My 172 cup semi project



Grille stickers fitted, quite like the look

Booked a track day at Anglesey on the 3rd of October, so I needed track wheels, big pimping

Also picked up a second hand magnet exhaust as my standard one is blowing from everywhere and about to fall off.
No pics, but I have a plan for it, I don't want two 56" pipes sticking out the back...... So needs some careful alterations!
 
Bit of track prep, and a new wheel to replace that f**king horrific think renault thought was a nice steering wheel!!

Well, she did the track day without a hiccup, apart from tyre issues.
Car behaved faultlessly though, temperature gauge never once went over half, and the brakes where amazing all day, embarrassed some far more expensive machinery too!

I put these Dunlop's on the back, but the brand new federal's where awful on the front, so we switched then round, they weren't amazing when they went on, but this was after about 40 minutes on track!

Whoops! So we went to a local garage and I chucked a pair of old Michelin n20's in that I had acquired, they managed 2 laps before they caused a "slight" shaking......

So I manually swapped the less fucked Dunlop on with levers and a hammer and carried on with the mismatched pair on the rear, luckily once bed in the federal's worked very well on the front, but it got a little interesting when it rained with loads of grip on the front and none on the rear!

But she did all day
