Cheers chaps, hopefully can carry the momentum to oulton park. Russ

Race 2 Video All good upto approx 9mins then a cheeky edit for said incident, backed it right off after that. Russ http://youtu.be/WFFlELDjODQ

A good job?! He hasn't even done anything with it, he's washed it twice that's about it! russ

I might do a cheeky edit and put the vid up after as it's quite good to watch. Russ

Not doing snet I don't think, going to make oulton the last race of the season. Russ

Awesome pic, got a similar one of mind in the same place. Russ

So, weekend report, good and bad! Arrived at Cadwell park on Friday afternoon about 4.30pm, never raced here before and only ever driven it on a trackday in a standard dc2 back in 2006! It seemed like when I got there everyone was having car issues, James had lost drive in his clio which turned...

Yes mate 25th to 6th in the first race, another lap and I've been right in the fight for 1st/2nd! Glad you enjoyed it mate, its a great series with good close racing and I hope it keeps bring more spectators and competitors in the future. Russ

Good to meet you too Ollie, car was certainly in form after the problematic quali. Russ

Yeah they were a bit strict this weekend, but I think it's been getting like that all season, at oulton last year they hardly touched my car in scrut, didn't check the cut off or anything! Didn't realise that about Sonny, what a waste of a race. Russ

No problem James, see you at oulton. Russ

PMSL could of been worse, could of jumped out of your wardrobe! russ

Thanks for the image of someone's dad in a spider man outfit Mark! russ

Thanks martin, trophy used to belong to Chi I think, a local guy Adam has it now. Thanks mate must of taken some time! Keep an eye out after the weekend for a race weekend report and videos. MG cup don't have a final spec for suspension yet but obviously there's more scope for easy geo...

Nearly ready for Cadwell this coming weekend. Had the geo checked and tweaked by Richard at Blink Motorsport on Saturday. Got the rest of the jobs done last night too. Was 'one in one out' at the workshop though. Spanner checked the whole car with no issues, changed the engine oil and...

I love the debate power numbers cause, that will be the last mention of them by me in this thread, pretty sure there's no dyno figures in my clio thread either as they're totally irrelevant! Moving on, my set of evo wheels turned up today. Russ

Is now the wrong time to mention Paul west of tdi north is a mate of mine? It's certainly where this will be going to be mapped and it's where my clio was done, wouldn't trust anyone else tbh. Russ

yes mate exactly that, rough engine plans are rbc/rrc inlet manifold, exhaust manifold and 3" system along with hondata ecu, that'll make circa 250bhp, might also drop a set of cams in as the engine is coming out anyway. 265-270bhp would be ideal. Russ

Just fancied building a honda whether an integra or civic, for no other reason than that I enjoy building the cars now nearly as much as driving them. Russ

New thread HERE russ

Bought this week to build into another race car, the clio is staying on as well though. The plan is to have it done sometime in 2015. Its a 2005 facelift car and came with a few nice bits to offset the build cost like Premier edition Recaro seats and a few other mods. Sold the seats and...

No Colin clio is staying, this is definately an addition not a replacement. I enjoy building cars now as much as driving them so this will keep me busy for a while with a view to using it in Cscc tintops. Russ

Oops! New race car build on the horizon! Will start a new thread in the other vehicles/motorsport section in time. Russ

Yeah definately get yourself along and see what it's all about. Yeah had a few bits off Chris, wheels and the Ast's that were on the shell originally. Keep up the good work mate. Russ

Its a good championship mate, very well priced IMO £315 for a double header with quali. Grids are getting bigger now and its a great place for beginners , everyone is friendly and very helpful. It gives you a direction to go with the car if you're building it for a certain purpose I find. Have a...

Nice to see the attention to detail, is it purely for track days or are you gonna do any kind of competition with it? Can't persuade you to join us in the Tricolore? russ

Cheers mate, hopefully won't be needing anything serious as all the big ticket stuff has been done, cambelt + air springs all round and new compressor. Going to change the box and diff oil ASAP but its nothing fancy just 75w90. Russ

I like my tow cars to have self levelling rear suspension at least mate so BMW 5 series, merc e class fit the bill, allroad is air all round so ideal, just a little soft and bouncy everyday. Russ

Lol I love £1k sheds Dave! I think I'll probably keep this until the new year and look out for another 535d touring then. Russ

Seems like ages since I've touched the car, after seeing all the action in the last TT round At silverstone I was a bit gutted I wasn't racing. Never mind, the last 2 rounds are coming up on the 20th September at Cadwell and then shortly after on the 4th august at oulton park. The car is ready...
