H Hurry up n get back up to the track....:). Cars looking good mate, don't part with it until you've had it out!!

the spin an a damp day is the rear anti roll bar on hard mate. in the wet we undo it :smile: all good fun though and progress is looking good :up:

More brake upgrades arrived today..... Looks like weather is going to be crap for Friday so I'll spend the weekend hopefully fitting these and the ducts :)

They are the CM Composite ones mate. They do actually look quite good quality. the satin black look helps the as well. I'll be giving it a good bit of thought before I install them (if I do) as I hade cutting bits of the Clio up, even though its track its still got to be right

LOL Andy. to be fair, the fogs removed seem to work fine. I had no issues in 3 years with discs warping when I ran Ferodo & CL RC6 pads, the RC8's just seem to be too harsh. It'll be the pads wearing the discs quicker, they're sintered (metallic based) and are quite harsh on discs so im not...

Well a little update today........... found one photo of it on track, still not a 100% convinced by the track decals...... in no rush right now to remove them though! Anyway......... brake discs do seem to be warped, so new ones on order for delivery tomorrow. Opted to go for the HC...

Can't beat a Trophy........:wink: Seriously though, they look great mate, just need to be about 30-40mm lower than they leave the factory!

Cheers mate. Yeah I think that's the issue too. Next day is an open pit so I may have better luck bedding them in. Strange thing is they did 2 days at the end of last year with no issue so id have hoped that they were ready for punishment this year! At least they are cheap! :)

Lol, that's ok but we were catching the back markers 4 laps in.... Would think similar issues in group 1:monkey:

A little Track day update...... (KNOCKHILL 08.05.2016) Everyone was up early yesterday and of course in true knockhill fashion, despite it being dry everywhere else it rained for the first hour!! Only good thing was it only dampened the first session and the dry line appeared and within...

Cheers mate, it was good when we got going. Iv just cancelled the 22nd sessions day though as it was overly busy yesterday...... Booked for the 11th June open day (9 to 1) instead as its a good bit quieter and we can start to chase some times ;) Hope to catch up with you again soon

Will be trying for groups 1 & 4 or 2 & 5 as usual mate, group 6 is usually Ford only. You should be in group 2, your no longer a road car!! ;)

i'll be there mate, i'm booked in for 2 sessions so i'm hoping the weather stays dry 🙈

Coming on well mate..... Next Sunday is calling you!!!! :up:

Congrats mate........ now as you'll be busy come October , i'll make you a ludicrously low offer to take your safe map nightmare of your hands!! lol, seriously all the best :up:

Great modification, you wont regret it :)

Also, after seeing how pretty Arran's looked with it's interior paint job, I attacked the boot floor with a rattle can, must admit I like how even and tidy it is, its just a pitty I cant get everything stripped out, masked up, painted n back in within a week! Possibly needs to be a darker in...

Well a complete boredom update this time.... Spent the weekend before last helping the 3 mates with their first round of SLS and despite my thoughts that trackdays would be more fun, I kinda liked it. So curiosity getting the better of me I got some stickers to see how the Trophy would looks...

Yeah he inspired me too, had a spare have hour today so did this (see below) but then I lost enthusiasm.... If I have time to take everything out between track days I may finish it... Or wost (best case) deliver mine down to Arran's mate over the winter !!

very pretty............ just get him to do the outside the same colour mate :up:

Very tidy looking Andy, nothing wrong with having a clean and presentable track toy :up: Watching with interest mate:smile:

Hope this helps....

It does ok on track mate, gives a few a shock to be fair ;) Thanks for the kind comments

Cheers mate, a work in progress that's shaping up :). Took it for a spin last night, feels good so lets hope she holds up this year getting driven in anger !!

Spent all day between Neil / Fraser & Stu in the SLS mate so didn't really have the time. weather was a mixed bag and the sessions did become a little empty as the day went on so there would have been plenty of room :up:

Thanks mate. I have a in car kill switch, that needs to be wired in. But to stop battery drain whilst not in use I needed a separate one under the bonnet as i needed to be able to lock the car, them kill the battery to stop drain, all works well as I lock car with remote, kill power and then...

Yeah charges fine mate, takes no time to get it fully charged from flat.....

Cheers mate. Yeah the wheel is perfect, no issues with it at all.... I was actually going to change it over in the winter break to the Sabalt RS one as well, just to match the seats and the RS theme but I do like the look of this one so stuck with it :)

A few final tweaks and a bit of maintenance today: wasn't too keen on the foot plates I had bought, so I had some aluminium checker plate shaped and installed it today to give me a flat floor, much more comfortable! battery isolator finally arrived, so I can kill the power under the...

You might have given that manifold a clean or something it looks a little dull!!!! :tonguewink: Lol, looks stunning mate, hope all goes well
