Goodevening!
My name is Marjolein, I am 22 years old (almost 23 :rasp
and I am from the Netherlands.
I am driving a circuit build Clio. First it was my daily, but after a crash on circuit Zandvoort we decided to keep this as a race-car.
First a little resume of what we did to the car before the crash:
Rear breakpads
Finally.. after weeks of almost every night working on the Clio..
The first time for the MOT: Passed!
Proud of my car!
After that.. friends of mine race.. so I thought.. let's give that a shot..
So bought some tickets for 'free driving'.
I thought I wasn't showing off enough with my car.. so I made some parts pink! And offcourse I had to race a little bit more..
And more..
Bought some original Speedline rims and offcourse they had to be made pink..
I make my own stickers, so I had to make myself some advertising:
But.. since it was an completely original car.. Not lowered (is that how you say it?), but I had the backseat removed and the spare wheel.. So I had not the usual of weight in the back. And yes.. It had to go wrong someday.
And it did. I was driving with a speed of something about 160 km/ph, and on the Zandvoort track we have a bump that's called 'Scheivlak'. It's known as a bump where a lot of people crash. So the car broke out, I could not correct it and went into the gravel, straight to the guardrail. Unfortunately I was still trying to correct the car, scooped gravel and made a roll over.
Well pictures say alot more then some words:
I was completely constricted by the ambulance staff and was not allowed to move any more, so some luck: I did not suffer from a 'lap of shame "lol.
This everything happened on the 8th of April, my dad immediatly tried to help me and started to recover the car..
April 12th:
May 7th:
Still a women... :clown:
We've put the front on 2.6 negative camber and we also have a set of Bilstein mounted and in the front some Eibach lowering springs. :rasp:
Some welding to do...
And offcourse the most important thing: Safety.
Some extra pressure on the rear.
A lot of putty and sandig.. A LOT!
New paint job:
And then that thing that is the most fun: Rebuilding!
Almost ready!
And for now.. we've also placed the battery in the back of the car and now we are making an special box to replace the air filter into the space of my headlight. Today I also received my new chip for the car, this week we are going to do the finishing touch. This Sunday I am testing the car in Assen on the motorcircuit there. And the 16th of September I am competing in Time Attack (the Dutch version of it). It's going the be the first time for me, so I'm pretty nervous tho!
Let me know what you think of the car, I'm very curious
