So far so good with the 9J on front, no rubbing with road driving but track use will highlight any issues. I was very tempted with the matte Bronze colour but wasn't brave enough to buy them as the penalty for not liking them would be severe! Hope you manage to get out on track at some point this year, I have Thruxton booked for June so looking forward to seeing how it drives with the lighter rims
Indeed it was a bit of a pain! Heyho, fully sorted now, so hopefully many miles of enjoyment to look forward to now!
I was the same - when it was apart I very very nearly plumped for Schrick cams, but with the surrounding investigative work required, financially it made more sense to put new OE Cams and the Schrick DLC Follower in and just enjoy as is. I convinced myself I didn't need ~375bhp anyway, and adding another £800 or so into the mix for a proper map wasn't sensible :lol: one day!!
Good to hear no rubbing on the front with the 9J, but just FYI, my 8.5J fronts did start to push the bumper on track I think - but then I'm running quite conservative front camber (and generally quite conservative Geo) - another thing I need to sort out!
I'll let you know how I get on with booking tracktime this year - enjoy yours! I do enjoy an evening session - quite pleasant having a few hours popping on/off the track to suit yourself in the late afternoon sunshine
