Used to be obsessed with these things a few years back in my pre Clio days. I settled for a vtr I'm wicked red as I was only 18 at the time but was still fairly new. A friend of mine has just bought a late one in moonstone one elderly owner from new just to keep and rekindle his youth now and...

First video edit of my first session at Snetterton

Open track are like that too free pictures and tuition lol

What provider is it with mate? Got a link?

Javelin? I was thinking of booking the day iirc for just over 200ish??? I'm off so I'll pop up no doubt, may even book it

17th of?? Cheers mate, was me first time at Snett

The premier inn I stopped at sorry, it's bang and attached to a decent little pub where we ate that evening tbh and it's about 10 minute drive in the morning. Yeah liked it tbh mate, car seemed to turn in better and with less weight in the back the back did want seem a tad more lively but it's...

So yesterday I did Snetterton 300 in the Megane, open pit lane with MSV. I travelled down the day before with the missus and stopped in a travel lodge about 10 minutes down the road to save the 2 and a half hour trip in the morning. Got to the circuit about half 7, welcomed by a lot of...

Trophy was certainly a pleasure to own, shame it's not in the condition it was whilst I owned it anymore [emoji24]

So then Geometry is done! Added some more camber to the front from around a degree and a half up to 2 degrees after the passenger side outer edge took a beating at Mallory and Oulton. Other then that not much to report, rear beam still in spec which is nice as you can't adjust or shim them...

So yesterday I cracked on swapping my wishbones. Whilst carrying out my steering refresh I found substantial play in the NS bottom balljoint. Now luckily I have some spare perfectly usable R26 lower arms so I swapped the pair out. The plan was to rebuild them before hand as I've already got...

So there's been some updates today finished off me seats and harnesses when I got up. First I started cleaning the car out and the stuff that collects under the seats over the years and then removed the rear seats I built the seats up on there mounts and set about fitting them. The seating...

Yeah it has mate, the R26 comes fitted as standard with an LSD [emoji106]

So just woke up, ripped the majority of the interior out. For now this is as far as its going for the next few months, going to pop the rear panels out and then the carpet, roof lining etc will be coming out when the cage comes out

So then cracked on today despite the lack of sleep after last nights night shift. Tidied up on the first frame I drilled with a little bit of round file action. This has since had a dusting of paint to make it look more presentable and is now drying. So I removed the drivers Recaro and...

So spent the afternoon redrilling one of the Ktec frames for the seats as due to the width the mounting holes don't quite own up. Seems quite common issue when going for wider fitment seats with these frames. Just a little bit of filing on the new elongated holes and a dusting of black paint...

When I signed up I got a book through the door with the dates, only ones a pay attention of is the members day but if I'm ever board I just go up there as there's always something going on. Similar plays are up for 499 on DVLA but in reality private sale I don't think you'd get that. Cheers...

Not today @theburns1 was an event today plus I haven't paid me subs yet as I was at work on the first members day. Nice day for it though and some impressive Jedis there

Cheers mate, done 200 mile in it since Friday! The R26 is feeling left out that's for sure haha

It's actually all been powder coated tbh mate so I was just going to leave it. I was going to give the rocker cover a dusting of silver but that's it

So we all know they idle a little lumpy but once warm it was a little more lumpy then usual. Now I know it had plugs and leads last year so my first point of call was to check the injectors So out came the multimeter, number 3 was 8ohms so half what t should really be. Quick blast to euro and...

So absolutely loving the cup so far, out of all the 1*2's I've owned it certainly feels the most alive. The brakes feel great and it just feels so adjustable, little lumpy idle but just checked all the injectors and one is reading 8ohms which is half what it should be so just going to order one...

Something to do at yours over a cuppa lol

Yeah just rung it's neck to brum, seems alright reckon it may want an injector but going to give it a once over this week

Here you go @NorthloopCup

Cheers for all nice comments lads, just off to fetch it now got out of work early :)

Swadlincote??

I didn't pay 2700 for it ;) It's got full history a lot of it at diamond motors including a belt and it's been owned by an enthusiast that's known on forums. Looked at loads but most of them were ill modified or stupid mileage It drives great too

Fingers crossed I can fetch it tonight, the lad who owns it has moved to Leeds so I've dealt with his brother and he had to post the logbook back home which he did yesterday morning. Just got to ring sky insurance to sort that today, came out around 450 as its a new policy and my NCB are on my...

I was unsure when my mate sent me the link as poor photos etc etc but minute I saw the car, drove it and checked history is was mine lol
