All ready for the weekend, The Clio got the rest of the stickers applied and corner weighted today, now just the 200 mile trip to Oulton tomorrow, Then its definitely gonna happen, I'm going racing baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No going back now!

That's food for thought James, Although its my first time there I still need to know whats the "norm" and to have something to work to, While testing at snetterton the car felt good and lap times were consistant with other comparable classes on a race day, However, the car didn't feel...

I've watched this a couple of times and have a couple of genuine question, The driver is obviously a good driver and know his car/track, and the following queries do not distract from this. Is he quick or is it just that the car is lively and a handful? The reason I ask is my 205 with...

I'm waiting too!, lol I hope he hasn't gone over to my page, no one looks there!

Yes mate, just the afternoon. When James goes for lunch and not looking I'll be un bolting your cup setup and bolting to mine, hoping he won't notice for the afternoon session, lol

Anyone use "water wetter"? One of my old customers had a TVY Cerbera 500 and couldn't keep the thing cool, 2 pints of that stuff and it dropped the engine temp by 10 degrees, Apparently its has much better heat soak capabilities that water. Your a naughty boy Tony, put it back in,

Whoops! there I go stirring the porridge again!

I say put your money where your mouth is!

Cant believe Ive missed this thread Russ, Great Build mate. I'm only jumping on the tail end of this so exuse the shortness of my post, 100 degrees isn't that hot for a modern engine Russ, but the removal of your thermostat is going to do more damage to the engine than 120 degrees, As the...

Alright George, Thanks The interior was done in 2k paint with spray gun, Loom covers and P clips are from a place called car builder solution, They do all kinds of stuff for kit cars, Dave

Little and large all set for the long trip upto Oulton Park on Friday morning, The car is with Mumbray Motorsports on Thursday for final checks and geo, Testing on the Friday then race on Saturday [IMG] Look forward to seeing you all there at my first race in the French Trophy...

Send me the invoice, lol

I've just seen the proposed Mallory track layout and it claims it will reduce noise levels! How? Unless they remove the old hairpin and don't go up that far north. My mind boggles with these guys,

Ok, If we are clarifying things then I should too as it sounds as if I'm against hub mods, Which I'm not,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I joined this series because of the Club feel and the freedom to build your car as you wish, Running in stockhatch years ago was a ball ache due to restrictions, I wanted...

Usually I light the fuse and run but I'll be hanging around for this one! In my opinion the regs should be re written to state that one off alloy hubs are prohibited,,, However, The price of having a hub made would out weigh the will to win!

My car has no logbook,,, I nicked it! I'll try not to get in your way when you lap me!

What have I started, Swapping "pinks" Take them off and run no hubs, you'd still beat a lot of people, lol

No mate, deffo Class A, Surprised me actually and I quote "Hubs/uprights to be of original design, mounting points must be original, NOTE, Invitation class free" Technically, James is keeping the pick up points but adding material between these points, I'm sure its only in there to...

What!!!!!!!! Why not fella? You cant just feck off when Ive just started, lol

The kit looks good James, But ever the sceptical me! Have you read the new regs for next year regarding hubs and mounting points? May be worth having a chat with Steve about changing the wording?

They lap snetterton quicker than the touring cars Jay

1 hour 57 minute lap times for me, lol

My Entry has been sent off for Oulton Park on the 28th, so no going back now, I'll have a couple of really good mates with me that have been involved in race car preparation for some years to help me on the day. The Wife and kids are staying at home as its a 5 hour trip with the trailer, Not...

I know its more expensive but I'm sure you would get a lot more out of booking the Oulton test day James, I'll be doing the afternoon session on the Friday, also sent my entry for the race, Hopefully talk to you this time, lol

your not laying a carpet fella, lol I bought 12 meters thinking it would be enough and ran out with the roof left to do, So I would say order 15 meters, it comes wide enough for the door and quarter drops.

No Chance, I wasn't going to waste good stuff on a race car! got my stuff from here http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/vehiclewrappingvws1.asp Very well priced

Yeah, every panel was done in one piece, The bumpers were actually quite easy, The blue was meant to be darker and didn't like it at first, but as its all come together Ive grown to it

Bit more progress today and now only the roof to do, Sponsor decals have been measured and ordered, should be here by the end of the week.

Thanks Chaps, Order of the day today was the front bumper, A little daunting but lets just crack on with it!

Ok, perhaps I'm being a bit keen then as my boy is 4, Every day he asks, "Daddy can we go karting, the ones the big boys race" All the best with your boy mate and just make sure he doesn't get quicker than you!
