Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Yeah he said he had a chat, ironic that you two were left sitting with same issue, bloody cold I bet too......that's becoming one of my spares now. Yeah his motor goes pretty well for what it is with slicks on, he wasn't home untill midnight, long day.
Yeah definitely, I have still not been round KH in a Clio
my mates westfield was an eyeopener though . First Track Scotland day of next year will be my first outing at KH in the Clio, driving etiquette there was good, not any £300 bangers being hero's either.

Cheers for that Gaz but I have the keys on me so would need to head back to the sis-in-laws anyway. Dave might say he'd prefer that though.

Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Gaz was saying you had to work. I'll catch you next time and get you out hopefully for some passenger laps.
We kept each other company and it was comforting knowing each of us had the same issue to cry about. Lol
Glad he got home but it was an even longer day for him.
The driving standard at these days is always very good and as you would have seen the cars are too. That Ferrari was giving me a semi I have to admit! There was 1 or 2 offs but it seemed to be the expensive standard cars that were going off, m3 and the Toyota gt86 thingy looked expensive mistakes.
Alternator would be 1 of my spares now if I was going racing for sure if it's done some mileage.
shame about the alternator steven and hope its an easy fix for you, couldnt get up yesterday been too busy with work
looking forward to seeing this wee beaut fully mapped and back on track

Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Missed the Ferrari out on track the Formula Ford champion was driving as well. I was told the gt86 was trying to drift everywhere, never going to end well going through the chicane, I was out on track while he was trying to get out the tyres, he did a bolt pretty quickly from KH. Do you know the guy in the Clio that rolled over, I want to see a video of that one.

Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Not surprised he went off then trying to drift through there.
Didn't know the guy in the Clio that rolled but felt bad for him. That was his first trackday in that direction and he rolled it before i had even been out on track so must have been in his first couple of laps. Managed to sell it on to some vulture from here called Fraser. :rasp:
Fraz, can I have the alternator please?

Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Aye did feel sorry for him, I thought about putting in a bid myself for some bits, maybe a bit soon for him lol but obviously not. Rare colour as well.
Your cars going well in the the video. Does it offer to spin out of mcintyres and hairpin?

Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Happy to a degree but definitely needs more mapping work. Car felt good but also needs the suspension geometry done before it is on track again. It got pass marks but could do better.
Wondered where you'd gone. It was good you could at least pop along for a bit. I'll not be out now till next year, probably February. Do you think you'll be ready for a blast in yours by then?
Cheers for that. I kept meaning to get some outside shots filmed so I could hear what it sounded like doing a drive by but never. Does sound good though. I'll get the mrs to film me doing 60 in second up the street. Lol
I know, someone had to buy it as a scrappy had already approached him so its better to be sold in to the Clio community than a business. Like your style though but thought Gaz was going to steel it with that extra quid he offered. Ha
Half the car was sold before it even left the paddock area. I'd get your order in soon before they're all gone. Just make sure it wasn't the windscreen, roof or doors you want as they were fooked.
Wheel spin was bad particularly at the hairpin but I just had to feather the throttle a little. I was taking it very easy with the downshifts and not over revving it but I was happy that other than the alternator, everything else came through well. Before it goes back on track it will be fully mapped, oil drip from the turbo drain fixed and the sticky rear caviller changed.

Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Little Christmas eve update!
Finally got an alternator to get the car running again just in time before the engine is removed.
Thought I'd go for a change in direction on my turbo setup. I was offered a Garrett gt2960rs with log manifold, down pipe, deka 630cc injectors at a very good price so decided to go with it after hearing very good results from this setup to replace my megane
225 td04 and 440cc's. My megane 225 exhaust manifold, miltek down pipe, link pipe, turbo, inlet manifold, injectors and some boost pipes will be up for sale shortly. The engine needs to come out to get some niggles sorted out so I'll fit this little lot when its out.
Also got some rear hub spacers made with a 1deg of camber machined onto them. Hopefully get these fitted too.
If it would just stop raining for 1 afternoon I could get the engine out and get started on the turbo changes but it is the UK after all.

Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Got my new alternator fitted the other day but even with a jump off my Impreza the battery was too flat to even turn the starter motor. So yesterday my new ctek mxs5.0 battery charger arrived and got it connected up and left to charge overnight. Tried again this morning and it fired up first time. Must say I'm very impressed with the charger and would recommend then to anyone with an occasional car.
Took it for a drive before the mot and tax run out on Tuesday and forgot what it felt like to spin in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and then into 4th. Got knows what over 300hp will be like with new setup. Just feels so torquey!
Need to get started on getting the engine out now but it's just so cold! Lol

Re: 172 Cup track toy!
Started fitting my OMP 6 point cage today with the help focrs and his welding skills. Didn't get as far as welding due to another poor fitting cage and useless platforms that are going to be binned.
Had a read through some other people's experiences with this cage and see that no one uses the OMP platforms so we're going to make our own. The platforms for the main hoop are about 25mm too low if you line the lug up with the seat belt strap bolt on the b pillar.
And is about 10mm away from the rear arch.
The front hoop is too wide at the feet and will take some pulling to get it to fit but nothing a couple of ratchet straps won't fix. I seen on bombers thread when he fitted his that the front platform was only about 25mm high. When we tried the front hoop, it looked like the front hoop feet could be on a 75mm platform which would mean the cage would sit closer to the roof above the windscreen which I would have thought would be better.
Also need to get some spacers to fit behind the main hoop lugs and the seat belt holes.
Finally a shot of the rear half of the cage.
Not decided on a colour for it yet but it's between white and orange. Think I might paint the interior white so orange might suit the cage better. Any thoughts?
