Haha! f**king hell you lot are completely missing the point! You really think if I had the choice I'd rather have my clio than a brand new GTS?! Deluded!
It's hardly a review of which car is better, obviously the GTS is, and I'll happily admit the drive home was awful, stuck in traffic...
Yeah fuel pump, have a swirl pot set up in the spare wheel wheel - it is horrible! But need it for surge. I'll be making an enclosure for it soon, just haven't got round to it
Engine is the normal F4R, fully forged, GT2871r (genuine) etc etc. I've done 4 track days on it so far, and its not...
Here's a vid of one of the morning runs. I don't start pushing till about 4 mins in I think, lots of traffic too, but car goes really well round Brands
I was at Brands Hatch on Tuesday (17th April) was a cracking day for it, on slicks and car didn't miss a beat.
I bet this guy was a bit annoyed that he couldn't get away from me!
Hi All,
Been away from the forum for a while, as with most things, family work etc all get in the way! I've got a project thread on here too that needs updating (will be done over the next couple of days while I get the pics together!).
But thought I'd shove a spec list up and some latest...
Thank! Bit of a long story eh! Getting yours and Aydon's posts has given me a bit of motivations to do an update! So i'll try and get one out today, with some pics and vids too
Hello mate - nice talking to you, I'll let you know next time I'm heading down to Brands
I almost forgot all about this to be honest as photobucket wiped all the pics off, so thought it was pointless!
But now all the pics have found their way back, I need to do a major update!!
Yeah I was reading up about that, unfortunately mine isn't an SD cage. It's an OMP 6 point from about 10 years ago! No markings on it so can't trace the serial numbers etc. I thought it'd be ok with some door bars welded in.
Not sure on the rules around cutting the front section out and...
So I've hit an it of a stumbling block with this racing malarkey....my roll cage doesn't seem to meet the required regs anymore!! Seems the MSA changed the rules around dash dodgers a few years back!
So I think the plan for this year is to get the car running and do as many track days as I can...
I think the car will be ready before I will be lol! I'm hoping to book the ARDS by end of this month / early May. The hopefully get some funds together to get all the bits I had forgot about..
Race suit
HANs device and helmet
new harnesses as mine are out of date
fire extinguisher
check to...
Cheers! We still haven't managed to get that mini meet sorted have we?!
They're a bit brighter than what I was expecting haha! Hopefully so, I'm not expecting to be mega quick straight away, but a good place to start!
So in a nut shell. I had another baby May last year, which completely put a holt to all my plans of going racing last year. Probably for the best really! So over the last 8 months or so I've done and completed the following work...
Sourced a Phase 1 gearbox (longer 5th gear) and fitted a...
Again....quite a few months since I've updated this...
I've decided I'm going to try and make a leap into Time Attack. I've been toying with the idea for a few years but always talked myself out of it. So I decided to just do it!
That means updating some well overdue parts! See below for...
I shouldn't think this will last long matey. Everyone can say it's overpriced till they're blue in the face, but if they really think about the kit this comes with and the work that has gone into it, 10.5k seems reasonable to me! A really shame I haven't got 10k spare otherwise I'd snap it up!
I can if it's bone dry and tyres are good. If it's slightly damp no chance! Lit the wheels in 5th when it was raining at the weekend just trying to overtake on the motorway from 70!
