JP's 220+bhp NA 16v Mango Westcoast - 2015 updates!

you dont need to be spending crazy dosh to get decent grunt out of it.

Youve got the pistons, just go for a wilder cam and remap init.

200BHP NA is good but wont keep up with alot if you go on some of the days I have people organising. They have GT3 RS's and CGTs and know how to use them, which is why im not booking up sillystone with them haha

Silverstone is definitely a high power circuit, but tbh if i can get 200+bhp, that will give me 250bhp per ton, theres not that many cars knocking around with that sort of power on your normal run of the mill track day. So should be more than enough for my capabilities as a driver.

Danny - sounds like a plan mate!

Olly - haha, was a cracking day. Cant wait for Donnington!

BHP per tonne doesnt really matter too much when you are not doing low speed corners. A 3 tonne car with 600bhp will probably have sooo much more torque to just piss on us with ease on every circuit where the corners flow at high speed.

Cadwells tight though, perfect for hatches.

Not necessarily as its all relevent to weight again, if my car has 150lb ft of torque for example, but only weights 825kgs, that means something that weights 2 ton will need over 350lb ft of torque to have the equivalent torque, if that makes sense. Plus especially around tight circuits our little hatches can get on the power so much earlier in the corner it wont matter anyway.

Tbh theres only 3 or 4 high speed circuits in the UK, where as tight circuits your looking at 20-30 easily
