    My latest mod = free bhp

    Well, sort of. Every little helps :approve: I'm now at a solid 186 bhp per ton. Got myself a nice 6kgs seat to go in next, hope to have that in before the Combe action day - and if that saves me 15kgs, I'll be somewhere around 190 :approve:

    Do harnesses reach back to the rear upper seatbelt mounting points?

    Or is a longer length/extension required? If so, is this advised? Thanks.

    Airfield sprint video part 2

    A full 'lap' but not filmed in the usual manner. I think this works well aside from a few minor timing issues (my patience ran out long ago). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U2BhQMNeAc Shame it was raining or I could have got footage from outside.

    Aifield sprint video part 1

    I'm trying to put together a full lap from different angles but this editing lark is taking me ages, so here's a clip of my faux pas instead for now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmQxBo0BQgo This suction mount is impressive, so steady.

    Rolling road at 98,000 miles...

    Very happy with the result on Saturday. The guy overlaid the curve from 13 months and 23,000 miles ago on the same rolling road with no difference in engine mods/setup...and it's not lost anything anywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce9dcUrxmYg

    A FF182 vs a MkII V6...

    ...from a rolling start the V didn't pull at all. Throw some 'twisties' into the mix and, well, see for yourself... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAc7D6Jf4Ws ;) Driver was Oms on his first ever proper trackday :approve: Good work lad.

    It was, err, a bit slippery...

    Couldn't get the power down anywhere. Damn these pauper spec models and their lack of traction control. Clicky ;)

    Another new angle

    More messing about with my mount...I can get the camcorder almost anywhere with it...so thought I'd try a Clarkson. I'll shave next time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEDOoz-7M2c

    Is this a sin?

    I was testing out my windscreen mount, and this happened... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j56Rz3PTfR8

    31 miles, 2x 'races', lots of fun...

    ...all condensed down into 3 minutes. Some silly bint in a old Boxster, and a 320d that was on its door handles. Pure comedy. Since the insurers have paid up I've replaced my suction mount so finally got to get some footage from it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCSGdzrsG3s

    Had a 'race' with a VTS and CRX...

    ...f*** me them CRXs shift! The Saxo was tidy too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsgNHDIWx9I

    Fred...you'll be proud of me...

    2.0 16V side badges - free to collector...

    They're sat at Rentech at the moment. If you have a set of 1.2, 1.4, or even dCi side badges and want my 2.0 16V ones, get yourself down to Rentech and they'll exchange them over for you...ask Dave really nicely and I'm sure he'd remove your old ones and pop the new ones on for you too.

    Stolen and Recovered; the Cup that lived

    Back at last :D Bit of a co(k-up at the garage this morning, had to go grab a coffee while I waited for them to turn up. Turns out the ****s that took it nicked my gloves too. W****rs. And my suction mount's gone as well. Apart from that, everything was there, even the CDs and alloy wheel...

    My 172 Cup... FOUND!!!!!

    The control centre called; "Do you have a spare set of keys?" "Yes...you've found it?" "Yes Mr B" "Is it in a bad way?" "The keys will greatly assist with the recovery" That was it. Knock at the door, in comes a nice man. "Yours was the 4th one in the last few days, so we've been giving...

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    M***er-f***ers smashed in through our conservatory, grabbed the keys plus some cash from upstairs, then left. Camcorder, camera, Xbox, new 6.1 amp all still here - so was either stolen to order or they got disturbed. Registration YE53 ZKW. Currently wearing 15" Dynamique wheels in silver...

    Fully stripped 0-100 + 100-0 speedo video...

    But I don't think the stripping has made the slightest difference LOL Might be because I was on track tyres that I couldn't get any heat into - the revs flared in 1st and I clipped the limiter. Disappointed with my 100-0 as well - I make it about 5 seconds dead. Click me

    Oops!

    I was out filiming 0-100 and 100-0 runs earlier today on my private airfield. After one 100-0 some random woman in a Zafira pulls up behind me as I'm stopped fiddling with my camera and waiting for the runway to clear. The camera was still running as she got out and came up to my door and...

    My latest weight saving mod...

    Only seems like a small amount, but the change in charcter of the car is HUGE :approve: Louder, coarser, more fidgety, tyre whine, exhaust drone, and quicker (obviously) - goodbye to 8.8 kgs of waste... Also, a big thumbs up to Dave at Rentech for his handywork with a few cable ties :D...

    Colway F2 tyres

    I fancy trying some of these out - but nowhere seems to have them in stock. The Colway office main number when I dial it no longer exists, and if I dial the fax number it just rings and rings. Have they gone bust?

    A slipery lap of Brands Indy

    Clearing down camcorder tapes and came across this. A ragged lap on a damp track on very worn track tyres. With a nervous passenger. Click me

    My Turinis, after 96,000 miles, can they be saved?

    They look terrible I know, flaking, kerbed, covered in baked on brake dust. Am I going to need a full refurb or are there any other options? Considering they've only been hand washed about 5 times in their life, I think they're quite presentable LOL
  23. Tighten My Nuts

    Recommend me a wet tyre? Must be asymmetric and not directional...

    in 195/45/16 for my Cup. Thanks.

    Airfield Sprint Championship Nov 2007

    A very eventful day, several offs, a bit of damage, and rain that just about held off - didn't stop the surface being like an ice rink though! I need a new splitter and my arch liners popping back in as a result of my off from chasing that elusive 0.5 second on my last run...

    My sparking brakes! Pics and video clip...

    I like, I like :approve: Once they get hot what comes off the disc is impressive and totally appropriate at this time of year... Warm... Warmer... Bingo! Really bad short video clip of them in action here...CLICK

    My homemade attempt at weighing my Cup...

    ...had to give it a go. Very impressive result I thought. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqLFERq8mKQ This is just for you Tom.

    My brakes are sparking - great stuff :D

    I travel down a lot of narrow tree-lined unlit country roads, and on my way home tonight I noticed a flash (quick like a camera flash but not as bright) out of the drivers window everytime I came off the brakes. So I wound the window down, stuck my head out, and did a few hard stops - I was...

    Could I weigh my Cup accurately using this?

    I've got one at work with 1,000 kgs limit. If I jacked up my car then let it down with one wheel on the pallet truck, and did that for all four corners then added up the results...would I have an accurate total car weight? I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. But I still don't...

    What's an instructor worth around a track?

    "Is an instruction session worth it?" - is an often asked question. This guy was worth s***-loads. Click He responded to areas where I was weak, and communicated well :approve:

    Is my Plasma tellybox f***ed?

    Two nights ago one line appeared, now there's two from top to bottom. Warranty time I guess - but would it be repaired or replaced do you think?
