Id put the bare minimum on the trailer mate. Get as much as you can inside the tow vehicle.

Brian James Minno. I have the same one.

There isn’t a market for bespoke cleaning. Well there is but not newcomers. Lots of high end cleaners out there and to the masses, it’s a waste of money. If I was you I’d start out basic. Offer basic services for reasonable money. A wash, vac, polish all the glass and slick the tyres/black the...

I had my full cage painted outside of the car and it cost me £240 plus VAT. That was for basic 2 pack black.

Get some driving tuition. Will be the best money you spend con terms of making you faster.

No idea mate sorry. they're 15 inch steel wheels off a 2000-2003 Scenic, painted silver.

As you can see here, mine has ALLLLLL of the lean, but no scrub.

I have this set up (because @Brigsy is a f**king legend!) and other than hitting a big bump on track mid corner, the front never rubs.

Got any bits left over??

I have a Brian James micro max that I use to tow my Mk1 clio. I use an old PD130 Passat to tow it. (Don’t have towing category on my licence so this is my absolute limit!) to tow either my clio or a smart car, it’s perfect. For everything else it is utterly useless. can be bought from £1000...

Done 4 track days since June 15th and so far weather has been perfect every time. Got two this month and I can’t see my luck holding out this far. 🤦‍♂️

Good evening all! Looking for new suspension for my Mk1. it’s a track only car so I want proper kit, budget of about a grand. Can anyone recommend something?? currently on FK’s as they were very cheap and brand new. But they’re not manly enough I don’t think. I’ve tried them on the stiffest...

Even though I have one of these myself - that I’m immensely proud of - this one looks Stunning in the pics. Clean and tidy and basically looks like it was actually made like it. Cracking little van!

Utterly Heroic purchase. Decat, open cone filter and a map and she’ll sound and go much better.

Here’s my take on expensive waxes; If you like cleaning your car regularly (I used to clean mine every week without fail) then an expensive wax is a waste of time. You don’t need durability if you’re cleaning your car every 7 days. If you’re not into cleaning your cars and you clean it maybe...

Have you checked your wheel bolts??

Exactly. Might cost you about £5 more for a tank of fuel but I’ll gladly pay that to not have to carry Jerry cans to and from the track.

It’s all original paint, original panels, never been welded etc. It’s dog rough but it’s in the Bodyshop now so should Hopefully be a nice base to start on when I get it back. 🤞

Flol!! Mate you really wouldn’t. It’s horrible.

On both my wets and dry’s, I run 25psi Cold in the front (about 30/32 hot) and 30 psi Cold in the rear, which is about 32/35 hot.

I very very nearly messaged you about this the day before I went to see the Sierra that I ended up buying.

Just done a Mini with the same issue. Took nearly 2 full days. Keep the car in the shade and nice and cool. Soak it in Tar and Glue remover. (Tardis, Autoglym etc etc) leave it for an hour, re soak it in the same again. Leave an hour, re soak. Then, get a Toffee wheel on a drill. (Plenty on...

We took the Mac book and downloaded the stuff every time we were having a break. As for batteries, they lasted about 2 hours? But we have 4 spares on permanent charge in the van so just swapped them round all day. I’m going to get a power lead though, it’s too much faffing around for my...

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.
