CSF done!
600 mile round trip in total. 130miles of that on track and the car performed well with hardly any issues. New brakes felt mega, and current ar1 tyres lasted the day.
Only casualty was bonnet pull failing at lunch time. My car ocd was going into overdrive worrying about fluid levels, but my pit garage mate said the bonnet is shut, not open - no problem there just send it 😅
Had a bit of faith in it, as it usually keeps the fluids in the right places, done all afternoon and drive home without opening the bonnet, dash oil level still showing max and coolant temps normal.
Got home and popped grill out and got it open in ten mins losing some skin in the process. Bonnet release cable had split at the joint under the bonnet, clipped it back together and zip tied to stop it happening again. Fluids still on max so didnt need to worry!
Passenger grill out
Latch puller
Crap 2 piece cable join
Fixed for good hopefully.
A few pics from the day.

Cheers mate. It does everything i need for a track car to be honest, fast enough, handles great. Poor mans R26R 😅

Cheers mate. I love the sound of it for a modified stock exhaust. Just the right tone in the car not too invasive.

Quickly washed it on Friday whilst i had the gear out. Rubber marks all over it from Anglesey, i think every panel had a reminder on it
With its intended use for track/fun/fast driving, i expect a few marks but everything came off quite easy. The coat of c2v3 i give it last week definitely helped.
Also give the spare set of compomotives a clean to get the dust off and a coat of Gtechniq c5 wheel armour yesterday to help with maintenance.
