I find the issue with Bedford is most of the time you’re faster than a lot of cars around the bends and then as you enter the straights to pass them they vanish 😂 Most poorly driven modern cars make their time on the straights. Bedford’s big enough to do your own thing. As said there will be at...
I went to pick up my parts today from M.S. Custom Engineering and i’m Very happy!
Everything has been powder coated anthracite and in addition the main inlet has had the stripes colour matched to liquid yellow like the graphics on the car.
The inlets have been port-matched and gas-flowed and...
I might have been lying a little when I said i’d stoped taking the car apart. Whilst the rear was at the powder coaters I thought it would be rude not have some of the engine parts done at the same time. So off have gone the manifold etc for some powder coating and some porting..........;)...
What make is it? I’ve had no issues with mine from CM Composites.
I’ve seen people use an additional single round pin push catch before mounted in the middle before. Looks neat and tidy
Slow-gress.......
Not much movement on the Clio but that’s due holidays so I can’t complain!
The bits arrived from PMS. I’ve arrange who is going to be sandblasting, welding and powder coating them. Whilst the bits are there I will also be sending some other bits to gain a few ponies for the...
Depends if you want you (the driver) in the image or not. It’s easy to mount off of the dash and you get the best view out of the car but you can’t see what the drivers doing.
Mounting off of the cage X is good but you don’t see much of out the front and the GoPro seams to struggle with...
So the racing gods were on our side as the monster screw had penetrated the rubber block but not gone through as it had laid on its side. One drama over with but the car was getting hot. As guessed, before we had opened the bonnet............ we had an air lock and as a result the header tank...
Snetterton race weekend 15.06.19 - The highs and lows of racing...........
We all went up Friday afternoon as team 'Unique Transporters' had booked on the Friday test session as their car had been down to KTEC for a new gripper diff etc. Turns out they're impressed with the setup but sadly it...
The rears all apart now. I think this is one of those small jobs that will result in the car being off the road for some time as there's more and more I want to do. Turns out there's lots of orange bits but nothing to bad.
Time to order the strengthening kit and clean up the underside ready...
I made the decision to sell/break this car a few weeks back ☹ But the realised 2 weeks later I would be an idiot to do so!
At the moment it’s not getting used but that’s only due to the racing. The racing won’t last forever. Maybe a couple more rounds for this year and then I will end up...
Round 3 (Round 2 for us) - Snetterton 15.06.19
We're booked on for our second outing in the TDT this year. As both drivers from both teams haven't been to Snetterton before we attended a track day/test day yesterday.
What's changed - Not much, the main item is a set of Nankang AR1s. The...
Cheers guys, it’s not an issue as I can MOT my car again but was seeing if I would leave it as an ‘off the road’ car. We stay at the Ring House which is 300m away and I have loads of fuel cans so that’s not an issue. But if we do it I’d probably like to tag on some evening tourist sessions, GP...
Well done, looks great fun! The only time to beat is this time if you go next year in the same car with the same weather.
It it road legal cars only for the trackday? I guess it would have to be if you tag on some tourist days before/after the trackday or getting the car up to the GP track if...
I knew the outcome of the weekend which is a shame for everyone involved as the time and preparation gone into this car is ridiculous!
This car is amazing in real life. But more amazing for me, having driven the ‘same’ car on the same day, is seeing the corner speeds you carry. It’s got us...
Had some photos sent over from the race. Sadly i’m Not driving the car?
The start was busy as you can see
Glad we had the right hand side of the car fixed as I knew that’s the side the photos would be from!
Some sad news for C5EAD......
I went racing last week if I’m the MSV Trackday Trophy and absolutely loved it!! Sadly this means C5EAD will probably spend all year in the garage but ATM it’s not going anywhere.
I dragged it out the garage and cleaned it as it was still hanging from Bedford. I...
Cheers for the advice! It’s amassing how fast your mind moves on to the next round.....
Sorry to hear about your bad news with the engine, hope you get it fixed soon and get to enjoy it ?
The weekend we dreamed of…..
Last update the car went up to Donnington with Russ the other driver (Owner). First off he we had the fire extinguisher serviced for £44. Only found out the night before it was out of date by one month. He then put the car through scrutineering and to our relief we...
Nothing like last minute! The car finally is symmetrical. Dan the graphic man worked his magic and then we attached the sill cover.
And we that we’re off to Donnington .....
