Very budget track build
shannon-ob:
Good to see another track build, and one so close to me!
I have BC Coilovers on mine and they've been great.

Thanks man, appreciate that! Some big updates to come once all the parts get here...

So after hearing the new lockdown regulations. Booked in to Thruxton for 15 April with Trackdays, if anyone here is attending feel free to say hello. Bought a couple cubes of quantum 5w30 a while back, where as now wish I got a more motorsport orientated 5w40 oil... so will do a pre and post oil change just so use it up basically!
Bought a magnetic sump plug, never used them before but seems a popular thing to do:
Also got a can of liqui moly injection cleaner, used redex a few times and not noticed any difference but i hear people raving about this one so thought why not its under a 10er so.
If anyone here is a bit of a fuss pot with pressure guages like me then found an ideal solution, I had a sealey digital guage which was accurate but the quick release connector was a nightmare I found, so essentially I bought another guage to swap the connector a clip on chuck one instead.
Basically bought these two here https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/sealey-tyre-pressure-gauge-digital-with-swivel-head-quick-release-tst-pg98-seatst-pg98/ and https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/sealey-tyre-pressure-gauge-with-clip-on-chuck-tst-pg6-seatst-pg6/ and took the secure fitting clip on chuck from the latter and with a 14mm spanner and a pair of grips and a lot of force wound it onto the digital one so it was air tight. Now I have an accurate guage with a solid connection and a bleeder valve :)

I bought a Gold Plug sump plug for mine.
If it was me, I'd probably be selling that 5W/30 and buy 5W/40 for track.
Have you looked in to the BC or Relentless coilovers? Very good bang for buck!
