My B20B ek9 build up story


The brakes are absolutely mental especially when teamed up with the Yoko semi slicks. It is like hitting a brick wall. On track i really started pushing hard, so hard i was actually quicker than a 55 plate caged, tweaked Scubie. I did about 4 really aggressive lap's on the brakes, still never found the limit but my pants were getting close to it ;-). Came straight into the pits and not even a sniff of cooked brakes.
The best way i can describe is the difference from the oem upgrade to the SPOON's is then the same difference from the SPOON's to the WILWOOD's.

Here are some more pics of the brake upgrade and the HEL lines.

I believe the saxo was a 2.0l 16v, all stripped out and about 700kg

what gear set you have ?

It is standard i think. At 4k rpm it is doing 70mph on the gps.

When you change your clutch or do something to your transmission, check out the gears, I'm pretty sure you have a close gear ratio.

The sound you car makes when you shift from 2nd to 3rd gear is the typical sound of a gear box with a close gear setup!!

lucky you!
 
Oh these were the last couple of bits i did before the above track day.

1. Fitted a Carbon JIC front strut brace.

2. Fitted a much needed FIA approved drivers 5 point harness.

Get yourself a harness bar fitted, or the tails mounted somewhere higher. reduce the risk of spinal compression in an accident

Is it ok to fit them like i had for Japfest?
Would it be poss to get a bolt on one to fit onto the existing rear roll bars?

Ideally you want to be running either horizontal from the shoulder-line or at a max of 20 degrees below the horizontal.
Higher and the risk is the belt cutting into the neck. Lower and the risk is spinal compression as the force in the accident wants to make a straight line of the harness. if it's below the shoulders it will push you down into the seat, above it will slide up the neck.

Have a look here under the Anchorage Locations and Geometries, it explains what happens in a frontal impact and what forces are put on the body.
