lol thats some serious time to make a brew. got to be the slowest boiling kettle ever :)
 
Ha lol il remember that next time ;)


Sorting out the bonnet this week, and spraying it at the weekend, I need to tidy my garage first though lol
 
Unforunately not mate, cant afford it this year as the Clio's just not ready, Iv got a fair few bits to tidy up before I show it too much, like my wheels etc.

Though im at Combe this coming Saturday though :)

I might be tempted to have a few laps!
 
Saw the car on Friday after persuading Russ to give up his lunch break! You can see there's been allot of work done to get it running. Its a credit to him and he's proved quite a few people wrong by doing it.

Car looks great as always mate and now sounds awesome!

I've started saving for when you bring out your own T/B conversion kit ;)
 
Ha lol, cheers matey!

It will be nice one its finished off,(Though are they ever finished? Mine never will be!) it will be off the road for a little bit again soon as I need to remove a few bits to change a few designs.
 
Aha! So that's what you've been up to you crafty bugger... ;)

Hat off to you for the work carried out mate (and to Paul for the mapping). Fantastic results and I'm very jealous. :cool: I look forward to seeing the results in the flesh soon.

It was great to catch up earlier on the blower and hopefully we can hook up soon.

Cheers,
Andy
 
Was good to have a chat again Andy, we always leave it too long!

Thank you for the kind words, We will have to sort something out, and you can take her for a spin, see what you think!

Looking good like the homebrew nature of it!

Will have to come find you/car.. what stand you on?

Taking mine on track a few times as well got some nice lairy wheels so should be seen :o
 
With my club BSE motorsport mate, our stand will be behind the food vans, roughly in the middle of the paddock :) (and you need to pop on BSE more too ;))
 
Hmm good point, although would prob of got some more track time though if I had done that..

Will pop over once i've been out on the 9.30 session :S far too early!

Mine will be right up by Merlin surrounded by random Fiats and whatever else turns up it's normally an "interesting" stand..

Anyway enough spam in here sorry :o

Edit: Another excuse is similar to yours but 3months younger! lol
 
Have some photos.

Cheers Sam, good pics! :D

Needs more Rover... :rasp: Vids I took of it have just come out as wind noise. Need to get my GoPro's glued to it at some point.

Needs cams though ;)
 
Hey mate, missed you today did wander over to your car whilst munching my overpriced burger but didn;t spot you..

You were out on one session the same time as me but didn;t see you on the track..
Typically I messed up recording all my sessions though :o

One with the subtle wheels.. yep :cool:

How many sessions did you do?

Did speak to the guy with the Turbo 172 Cup but also saw a silver ph1 and another silver ph2..
 
Yeah, you never gave me a wave back :( lol

Only the 1 mate, backs giving me agony so didnt want to push it.


Wasnt great, too much traffic, was only running around a 1 min 28


I thought that cup was going well, that explains why!


I saw the silver ph1, looked very clean!

Spoke to the chap with the 02 reg silver ph2, had been to ktec for matched inlets, cams and decat.


Only got passed by the track 205 with the 3.0 V6 in, and some yellow caterfield thing, passed a few 'faster' cars though, one being a caged 944, and a few big powe r Saabs
 
Ermm hate to break it too you but that 944 was shocking! ;)

I didn't see you wave :o

Was a really quiet day though not as full sessions as normally, they even put the prices down after 3.30pm.. went out 3 times and each time only had that damn MG go past me :rolleyes:

Yeah it was going well but my konis and 888's certainly showed his Vmax's up as even he pointed out!

Cant believe just how much difference some decent tyres and suspension has made though!

Let me know next Trackday BSE organises though! :cool:
 
It was mate, he was really slow through the bends, then nailed it on the striaghts, still i was pulling on him on the straights what made me :)

That MG has been going for years, proper quick.

The whole day was a lot more quiet than I was expecting, apart from that session I was in! I wish I had gone in the same lane as you mate, I was stuck right in the middle of all the traffic and spent my laps picking through it all :(
 
if the silver Ph1 was next to a track nova and track 205 then that was mine, and it was filthy, so should have cleaned it now lol
 
Now back off the road for a few weeks(Unless I really miss the noise lol), planning on making up a few new brackets, finish off my bonnet, pics will follow :)
 
yep that was mine lol, i was going round in the 205, my session got stopped though :( was running well, and the nova lost 5th and 6th, collosal down the straights but then again, it did have 418bhp and 410lbs torque lol haha
