Thanks for the comments!
Still needs a bit of cosmetic work but its pretty close to where I want it for now. Just need to sort a few track sessions now before the end of the year!
After putting it through an Mot yesterday morning i thought I'd take the track car out and grab some pics. So glad I dont drive it daily anymore lol the rattles were killing me after 5 mins! Once moving though I remember why I love driving it, feels so much more planted and eager than the 172...
New brakes fitted this week. Got slowed down by the weather and one rear caliper being held on by 5 sided bolts..wtf!? Managed to smash and old spanned over them tho and replace with some normal bolts. Car is insured now so not long until its on the road and hopefully in time for a Brands...

Nice...
Thanks! Not sure on the flaming but it wont be as fun as it coming out the side!
Yeah that's the one mate
Thanks! It is a superb colour and your turbo was the reason for me wanting one. Not booked anything up yet as I have to arrange days off with my old man as he tows it. Will hopefully get...
Finally had to say goodbye to the side exit today :( been on the car since I've had it and i will miss the sound but it just wont pass noise tests on track. Had to cut the cat to exhuast bolts as i hadnt had them off for years but other than that all came off easy.
Sidey is off!
