My Clio at Rockingham.

[jon_r]

Had a good day on Saturday, found a lot out about the car as well. I've been sent a few pics (thanks everyone) so thought i'd put a few up online.

The morning started off wet so it was on the road wheels (white). When it warmed up over lunch I swapped to 888's (red wheels).

Cheers

Nice, some cracking shots there, was it more fun in the wet or the dry?

 

[jon_r]

A lot more fun in the dry. Rockingham is like an ice rink in the wet.

Good day then Jon? Know what to do next with the car? Any major issues from hurried perparation?

 

[djjonnibgood]

Car looks awesome! Hope you had a good day!

Was it jacked up in the last pic?

 

[jon_r]

Yes mate. Was right at the end of the day.

Mark, yes a couple of issues have surfaced. I have a slight idle issue sometimes and the front suspension is too low (and soft). I've currently got a pair of driveshafts notching the chassis slowly. The suspension is H&R stuff from Chris's car that was setup using standard topmounts. The AST solid mounts i run have reduced the overall height.

I'm not sure when the next run out is, so no great panic to do anything.

Ill look into it Mark but I fancied something a little more adventurous like Cadwell!

You look so bored tightening those wheel bolts. Lol.

I actually like the stripe too. Adding your age was a nice touch.

Anyone noticed dave's arse crack hanging out?

 

[Sam@NP]

Car looked great all day Jon, didn't realise you were at Rock otherwise I would have popped over and said hello.

 

[jon_r]

No worries Sam. Sure we'll meet again at some point throughout the year.

Good pics. Car looks suitably racy.

What circuit was being used?

Jeeez John didn't even know it was finished!

Looks superb! Bang for buck is so so hard to beat!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Great pics Jon, good to see your brain-ache the other week didn't put a damper on you, looks like a good day

What circuit was being used?

GT I think, though the layout was slightly changed at lunch (for the better). We had an additional couple of corners added in.

It was only finished the previous weekend mate, I was still working on it the day before the trackday. Truth be told there are a few things to sort out - i need to update the project thread. Hmm, cost...lets ignore that....

Cheers mate, yeah it was a cracking day.

That my friend is text book arse crack, I can confirm this car is uglier in the flesh than in real life, although in it's defence you cant see the f**k ugly stripe from inside, goes well though.

I'll jack it now, save me the effort, and see if I can sneak some pics of Vag into the clio section....
