Yes mate. It’s the 5 speed one though. We tried a few 6 speeds and the gearbox just didn’t feel great on track. Too much 4th and 5th work, presumably from the shorter ratios.

Mk1 is just as fast as sams 214bhp monster and notably faster than the MX5. I was stating behind Elliot most of the morning for video purposes. I the ok sessions we did our own thing and I actually put some effort in. With some decent suspension I’m sure the Mk1 will be an absolute beast...

Iirc, Combeis the only Circuit left that allows open face with open tops. I’m sure that’s why the guy said at Oulton. (When Elliot had to do the same reverse of shame! Lol!) Go Pro Hero 7 I think they’re called?? Mega impressed with the quality.

Yeah that’s a strange one. My car tested at 88db, the MX5 was 91. But on track mine is notably louder.

So we’ve decided to splash some cash on some Go Pro’s and as we try and do at least one track day a month, it should make for some good footage over the coming year or so. MX5 is a standard car with some cheap Coilovers and decent brakes - having the BBR 225 ITB conversion at the end of this...

You asked for opinions. I gave you mine and now you’re upset because you don’t like it... 🤦‍♂️

Ok.

Your car is costing you money. Mine is making me money. Why are you getting so butt hurt about what some strangers on the internet thing about a rental car?? Strange bloke.

Opinions welcome.... My opinion is; what a waste of £180 per month. But the world would be boring and s**t if we all liked/did the same things. It suits you and your happy. (And flame red is banging!!) 👍

Can I buy a set off you please??

Just got home and apart from the front wings need trimming (scrubbing under hard cornering) and the starter motor acting up, it was faultless all day. And f**king fast too! Genuinely shocked at how fast it is and the corner speed it can carry. Happy happy boy tonight. 😁😁😁

Don’t panic, It will be back on them soon mate. Just need to finish the tyres off on the black rims so that I can put my wets in them and keep the gold Willies for dry tyres. 👍

Holy s**t balls it’s finished (sort of) and I’ve got my first track day in it tomorrow.. To say I’m excited and nervous is an understatement!

I bought one from IM Axels and once fitted, my mate lowered it in about 15 minutes. 100% worth the money given how rusty they get.

Kangoo diesel tank, 182 fuel pump with the Kangoo diesel float attached.

Kangoo friends!! Make sure you keep the thread updated. Will be keeping a keen eye on this. 👍

Autosmart Snow foam. Best I’ve ever used and it’s odourless too. 👍

I’ve done about 2000 road miles on mine and 3 trackdays. 2 wet one dry. They’ll do another track day I’m sure but then they’ll definitely be dead. They’re definitely not cut out for dry track work! I can’t fault them really. Are they as good as a tyre twice the price? No. Are they somewhere...

I probably sold that when it was new! if I owned that car, I’d spend the inevitable £1500 that it’s going to need (tyres, brakes, belts, servicing) and put it up for £7995. Maybe even £8995 If it’s super clean.

This is mental! 😂😂

Your Car looks nice though mate. Proper straight old thing. Looked lovely in the sun. I hope you managed to see the Kangoo going round yesterday??

@frayz - NO WAY!! I was stood with Matt yesterday at Combe when you said goodbye! 😂😂

The only way you’ll damage paint with a DA is if you throw it at the car. You’ll be fine bud. 👍

Love stuff like this! Great work.

Christ, cleans up well!

Do you not have arms? I mean fair play for doing it with your feet, it’s better than I could do.

Of course it’s not a like for like comparison, I never said it was. But I just don’t get why people get so uptight about other people investing in cars. An RS Turbo is s**t to drive. And if it gets wet it will rot in front of my eyes. As a drivers car, my daily 182’d Kangoo is 10 times better! 😂

Don’t waste the hotel, see you there...

Wet sad news, I look forward to it more than the family holiday! 😂 But needs must. Totally understand where you need to be as a responsible organisation. And people of CS, please see the “5-10 business days!” For the refund. Please don’t harass an already busy admin team or they’ll get mad...

I own the following cars, they are all in a unit, under lock and key. S2 Escort RS Turbo Clio 172 Cup Volvo 850R Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v Fiat Coupe 20vT Apart from the Mk1 clio (that I owned before, about 10 years ago so doesn’t really count) I’ve never driven Any of them. They were purchased...
