Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6]
Pro Alloy are doing a rad for Porkie soon and had lots of people interested so i’ll probably set up a group buy on them once I find out costs etc :) Their work is epic!
Good question haha i’ve had no hand in the organisation but Houx Annex rings a bell :) Lol its going to be a noisy trip just got back from driving to Snetterton and back in it this evening and i’m now deaf!
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
Agreed I wouldn't be worried at 120 :) also when I look at my data from a race its amazing how quickly the oil temp drops as soon as the engine isn't working flat out.
So pretty much 3 years to the day since I bought the car as a standard road car! Crazy how time has flown and how much my life has changed in the process!
Then the other day it was back on road suspension, number plates back on and an MOT time again!
Ready for the drive to Le Mans in a few...
Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2)
You are entitled to your opinion buddy but from my experience and everyone else that I know who have been there they have been great. I’ve had them do full setup on mine a few times last year and always driven mint and been bang on when checked with camber gauge at...
Got a phone call from gripper to say the dog box is ready so collecting that tomorrow :) Getting all the bits in place for the 423 engine build so that should start in the next few weeks! Just need to order the 7 1/4” clutch for the lightweight flywheel.
Over the next week i’m going to be...
Yes mate I just had a look at TSL and was looking at the TSL times in comparison to the Clio cup are better than at Donington for example which is good to say I didn’t have the dog box in and also on 18 month old shonky tyres :)
Anyone got any idea of lap times round Brands GP? Just looked at the data from the other day and have a best of 1:45.1 but don’t know if thats pants or decent?
Yes mate was epic!
Yes 421 engine making 209bhp so nothing mental and std box with gripper diff, std CW&P and shorter fifth. The chassis is in a great place at last and really going well. I was on 18 month old very worn tyres but still tons of grip and could really push on. Videos to follow on...
Well I'm not sure how I'm going to beat a trackday like that ever again. Was one of if not the best days I've ever had in the Clio. The car was faultless and got a real hammering all day. It felt like I was on track most of the day!
On arrival I was quite dubious as it was nearly all GT race...
Yes great to see you too mate :) sorry you didn't come 20 mins earlier or you could of come out for a session :)
Not at all buddy just appreciated getting out in the car. Was odd without the close ratios but still lots of fun :)
Head is looking great thank you Andrew.
