Sounds like a cracking day :) So the Sierra feels it's age then ?

From a 1.6 yes :)

There is also lots of tuning packs for the MK 3 FRS as well :)

330-350 BHP on stock internals is fine and this is coming from all the tuners and Collins have ran there 320 BHP one for 50K fault free hard miles .

I want to come and play next time to make the set up fwd , 4wd and red :)

Its been 4 weeks so is the below on order yet ?

9 weeks and counting mate lol We go on the Monday 07/08/17 Till the Friday so will have 3 afternoon sessions so yes I cant wait . The Mrs will be driving the VTS there and I will be taking the Fiesta St but she has banned me from taking the Fiesta on track 😧

Yeah just need Tyres and tracking and its done :) Will be fun to see how it gets on round the ring as last year I drove the rent 4 ring swift and they were very good so I hope the old Saxo can be around as good . Alan

At the weekend I set about changing the exhaust system , cat and diverter valve . First up I will say this was not an easy job made so much harder when doing this on a stone drive was with only jacks and axle stands . First up was to remove the engine cover , wiper blades , plastic cover ...

So the car is up and running and will be tax and insured so I can give it a test on the road but the idle is a bit lumpy so for the sake of around £ 50 I have changed all the sensors that are the common fault for rough running / idle . I had the same problem with my old Civic Type R and this...

I know some people in the USA are running 360+ on stock internals but 400 BHP would be a step too far :)

On stock Internals ?

Last few bits arrived yesterday GFB DV+ valve that keeps the stock diverter valve but changes the piston and spring to one that will not leek boost and can also hold more boost . [/URL ] Mountune exhaust hangers [/URL ] ST key ring J [/URL ] Just need some good weather to...

Ok after reading for hours about different track day tyres I was thinking about the Nankang NS-2R , Yoko Advan ADO8R and the Federal 595 RS-R . Im not going to be chasing lap times and just having some fun so want a stick track tyre so any of the above will be ok in my eyes . They all seem to...

My Milltek cat back exhaust and sports cat has arrived so all I need is some good weather to get it fitted . The system is 2.75 bore from the stock 2.12 bore . I have chosen the OEM noise level option that 99.9 % of people do not go for . Yo can get four different types from the first the...

All ready done mate as soon as the wheels went back on . Don't think I could have lived with the shame if both wheels flew off mid ring trip :)

Too big for one post :)

The ADO8R are £ 307 for the x 4 so about the same as the Nankang ones . I thought that the TOYO 888R were the best for out right grip but did not last as long as the rest ?

How about just for track use as the car will only be on the road driving to the ring . Alan

Ok after some reading I have got it down to the below options for all x 4 tyres TOYO R888R £ 368 NANKANG NS-2R 120 TRACK £ 304 FEDERAL 595 RS-R £ 238 Does anyone have / used any of the above before . Alan

So getting close to finishing and am now looking at tyres . I have seen the below at a good price but what do people think as in not that clued up on track day tyres . https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/nankang/ns-2r/195-50-zr15-86w-450711 Thanks Alan

Could be the Pumaspeed ones or Revo ones as they are 350 BHP and 360 LB/FT .

A lot are driven / styled by undesirables but its still a good car . Collins have done 40K miles with there test car that is still going strong after some hard testing / driving . In MR 230 or CP2 they are quick little things and a lot of people running the setups . Really that seems crazy

So after a few more dives and a trip to Essex yesterday I can say that I love this little thing :) feels just as happy on the motor way as it does on a back road and 6th gear is all you need to make rapid progress . The best thing for me is that it looks totally stock bar the Mountune MP-215...
