinf before?
4)How far out was your car?


So many questions!!

Hi cost is circa £250 he uses top knotch, kit not laser alignment but the set up works with cameras takes about half a day to do complete he is a absolute perfectionist had it set up a few times now only this time more track focused !!!!!

Hi yeah a mac1 zx powered, you having me on about the black things?? that's the twin exhaust pipes off a r1 sounds just like a bike and comes in at 93db ideal for track work!!, yes do a few track days, we have changed a lot, springs, wheel bearings ect so can,t really comment how far out it was !!!! Cheers for the comments ....

daniel mason - 15/3/12 at 06:21 PM

turbo911 - 15/3/12 at 09:46 PM

Yeah that's correct wish I could brag that I built it as its stunning !!!!!

loggyboy - 15/3/12 at 10:05 PM

Any pics of the exhaust routing? Big Rich's photo album doesnt reveal much.

turbo911 - 15/3/12 at 10:13 PM

I will have to look to see what pics I have the exhaust is a very good design !!!

loggyboy - 15/3/12 at 10:24 PM

I saw one showing the cans and headshield withing the rear end, but im keen to see the pipe routes front to rear.

This is a lovely car!

It's the first ever Mac I sat in and the inspiration for building the Mac Worx I have now!

The exhaust runs along the length of the tunnel below the propshaft, the Freelander rear diff is smaller than the Sierra diff so allows a little space to squeeze the exhaust pipe through.

This must be the photo you have already seen

I love that you swapped out the wheels for a set of legs, let me know how it turns out

loggyboy - 16/3/12 at 03:58 PM

Thanks for those! Freelander diff certainly does take up less room!

turbo911 - 16/3/12 at 04:11 PM

Cheers sausage arm

Glad to hear your enjoying the car and its getting the use and attention it deserves. Keep us informed of the improvements the set up makes etc. ATB bigrich

turbo911 - 16/3/12 at 08:59 PM

Thanks bigrich changed or upgraded a few things great build !!! It's running and driving perfect!!!!!

andyfiggy2002 - 17/3/12 at 01:34 AM

ingenious, no room on a westfield as the freelander diff & propshaft sit lower down & closer to the floor than yours

First trackday yesterday with new settings at oulton park nice sunny day car felt well planted took a while to sort tyre pressures and temperatures best lap time 1 min 57 sec not sure how this fairs up ?? had some good fun with the gennetta cars, xbows, etc real good day !!!!!!

fullpint - 21/3/12 at 05:46 PM

93db Do you know who done the work on routing/fabricating the exhaust..

turbo911 - 21/3/12 at 06:23 PM

Yes I believe it was Colin & mark from mac1 not sure if I mentioned but runs standard r1 cans if I drove past you with your eyes closed you would swear its a bike

fullpint - 21/3/12 at 07:02 PM

So does mine but its just a little tooooooo loud.. I may just stick with what Ive got and buy another BEC that is less than 95db and then I can go on track..
Did you have a video camera going whilst doing your track day?

turbo911 - 21/3/12 at 07:35 PM

Yeah a few sessions on film trying to post them at the mo !!!
