So, the track day. Up at 5:30 and out for 6:15am to be up at Teeside before briefing at 8am. As the street was quiet, I took a quick pic of my two cars together for perhaps the first time I think Anyway, got through the briefing etc and held off going on track for 30minutes or so. Let...

I was on track today, the car went really well, but unfortunately developed a problem early on forcing retirement, but I'll get to that. First off, I headed to Grinspeed on Friday to get my geometry done. Stevie had a certain aura about him that I've not met many blokes with, and he had my...

Just kidding :lol: no need to see that same process 4 times! The finished result: Tyres on and I was ready to go! It was a productive evening to say the least. Bad news though unfortunately. Whilst the wheels were getting done I got under the car to see if I could figure out...

Okay time for a proper update. Federal RSRs now fitted and a change of colour on the wheels :) Will just let the pictures do the talking! Big thanks to my mate Will who did a full drive in drive out job in one evening for me. Top work too. I'm not allowed to say who, but he works for a very...

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Sounds exactly what was happening with my DC2 man

Nice one Dennis!

You've never seen the sales figures have you? And the current Fiesta ST is on par with its peers, not trailing behind like the Mk6. How was it not a hot hatch? It was Ford's flagship Fiesta. I bet if you found a sales brochure from the period when they were on sale you'll find hot hatch buzz...

Autotrader research, not at all accurate, but it gives us an idea. Total cars on Autotrader for sale 411,392. Roughly filtered into: EP3 - 146 182 - 58 172 - 43 101 Fiesta ST - 235 :eek::eek::eek::eek: Woah, quite shocked at that! No way did they outsell the clio 2:1 though surely...

But I still think that is what the Zetec S is, a fancy looking fiesta for young lads. My mate had one of those ones with the chequered roof. My point is that Ford failed to make it a proper hot hatch competitor. Why would they restrict it? Not sure, I don't know enough about the engine. Does it...

Really? What figures do you have?

That was the Zetec S. The ST should have had more power to compete with the Clio/EP3 etc. Ford got it wrong. IMO.

Do regret not making this.

Any samples yet Rich?

I think they're just used to "normal" people. If I was a car salesmen, I'd hate having enthusiasts come to look at my cars lol.

The early early models do, then it was replaced with traction control. Mine is one of the last, so standard it didn't - but has been fitted with a LSD from a 3.0 M3 :)

...you make sure you got your monies worth out of the old ones! :rasp:

Looks good! I usually go every year but had things to do today :(

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) Result man. Really need to get my INPA sorted lol. Be interesting to see what values I get..

Corsa C 1.8 SRi Was big on my Corsa's back then and the 1.8 SRi was the holy grail. 123bhp of disappointment. Worse electric steering than a EP3, I kid you not.

Beautiful car mate. White wheels look ace but it depends how much you like cleaning wheels I guess. I'm getting my Regas powdercoated satin black soon.

Oh yes, dangerous shop lol. Makes me want to get a credit card..

They were originally from Nengun but I bought them from the man I got my cage off. Still haven't fitted the rear brace. Not sure if I'm going to fit that or keep with my 4 pointer.

Cheers pal. It needs driving softer!! Hurry up with that b*****d cruise control so I can waft to work :) Lol, doesn't sound like one ;)

Haha it's not that fast mate. 150bhp ish. Did a load of work over the weekend including getting her fluids replaced and the exhaust back on. Went for a little test drive: After getting back I started to swap all the arms for adjustable ones. Front and rear camber and rear toe, a total of 6...

62L? I did ok yesterday then lol. Haha it was pretty clean mate. Quick pic from yesterday

Thanks pal.

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) That filter is hilarious mate.. You had Carbone Lorraine pads before?

Thats just like my Mugen system is now. Why would you want something that loud? For a laugh! But the joke got old quite quickly..

Not sure if it's the lightest. It's very light mind, nothing to it! Very popular exhaust with the Kanjo racers if anyones seen them. (If not check them out!) Edit, f**k, another 6 month bump! Blame Tapatalk

Haha I went to primary school with him! He was down at mine a few weeks back lowering his coilovers. It's a pretty cool car.
