You have a lot to answer for - see you Saturday!
Are there too many O'S and C's in that?

Pmsl, maybe one or two.
My car has no logbook,,, I nicked it! I'll try not to get in your way when you lap me!
I understand, I'll let you past!

No it wouldn't - not in my book!
Need to clarify this - my car has a logbook and is legit.
Ok, If we are clarifying things then I should too as it sounds as if I'm against hub mods, Which I'm not,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I joined this series because of the Club feel and the freedom to build your car as you wish, Running in stockhatch years ago was a ball ache due to restrictions,
I wanted to make James aware of the regs that have been "proposed" so that we could push Steve V to amend them to allow hub mods, Seems a bit silly to allow spherical bearings and rose joints only to restrict other parts that compliment said components.
My car does have a logbook, lol
I remember years ago in the MGF series a competitor was well known for racing nicked cars, anyone remember?
Joking aside, I think that Steve puts a set of regs together to satisfy the MSA. We all want to make the FT (or whatever it's going to be called) a success. We always work within the regs - and more to point In the spirit of them. Anyone who knows me, knows that they can ask me anything about my car and they will get an honest answer, they can jack it up and have a look underneath. Please remember we have spent 6 years developing this car and I have been building race cars (as a hobby) for over 30 years.

When do you want them for? It's pushing it to get them done for you so you can test them at oulton, but the following race shouldn't be an issue. And contrary to popular belief, it wouldn't cost you an arm and a leg either. Serious as well. We can get them done.
That puts things in a pickle doesn't it. Lol
Send me the invoice, lol

No worries. You want lightweight drive flanges too? Oh and you may as well have billet rear 2 piece bearing assemblies as well while your at it.
Yes Mark its a real shame proper gutted but its the only sensible thing I can do I think

Thanks Ben
There you go Len!
My eye's obviously aren't very good tracking gauges! I got the camber near enough even both sides but the toe was a little out
All sorted now though with quite a different setup to normal to try and overcome some of the tyre issues i've been having so see how that goes. Need more caster!
You need to do what Stu did with his 106.
As Ed says. But looking at tin top rules it's VERY vague anyway
It says you have to keep the original pick up points, but you can fit adjustable parts.
If the existing top mount holes where kept then you could say that's the original pick up points. Then oval the hole out and fit an adjustable mount to allow more caster. Arguably would be fine

Yeah the lack of space in the turret isnt good, although top of a coilover is smaller than of a normal shock so there must be "some" room for movement?
Yeah actually now I've looked at it you're right - you'd have to chop the top of the turret and weld a new one in. Silly design
.? LoL funny enough I have a car that would suit this championship.........Mallory lap times weren't that impressive to be honest 2 secs a lap quicker is about right for a good clio.

I see this is going to be a spicey weekend.
Drop Steve Vince an email at Track Attack Racing I'm sure he will welcome the late entry for Oulton and it will be good to have another Clio out. See you Saturday and we'll all look forward to a master class!
Funnily enough, I agree with you about the lap times - a no-expense spared, well developed Clio with a good experienced driver, should be looking at low 52's all day long.

Chop turret tops right out, rebuild with tube and wang the plate in that...
holla!!
holla!!
Thanks i wasnt saying it for effect it just true is you compare time from other race series in 2ltr class tin tops.
Prob will have a car ready for next year as the Rally car is the focus currently.
Yes Stu that is similar to what I had planned to do to it last winter but never got round to it. Pure Motorsport are making a kit as we speak to weld on which will give adjustable topmounts and also some other nice trick features

BMW compact cup cars are way slower, for eg.
