So it’s been sunny ever since Donnington! Sod’s law I guess. Took the opertunity to decamp all the tools etc out of the clio and give it some love. It was filthy! I cleaned it on the trailer. It’s taken 8 months to make the operation of getting it out of the garage and back in easy. It works...

I’m not going to lie, I completely ripped off the graphics of your old blue car?! I asked for something similar and my mate literally did it spot for spot! Sorry I think I asked you when it was up for sale where you got the graphics from via the eBay add for the car. Also I think I chatted to...

Amazingly yes he was. Fustraited as it was the slowest crash in history. It literally tipped on its side when it dug into the gravel. No scratches but a crease in the rear quarter and the mirror was knocked off. Lots of stones stuck between the tyre bead and the alloys. Once these were all...

Official photos are in. Still happy reflecting what was a challenging day. I did film it but the footage isn't great as the road has reflected any form of light so you cant see where I'm going. Shame As we're all Renault fans I'd thought a couple of photo of my mates 197 would be...

Midlife Crises.............. well that’s what the Mrs said when she saw it

After an 8 month layoff. New brakes, new cambelt, new wheels/tyres, becoming a trailer queen from a road car, various other changes. The clio went on it first track day. It didn’t stop raining all day and the little clio performed faultlessly!! Well happy with the changes but would like to try...

Sorry I can’t make it now. Things conspired against me this morning. Best of luck to everyone

Gone and put a deadline on the Clio as it’s dragging on this year. Nicest summer ever and the car hasn’t gone out once? Coming up... Rolling road 6th October Donnington trackday 15th Oct Car is now on the trailer properly. I moved everything out of the garage so I can just back it in now and...

I bought the trailer back in February and finally it made it to my house! Cut to the chase, the car is on the trailer and the both of them are in the garage, result! But it wasn’t easy. First up I jet washed the trailer, mounted the number plate perminantly and fitted some stands to it. Then...

So here’s a strange look. Function over form! Painted the new wheels hamerite silver as per normal. I’m right on the width limit for the trailer. If needs be i’ll make another one for the other side but I can’t delay it anymore, i’m getting the trailer back home tomorrow. Busy weekend ahead as...

CMcomposites fibreglass replica. Problem goes away! ?

I’ve never heard this before, what’s the reason for this? OP - spring rates i’d go for

Busy day today changing fluids and making sure the exhaust won’t fall off. I changed the below brackets as the old ones were all knackered. Cost over £40 for the brackets! Then an oil change. Couldn’t believe how black it was. After lots of research I used the original Elf oil. Turns out you...

Hello I want to install a battery switch to the scuttle panel. Firstly as the car is no longer road legal so it’s a another step in it becoming a race car and secondly because when I go to use it it often has a flat battery as it doesn’t move much anymore. I had one when I had my trusty TVR...

Times moving on fast but still haven’t had the car out. Mainly because i’m still trying to adapt some wheels to get it on the trailer. But we’re close. Nearly there, the car is to wide at the front and it’s hard to reduce it due to the brembos. Basically i’ve had to make a bespoke wheel for...

Deposit payed. Cheers for sorting this out

It sold a few weeks ago. It had 132,000 btw

I had 1 of 50 RHD e36 M3 GTs. Used it two times on track and then it spun a shell on one of the big ends. Sat in my garage for years as I saved up to get it fixed. This never happened as we moved house, got married etc. Ended up breaking it and selling the shell for £300. Logged on eBay at the...

Can be done in different colours. It’s saved on computer

Mate made it but he does it for a living. He lives in Bedford but fitted mine near Reading. This design is loaded up now but he could do other designs.

Same car. First one did myself with stickers off of eBay. Second one printed professionally. Extra cost was grading two colour yellow/Anthracite.

Also saw this on Insta but didn’t want to ‘like’ a photo of it. Gutted for you. I think we’ve had our cars about the same amount of time and know how much time, effort and money i’ve spent to get mine to half the standard of your car. Hope it’s superficial?! Good luck with getting back on track.

Here’s a photo of my a/c delete with the same new design bracket. I do have more room but I don’t have power steering delete. I don’t know if that makes a difference? Also I was actually sent the wrong belt with my kit. It was to shorr as it was the one for power steering delete. Make sure...

Am I right in thinking you’ve made your car into a track car and used it once in torrential rain at donnington? If so get it back on track, several times! Hold off spending more on it and just use it. Then you’ll have the desire to use it more as you’ll want to drive it faster/better than the...

Yes i’d Be up for it.

Hi This X5 is now up for £10950ono Cheers

Having done it (but not spun) i’d say your were to close to the edge and the rear wheel locked on the gravel/dirt. You can see the definition of the edge of the track/grass changes (comes in) just as the spin starts.

Just done this and it’s been a pain in the arse! In the end I had to have 7mm removed from the callipers and run a 20mm spacer. The bit I can’t remember is what offset the wheels are?! It’s so tight it’s untrue. Any wheel weights have to be at the back of the wheel or else they hit the calliper.
