well, the first track day as a great success, she ran perfectly all day - didnt miss a beat once!!
there was some big boys toys there today, caterhams, hayabusa powered kit cars, and some sort of Chevron monster - but we held our own against the cars more in our league.
Here are some of the pics of the day:
it was a cold morning...
Then managed to pass the sound test,
move please type r...
Final result of the day - bald tyres

nice project, The only thing that im going to say is that that rear window really lets the car down it looks GASH!!! Apart from that its a great track toy with lots of umphhh 
well done

Kev, Cost is a big factor... Black rivets tho!!!! do it do it do it do it
The bolts are there for a reason, rivets just won't hold it due to the multiple curves. Tbh a few bolts in the back window are the least of our worries when there's a big slash in the bonnet, a crease all down the drivers side and number plates which say shed, if you haven't guessed from the rest of the thread the idea was to have it looking gash, it's not meant to be pretty.

How did it handle? looking at that pic there is alot of rake on it.
2.2 bar shed.
Unsure, my mate ghetto'ed them himself and got another 1500 miles and 2 track days out of a set. Unsure personally. Someone will probably chirp up though?

Fairly well mate, when we dropped the 888s to 27 PSI it was better. We need to take the height out of the rear I think!

Was good to meet you mate. Some good shots too!! Still trying to find out what happened to that big Yank car..
Evo 5 RS
great stuff, and loving the n-plate! Shame about the box

Ta mate, yeah its a light hearted trackday toy, does the business and is fun to drive. Fair play to the guys that spend ££££££ and have them looking like minters too but f**k that, we want to abuse the thing!
Box was always a risk with us buying it as a cat D but we can get a recon for cheapish and fit ourselves!

aye if you can keep that up through summer you'll be laughing

Busy day today, aircon gubbins removed
Front end stripped
Old mounts gone and Laguna ones fitted
Kangoo alternator fited
Never had to tweak the power steering pipe much either, just a tiny bit with a pair of pliers and it all bolts up! Sits right against the clutch adjuster on the right hand side of the bay but its all good.
All the gubbins removed........

Is it just me or when describing us removing the engine weight the attached picture just makes it look like we've removed the engine mount haha. And the less said about carbon canister removal the better I think. Although a picture of my mums face when I suggested doin my own stitches with some black cotton thread I found would have been very comical.
