Hi Simon :) Thank you ever so much for the support Sprayshack have given me over the last couple of years it really does help out so thank you! Best of luck with the new venture and I look forward to speaking soon no doubt.
Yes I know very true :)
Thanks for coming and the help with the car...
Thanks everyone for all the kind words, yesterday was a great end to the year! My aim for this year was to get a win and I managed it :) It's been a competitive year really for me and the car! With class pole in the first two races and then 2nd in quali yesterday (behind the car on race wets...
Thanks guys :) will update when I get home! Been a bloody long day as just leaving donny now! Had a great day and a great way to end the season! Great to see the clios out today and I think betwean is all did a good job of representing them :)
Thanks to everyone who came and said hi!
So I slept in a bit late and it was slightly damp so plan was set to run the 888's. Then I got out of bed and the heavens opened! Time for a rush brake pad change and onto the 888's (closest thing to a wet that I have)
Then the car was all wet and steamed up so Adam very kindly dried it out...
Re: sonny172cup "track racer project"
Well done Sonny on getting stuck in and getting out here racing :) I think half way up the grid on first ever quali is great!
Car is all done and ready to go tomorrow, managed to do scrutineering and sign on today so literally can fall out of bed into the clio and qualify :)
Did oil change and rolled the rear arches as they had been catching at Oulton massive thanks to Tony for lending me the tool!
Went out for a...
Thanks for the offer Phil but I should be okay with the 888's :) See you tomorrow!
Haha so true, its a lot wetter out there this year so i'll be avoiding that!
I don't need to the mini's have done it in the night race by the looks of the track from the track walk we have just done :)
Arrived earlier and got setup for the weekend!
Setting up the 'pop up' gazebo was certainly a challenge on my own!
Getting deafened every two mins by these
Anyway all sorted for the weekend got a list of bits to do on the car tomorrow to be ready for Sunday but should all be okay...
I don't know to be fair but not been kicked off a trackday with this one yet :) I'm sure if people ask nicely Fred will do the system without the mid silencer so then you can go from a nice noise but still nicely refined to a bit more throaty but it's still not stupid :)
BTM system is by far the best system available for the 182's I've had 4 different systems and the BTM is leagues ahead of the rest! I will get some more pics and vids of mine after the weekend :)
EFA :rasp:
Yes buddy look forward to seeing you then :)
Likewise mate :)
Yes mate and you and thanks for the help with the oil change :) The car started smoking away this afternoon as I must of even got the oil on the exhaust mani lol!
Thank you means a lot! I can't wait to drive it now, me...
Looks like we are all set for the weekend :) Massive thanks to Fred for building the engine at such short notice and also to Paul and Specky at RS-Tuning for running in and mapping the new engine! Top job by Paul on the mapping as always, the car really feels great now so big thanks to all...
So all done and ready to fire up and the starter is dead :( so annoying! Thankfully I have a spare so will swap that over after I've eaten some dinner.
I've found and had to replace a damaged driveshaft and also an upper engine mount but thankfully had them all in 'stock' as spares.
Thanks Dan :) yes I certainly hope so as Donny is a slippery track in the wet.
The plan was Friday but need to see what happens with geo and dyno time :)
Thanks mate :)
Yes cam timing has been changed along with a slight change in CR as chip has said.
I was thinking that last night but didn't want to impose as you are busy enough :) thanks for the thought though mate!
Yes I think it will be okay at tick over but it would be nice to have a proper drive and...
Getting there :)
Realised I don't have any oil so not going to be able to fire it up and also don't have any fueling/knock stuff at home so probably not really safe to run the engine for long. Might have to cancel the geo and have a lay in lol
I don't like either :( Unless the redbull is with Jagermiester and that probably wouldn't be a good idea tonight lol!
Thanks Martin, Yes tunes will be pumping to try and keep me awake lol! The sound of it firing to life at around 6am will be good for me and then a quick watch of the F1 before...
Just got in from work and tomorrow is my only day off before Donington so the car is booked in at 2.30 for the geo doing! The car is currently still in a million bits with the gearbox and engine removed! Massive thanks to Fred for building the engine on Wednesday as a bit of a rush job! I am...
