very smart
Thanks Alot.
Been in London for a few days after FCS so not had a chance to update this thread.
Personally i found FCS to be a cracking day. I was lucky enough to be asked to go onto the 'Built Not Bought' Themed paddock, situated right in the centre of the show next to Performance French Car Magazine stand.
I was working the entire run up to FCS so didn't have time to give the car a full detail but it scrubbed up well for the day.
I think holding it at Combe is a great change, i know it's further for alot of people to travel but with a scene our size i thought it fitted perfectly and wasn't too cramped. (given Japfest is usualy at Combe and they get alot more people)
As expected i left the bonnet open all day on the saxo, got ALOT of attention and good comments, two blokes even said it was the car of the show for them.
I did find out that there is somthing about wrinkle paint which draws people in, with everyone having an urge to rub the rocker cover
anic:
Good to see a few faces that i haven't met before (Mathias, Beaniemoo, Luke, etc)
And good to see the odd old face, you know who all you are.
Car drove fantastically there and back, even showing up an Astra VXR at 130mph on my private runway on the return trip.
I'm hoping to get out on track at TRAX but track time seems to be mostly sold out. So i'll be joining in with some action days later this year instead and only getting a passenger band for TRAX.
Anyway, on with some pictures. Mostly other peoples so i don't take credit for all of these:
Future plans for the car? Nothing to mental this year.
The stereo will be coming out as i have not had it on since having ITB's, and a carbon panel going in with a SPA gauge and other bits.
Maybe a flocked dash
And a full suspension overhaul (new beam with bigger ARB, Group n's, coilover conversion and some form of adjustable top mounts if any come up second hand)
Then a full cage around January time, with full interior braided lines for fuel and brakes.
