Bit of a late update from the weekends TARC meeting at Silverstone. We missed Rockingham a few weeks back due to a broken gearbox after CSCC at Oulton. The weekend was dictated by the weather pretty much, horrendous rain and wind for most of it. Quali was full wet and with 40 cars on track...

Gearbox is out, decided to drop the subframe and take it out from underneath for a change, I normally just pull the full lot out of the top but I find it a bit fiddly refitting with the pure mounts now. It’s certainly fiddly from underneath and took 2.5 hours, I can pull the whole lot out from...

Had an ‘Interesting’ weekend shall we say! Weather couldn’t make its mind up all day Saturday and quali started damp and got wetter and included a safety car for good measure. Fairly sure there was some oil down in quali and I just couldn’t get the car stopped for hizzy’s meaning I ran through...

We’re ready. Spanner checked last night all good. Checked the geo and was bang on from last time I did it before pembrey. Had to make a cross bar to hook the string line brackets on at the front as there’s no slam panel on the car anymore, had them jammed through the grille last time I...

Makes me happy as well mate! Get a proper measure of how much faster it is this weekend hopefully as Oulton Park is the only circuit I’ve previously visited since putting the car back together! Russ

Nearly ready! Tyres on. Dash is back with the latest firmware. However race Technology haven’t done what they promised and re-loaded the original configuration back on it! Much pain in the arse redoing it last night as I didn’t have it saved. Hopefully everything works as it should as I...

Been getting the car ready this weekend. Changed the engine oil and filter + the gearbox oil as well, they’ve done 2 race weekends and still looked pretty clean so pleased with that, first time I’ve changed the oil in this motor. Seen as the tintops have different regs. the headlights are back...

Glad you’re happy with the exhaust mark, It did look a decent system. I even thought about keeping it for my trophy but have a Yozza to try first, might end up being too loud though! Russ

You’ll love it mate, I like it as it’s one of those places that the more times you visit the faster you go unlike other circuits that you can learn in quali! At least your 2nd driver has been there before. Russ

Entry accepted for CSCC Tintops 40minute race at Oulton Park in just over 2 weeks time. Couldn’t go a season without racing at our favourite circuit. Number ‘151’ this time though. Russ I’ll be there on the Friday mate but I won’t be testing, car knows it’s way round! @shiftspark saturday June...

They look miles better with the cup spoiler on. Glad it’s ok mate. Russ

N Not when you’re sat in the assembly area ready to race you can’t! Russ

Dash2 Pro.

But you’ve still got the uch so is pointless that’s the weak link in the chain imo. Russ

Dta S40 on my car, get rid of everything and start again, easiest way. Obviously that loom that nick at Pure motorsport does is just the engine loom you’ll still Need to re-do everything else. One other thing is you’ll need a new dash/instruments as the oe won’t work without the uch and Ecu. All...

Yeah seen that. Russ

Tapatalk currently not letting me upload pics but bare with me. So it was Pembrey this weekend just gone with TARC Tricolore Trophy again. Somewhere else we’ve never visited before, it’s a great circuit even if the facilities and organisation was a bit lacking. In preparation for the weekend...

Yeah been waiting to see them! Chop chop! Russ

So, race report from last weekend at Brands hatch with TARC Tricolore Trophy. First time I’ve Raced Nicole for nearly 2.5 years and first time I’ve ever driven at brands hatch, it’s a 650mile round trip hence the lack of previous experience! So wasn’t sure how we would get on, had everyone got...

Tony was 3rd in both races and josh finished both behind rich in class but wasn’t happy with his car I don’t think. Russ

Cheers mate, good to be back in the car after 2.5 years, like I’ve never been away! Full weekend report coming when I get a minute. Russ

Bit of testing at a very wet and cold Anglesey yesterday with my mate Ged in his Saxo. All went well for both cars, no issues. Nicole felt great on the wets first thing but couldn’t get the heat into any other tyres and didn’t want to wreck a new set of wets so just took it easy on my usual damp...

Point of deminishing returns after a certain point, sure my old class F car will do 2.05ish. Russ

More like 235 per tonne but yeah it helps. Russ

Anything under 2m Mark is a quick time. 1.57’s last time in October 2015 hopefully we’ll be quicker than that next time I’m there. Russ

Wish this snow would £&*$ off! I’ve got things to do this weekend! Russ

Just getting prepped for the upcoming season. Most important job, washed the trailer! Centre deck was filthy and it was looking a bit sorry for itself. Nicole hiding! Had the van on the ramp too for new discs and pads all around, new brake fluid, new engine oil, air and oil filter...
