MJ-12 & Friends Do Oulton

A while back now, the Unit200 S2000 got its first track outing at Oulton Park UK. A wide selection of cars made the day from AWD Imprezas and Evolutions, RWD Marcos GT cars to FWD hatches.




The conditions were damp to begin with but throughout the day a nice, definitive dry line appeared.

The S2000 faired well in the damp conditions, with the back stepping out at speed, but the well balanced chassis giving plenty of warning and time for smooth correction; contrary to the usual internet rumour-mill tales
of being snappy.




In the dry the grip was plentiful and the sharp steering made the track a pleasure to drive on.

The day did highlight the issue of brake fade in the S2000 which suffered from overheating brakes quite quickly, despite the cool temperatures. Upgrades and development is forthcoming.

MJ-12: Productivity

This weekend's been a productive one. Firstly the Unit200 Honda AP2 S2000 had it's BC Racing coilover suspension delivered, and on it went.

The S2000 is an absolute joy to work on in this area. The suspension removal is fantastically simple and the BC Racing stuff was just as easy to take it's place. This was the most straight forward suspension change i've ever been party to.

The car has now undergone a drop in ride height and a rise in firmness. The drop is not excessive; there is PLENTY left in them to wind down, however it is not practical to run the car - which is used every day that low - nor is it ideal for performance. So things have been kept sensible.




A full geometry check will take place shortly and should turn the S2000 into perfection in the corners.

Already, initial testing shows the ride to be more than tolerable and the cars eagerness to switch direction is keen. Perfect for the windy roads the car is used on.




Things for the Unit731 Vrs are picking up. A Cupra-R splitter was added and Weitec coilovers ordered. This should bring the ride height down a little and seriously sort out the handling somewhat.




Both cars are looking towards nitrous in the near future.

Unit 731: Emerald Eagle

MJ-12 Traffic Control Vehicle.

Unit 200 Golf: Sold!

The Unit 200 Golf, has now been sold.



A truly fantastic car, especially good for fuelling concerns, but still like a nice looking car that you're able to give a bootful when the mood takes you.

An exercise in understated useability.
