The Alpina is straight through from the Cat, it sounds crap apart from when its towing.

Lee it would be wrapping this. So: Nose cone (Removable) Bonnet (Removable) Scuttle (Removable) Sides (flat) Rear (flat) The front and rear wings would be left black/carbon. The rear wings are detachable so getting to the back should be fine. The only complex shape there is, is the nose...

I use a Garmin Virb currently. I'm not happy with the GPS refresh rate. So I think I'll go, Galaxy S6 using Harry's laptimer, 10hz GPS for position and speed and a bluetooth odb reader for the car data.

I just fancy doing bits of the kit car. No panels are that awkward really. Just think it'd be a good thing to learn.

Anyone done it?

What do you use?

Track pics!

Final session from Snett. Managed a 2:14.5 which I'm happy with.

You do realise you can offer finance too right on a private sale.

It was 4 years since it was last used in anger. Since then it'd done 36 miles. Picking Snetterton where on Bentley straight it was riding the rev limiter in 5th all the way down probably wasn't the best place to break it back in....

Snetterton was a blast. I've blown the seal on the gearbox and the seal on the diff though. Something to do over winter.

Dave doesn't map any more sadly. He hangs about a bit though. He didn't think we'd see over 190 with a 7800 rev limit. They did say the lotus lot would buy my engine for about the same money they could sell me a 260bhp 2.3 Duratec for. So thats an option in the future.

That article makes no sense, goes on about the danger angle, ignores there’s a support bar there to make the angle safe, then ties the harness to the support bar, which is unsafe. Those bars are designed to resist the downward pull of the harness straps and not a horizontal pull. There was a...

You do realise thats a harness guide bar and not something to attach them to?

Mapping day. First up was the cam timing. Turns out the exhaust cam was 8 degrees out. We did a compression test after that just in case. All was good though! Next up my 315cc injectors were first flow tested and then fitted. Car all strapped up for mapping. Car running on the...

Slim SGS 1.5 tonne one. Only thing that fits under a Westie. https://www.sgs-engineering.com/garage-equipment/trolley-jacks/tja15-aluminium-trolley-jack

Worst driving “sporty” front driver I’ve ever driven sadly. When I bought the Mrs one I was all giddy after owning my GP. Sadly the way it pulls about is awful and the 1st to 2nd change is weird due to the ratios. It’s well screwed together though and the Mrs likes pottering about in it.

Race rig is go. Ready for mapping tomorrow.

Going to Emerald for tuning for on Monday. So I thought I better tart the trailer up. Wheels looked like it used to live under water. Quick spray up

A bit like what the GoPro 4's can do? Basically making a cheap reversing camera for my trailer out of one.

Tell me what you go for. I'll buy the same. Volume discount yo! (cheeky pun in there)

Just to supply!

I was quoted nearly £600 for all that from Cotswold. Then a read the reviews saying it's shite lol

Same here. Volume is there but clarity isn't. Some replacement speakers would make the world of difference but I can't be arsed.

The only thing that lets mine down is the stereo

New tacho to test if the old one if funked....(The old one doesn't seem to do anything...)

The story before I had this car was such. It had two owners, the guy who built and raced it and a guy who bought it off the guy who raced it.... Well the second guy thought he'd do the car up a bit, he had it painted, bought a new steering wheel etc etc. He also had the cambelt changed. Sadly...

Cool car. Terrible plate.

Booked on at Snetterton in October. Best get it working...

I went to the Polo you bender.
