**1st May cumbrian run out**

[Gib#244]

Well it had to go in here due to no clios! was a fantastic run out. The weather was fantastic (apart from the wind!) used a full tank of fuel in the meg and also tested to see what it can do!
Overhall I was very pleased with how it handled the bumps and corners....

On with the pics!!

Who invited the RAC?!

good pics gib, best bit for me was first run up to hartside from brampton... not the most scenic roads of the day but relatively quiet

 

[Fletcher]

Looks like a good run Rich!

 

[Gib#244]

Yeah I think that was the best part - not many folk on the road and was done at a fast pace! excellent!!

road got full sunday drivers after dinner

 

[Gt rob]

[jamier27]

[Šįk]

glad the MPS is ok. (5pence-50pence-5pence-50pence..) LOL.

 

[TimR26]

Looks like you had good weather for it

Has the R26 had much work done to it?

And what happened to the MPS?

 

[Šįk]

mps couldnt handle the twisties n lost it flol hehe.

 

[jamier27]

lol
my fault took my eye off the road for a sec round a corner and two wheels fell off the road on shillies and lost traction... was lucky really

 

[Gib#244]

Nope mate only itg panel filter fitted! To R26.....it's mine! Was very impressed how it went for a standard motor!

 

[Nashy]

You should get Stage 2 done it's well worth it

 

[Fletcher]

You should get Stage 2 done it's well worth it

Until the engine goes pop/bang

 

[Gib#244]

You should get Stage 2 done it's well worth it

Nope, not going down that route of spending loads of cash on it. Just getting a stage 1 remap and thats it! I was more than impressed with how it went on the run out. The blue FRS owner was also impressed at how it held the road at speed, and looked planted in the corners.

If the exhaust drops off, then I'll look for a better one - but not replacing parts that don't need to be replaced.

plus with stage 2 I have read its best off changing the injectors, uprating the clutch and fly wheel too (all extra cash!)

 

[Šįk]

I agree gib.

 

[Gib#244]

Not worth it TBH piers! a simple stage one will make me more than happy!

 

[hollandcup]

Nice selection of cars, looked a good run out.

How did the r26 compare to the mps and frs?

 

[Wick]

Looks like a great area for a run out, jealous of those roads!!

PSJ - The 7 looks brilliant and is even dwarfed by the Elise

 

[Šįk]

Cheers Wick. Yea can't believe how small it looks in the photo's lol.

The red mps..... Hmmm it's running over 300bhp so on the straights there was no challenge, the frs I kept up with the blue one (he might of not been trying) but we where doing some speeds into corners and flat out on the straights we were both equally matched. The matt black lotus was hard to keep up with!!
