Very interesting this. ??

I did my first bit of restoration. ? I went from this: To this: Welding was an utter pain, as I kept burning holes as the metal was too thin in some parts already, and because I couldn't grind the rust away on the inside, it kept splattering. So there was a lot of grinding and sanding...

So I bought a pair of these. Got the car on axle stands. Removed the fuel tank. In case anybodies wondering, it weighs 6,8 kg's without the fuel pump. Then I took off the sideskirts, and the horror appeared. ? This is what was luying in the front of one of the sideskirts...

Yesterday I was at Zandvoort. Unfortunately my buddy cancelled to join me with an honest reason saying that the trip was too long for a couple of passenger laps. I can respect that. With that in mind I decided to just go by myself, and focus on laptimes. So I took out the second seat, saving...

No, I disconnected it, because I kept looking at it mid-corner and on the end of a straight etc.

? I hope so.

I do need to sort out the fogging issue. This was the first time though, and it only fogged up in the first session.

Well, this two hour job has taken you a couple of months, so I'm positive I will see this car on track again, somewhere next year? ?

At least there's some progress.

The weather forecast for yesterday's trackday was okay(ish), meaning that we had nice weather all week, except a bit of rain in the morning on the saturday, and some droplets later in the afternoon. Turned out, the track was wet all day, with only in the last session some dry lines starting to...

I took out the unnecessary interior brackets, to safe a bit of weight, and to clean up the interior a bit. Good for just under 1 kg at 940 grams. Total savings go to 193,2 kg's. While vacuuming the interior, I picked up a lot of debries inbetween the sills. Turned out that the sills were...

Okay, this will be a totally different car after the conversion indeed. ?

For the non Toyota owners, what's the difference between 1ZZ, and 2ZZ?

I had another trackday last wednesday, and I was very excited for this one, since it has been quite a while since the last one. And also, because I was very curious about the new tyres and suspension setup. We had a nice group of people there. I brought my neighbour, and met up with...

Just get a day job.

Does the splitter make such a difference, that you can tell on the cornering speeds on your laptimer? Or is the difference based on how the car feels? I'm interested to hear a bit more on this.

I pushed the like button.

Tempted to push the like button, but not untill you tell what they are, and where you can buy them.

Crazy aero on a hillclimb Clio

The new combo. Not missing the BMW one bit. The rear of the Audi is a bit high here, as I have the nosewheel on the ground to get some angle in the trailer.
