September - October 18
Nothing really happened in September, I took the Evo out of its shed and displayed it at Cleanfest Edinburgh.
Other than that I bought some parts:
Oz Superleggra’s with 888’r
radiator/antifreeze
Sabelt wheel
Momo boss
Carbon cruise panel
yanoo shifter bushes...
August 2018
Few more odds and sods done but nothing of great interest. Gearbox sounds like it’s straight cut still but continues to keep selecting all the gears with minimal drama. Engine is now on around 147k, writing this i should probably check the service history and see if it needs a belt...
June - July 2018
The last track day I had swapped from Ds2500’s to Ds1.111, these have taken some getting used to. The braking performance is unbelievable and I’ve been getting used to braking a lot later and hard than I had been previously. A swap to braided lines and Motul RBF600 has...
I couldn’t push on hard enough to have any, as I knew if it did there was now way I could catch it.
It just feels a bit odd. I can’t put my finger on what it is. I haven’t driven a dci or a 1.2 to know if it feels as it should.
I know load of lads that have gone without any PAS and live it. But it wasn’t for me at all. I was so much slower around Knockhill and it really knocked the confidence.
I’ve now swapped to EPAS and it’s loads better but I’m still not 100% happy with it. But I’ll keep at it until it suits me.
June 2018
In preparation for another 2 hour OPL track day in the middle of June ran by our good friend Mikey. I decided to swap to EPAS, I was very lucky that one of my work colleagues bought a 1:2 Clio to make into a budget stock car but lost interest. I quickly removed all the EPAS goods and...
May 2018
First track day booked for the year - Knockhill 2 hour OPL.
Booked the car in with Automek in East Kilbride to have the tracking adjusted a couple of days before. I would highly recommended Automek, rather than just adjusting the tracking they go over the vehicle to advise of any...
March - April 2018
Finally I’ll get to see if the car felt any different after all the changes. MOT required first of all. It passed. A few things to note. Mostly a PAS fluid leak and some rusty discs from sitting about. Nothing too concerning as I’d be swapping to new discs and pads for the...
January - Febuary 2018
January on holiday from work. We managed to get our friend Scott ‘Henny’ Henderson to weld in both our cages on the same day. A huge thank you to him for that. I’m lucky again to have plenty of space at work to do things like this. The evening before John and I removed...
I’ve been meaning to do one of these for a while now. Mostly to keep a track of all the changes and watch the car develop into a more track focused car.
I bought the car from my good friend @djwjohn in September 2017 with the intention of turning it into a well specced track focused car. I’ve...
Last track day of the year for me up at Knockhill. Got a few more pictures that I’ll upload later. Hoping @Djw John got a few good ones of me out on track.
