Boris' First Track Day As a Boosted Bus.

[dann2707]

Finally found some time to upload these on the computer...

This was from my first track day (Blyton Park) after doing the megane 225 engine and gearbox conversion so as you can imagine it was a tentative day for me.

A few things to note really:

1 - I probably wouldn't have paid for these photos from the track day as they're not AMAZING... but it's kinda sentimental as it's the first one i've done after the conversion and some are good.
2 - I was taking it fairly steady with it being my first track day after the whole overhaul of pretty much..everything.
3 - The weather was rubbish towards the end of the day but it made for some great power slides. See the video below
4 - I wish i'd cleaned my f**king intercooler! That black jizz stain is peeing me off on the photos hahas
5 - The car went really well, I have some driveshaft rubbing issues, the springs are too soft especially now it's got a heavy old lump up front and I lost my brakes at 100mph so that was fun. Overall a f**king ace shake down for the boosted mobile.
6 - No one and I mean no one looks good in an open faced helmet I look like Yoda but a fat one and i'm not even fat ffs.


I'll be honest, the drive home was quite a humbling feeling knowing that i've done it all in my garage and it got me there and back and thrashed throughout. Enough waffling lets go.

Sounds like a great day out - especially with all the work you've done yourself. I quite like a lot of those photos and like you say, the sentimental attachment to them being from the cars' first day out, will add something.

When you mention it has a Meg engine - is it boosted further than OEM in anyway?

Thanks mate!
It is slightly, it's not properly mapped yet due to issues but it has a big turbo on and bigger injectors so it's capable of 300bhp it just needs to be mapped. Should be great when done!
