    Hillclimbing an EK9.

    Some pics of second car taken this morning, I had planned to strip it and turn it into a rally car but I just can't bring myself to do it having used it for a while. So I am selling this one and stripping my other one. This one is standard apart from the wheel nuts, carbon spoiler and uprated...

    Hillclimbing an EK9.

    I settled for Kumho Ecsta V700/V70 in Super soft on the rear and Medium on the front. Pretty impressed if I'm honest, for road tyres they do work very well straight out of the blocks. If I were to do longer events then harder compounds would be a must though. Very progressive feel and good...

    45 and I love the little thing, gotta say I had a few looks from the youngsters at the first race meeting I did with it as if to say really?? They soon changed their tune when the old boy gave them a whoopin! Ha ha, great fun and an awesome package the EK9. I'm back in my trusty old Escorts...

    Hillclimbing an EK9.

    Thanks Ray, it's just the front really. I need to dial in 1/2 degree of Neg camber to get the tyres working at 100%. the rears are working great as they are. It seems with the standard rear geometry that as you lower so you gain a little neg. Yes I was very pleased to do so well, I have been...

    What tyre sizes are you running on 15 inch wheels?

    I have been using 195/50/15 Kumho Ecsta V700's all year on both road and for Hillclimbs and have been really impressed. I started with super soft front and rear but the fronts were too soft for the dry.I use Medium now on the front for dry and Super soft on the rear. If heading for a track I...
