The 330 is another of the Sir_Dave bargain finds. Technically its not part of the fleet, Dave is just its temp custodian.

That Trophy will never leave the flock. Its like my Cup. It can't be sold or broke for parts. Dave personally I think the time has come to subscribe. It will tick that daft company car requirement box you have and it will still scratch that trackday itch you'll ALWAYS have....just be sure to...

That Avensis is a noisy bugger! Like.

Shows how slack you've been.....no one can be arsed nowdays! I can't even make it now anyway....

Im writing up 2011, and up to as it is now, today and tonight when I get a chance inbetween work.

Other than a few tweaks here and there yeah, pretty much Tom. V6 air box, matched inlets, decat, Longlife custom pipe and a remap.

Glad you approve James. Have indeed been some epic adventures. Can't quite believe its been 7 years if i'm honest Luke. Has flown by. I can't honestly see me selling it and it would break my heart to break it......although it would earn me more money if I did! Dave says the same about his...

Pretty much spot on actually. That bloody ARB.....

Busy one tonight then!

I think the barrier still has a massive chunk of Saners Saxo in it.... Definitely was a tricky surface when wet. I think that was of my first encounters with big oversteer in that car....stood me in good stead for Brands not long after.

Apologies mate....I knew i'd **** up on the odd detail. Its your bloody fault with your multiple Trophies. ;) And yes its been a bit quiet today. Either that or im getting way more efficient.....probably the first one.

This, we thought, would probably be it for trackdays this year, but then in October the Haynes Motor Museum Test Track day was organised by Jon of the Saner. A small, largely disused, tight, technical and very green (see slippery) track combined with stop start rain made things extremely...

2010 – The Track Car Spec Creeps In In early 2010, in desperate need of seats and with JMS able to get Bimarco’s for a fair price I decided that I’d take the money I had got for the Porsche GT3 reps and chuck it at a pair of Bimarco Futuras. I also found a set of 2” Sparco harnesses in a...

2010 next up.

Yeah mine is putting out 177 so its shy of what Nicks Cup was putting out by 15bhp.

Agreed. Unless mine gains a 20bhp power hike then I don't think there'll be a huge amount of difference between us again this year. I might have inherited Nicks Cup's girth (ooh err) but I definitely haven't got its grunt....:dapprove:

2009 – Loss and Gain During 2008/09 the emergence of a new meet group in the Staines/Chertsey area meant that I met some of the people that I now deem as my bestest and closest friends. Kicked off by some Timberland wearing Staines rude boi type (take a bow Mr James Stone) the Staines Pizza...

You guys get your mention in the next instalment....my brothers from many other mothers.;)

Cheers! 2009 is on its way....im trying to not waffle on. Failing badly.:o

Both the IOM trip and the TG day did highlight the growing need for some front suspension attention however, namely a lower balljoint that was starting knock so a new lower arm was fitted a week after TG and the Geo re-aligned. It was also around about this time that the rear silencer cried...

Well Im up to 2009 so far...thats to follow.

2008 – A Busy Year So, my mission to sort out the frankly awful standard seats meant that in January 2008 I bit the bullet, loaded up the credit card and bought a pair of Cobra Daytona’s with Cup172 embroidered on them. I didn’t need the visual garnish but what the hell. The improvement over...

2007 – Tinkering and travelling In very early January I took a week off to drive up to North West Scotland. I’d been up there back in 2002 in what can only be described as my worst car ever – a 1996 Vauxhall Corsa with knackered engine mounts – so I vowed then that I’d go back in something...

Well it’s been nigh on 7 years since I bought RF52 WYW back in June 2005 and the car is 10 years old this December. In celebration of these two ‘milestones’ I thought its about time I created a project thread, or in this case, a documentary of its history up to now, as I never intended it to be...

I can't tell you how much I love both of those Loti. The central seating position in Pipsqueak is sexual. Personally I think they should all be that way. Sod passengers.

Poor Jord :(

Looking good Joah. Just needs a cage I think....;)

You might not be wrong. Soon you'll struggle to find an Exige S1 with a K-series in this country....they are all being shipped abroad and bastardised with Vtecs.

Obviously only the real men will be at football this week. ;)

One way to tell if its the battery, which I think it probably is, is to keep an eye on all fuel gauge on start up. If it drops whilst cranking then the dash is losing power meaning the battery is kaput. The trip counter will also reset.
