[richy]

as above, saw 2x ph1 172s(silver and red) aswell as a trophy and a few clio cup race cars.

anyone off here??

i was there in the black/orange mk1 hybrid, struggled with grip all morning it was greasy as!, was alot better when it started throwing it down later on!!

I was there with my silver 172 the one with the carbon bonnet,very slippery and damp track in the morning,and very wet in the afternoon,good day though enjoyed it,saw you out on track a couple of times,there was also a couple of sequential gearboxed 172 cup race cars also going well,I did a bit of video in the afternoon,I will post a link to it when I get it uploaded on utube.

I was there, the silver with carbon bonnet sounded epic. I was in the red/black/white ph1. Enjoyed giving most of the Honda boys a lesson .

 

[richy]

cool, i remember seeing you both out on track, think either i had just came out or was just going in most times though!

was only my 2nd time at oulton and first time i had no issues there lol either broke down before i got there or like the 1st time there misfires galore(old engine/car set-up etc)

i had a play with the white cup racer a couple times too.

you see the r26r go out on track late on? dont think it did many laps tbh

The standard R26 was very rapid, one of the quickest cars there. The R26R didn't really go for it at all.

yeah the black r26 was certainly motoring all day, the white evo 10 and nissan gtr were also flying about all afternoon! was good to watch them sliding around the chicane before druids!

The Evo had just come back from a remap, but the GTR was epic. They actually sound really good at full chat. The blonde passenger was even nicer!

 

[richy]

so what power was the evo running?? and agreed on the GTR, cant wait till my mates arrives, will be blagging a lift at least lol

is your car std engine wise, i noticed you had the airbox that looks like the espace one, although wasnt 100% sure tbh

 

[ForceIndia]

It's some sort of rig up, was like then when I bought the car.

Fishcake, what spec is your car running?

 

[type_rdriver]

Fishcake your car seems very quick!

 

[ForceIndia]

Sounded fantastic, shame the Trophy wasn't fit.

 

[fishcake]

Its just a standard 172 engine,with a decat scopion exhaust,carbon induction kit,spax suspension,tarox disc's and pads,stripped out inside,with a full cage fitted just incase.Could do with a LSD fitting,but its ok for a cheap bit of trackday fun.

Here's another one of me trying to keep up with new M3.
