Looking realy good Niath. Can't wait to see TDK on track.

Is there any more power to come out of it or is 270bhp its limit.
 
just spent hours doing a thread and it deleted FFS!

reete... start again..

busy next few weeks.... ordered new window regulators, new boot floor, new rear bumper, braided hoses, brake oil, new disks and having it all on and tinkered with too.

badges go back to lambo orange next wednesday, twas the colour the car was always meant to have. the LY has grown and grown on me but its time to change.

whilst i was up in preston at chips-away picking colours and having the stone chips looked at i decided to have to the car valeted, by a detailing unit next door, really happy with what they did, more so i can actually see the brake calipers now!

asw pic before shes all change.. and the unusual rain in manchester ;)

the car will be going to JD's next saturday for a pre season PC/machine polish, his quality of work goes without saying, my only issue is whether i should get the front bumper re-sprayed before hand as its like a Dalmatian!

last week had the exhaust remounted and checked over up at DANMAR in wigan, was welded and cleaned up,

yay clean and straight zortzorz!!1!

this weekend bigbob will be over to help me fit a switch that allows manual killing of the cars ESP, on road i will rarely/never use it, just the car has a habit of killing power on the limit (Rockingham chicane/Oulton). so with the manual override and the cup dampers i will regain much more control. It will be dash mounted too.

so next week fred will be fitting dampers,i'll hopefully be getting some goodies of Icarus, its off chips-away and jamies and i should receive my new sexy braided hoses (next day deliver, 4 days ago)

Good stuff Naith. Looking forward to seeing/hearing this at FCS. Get rid of the armrest mate that must weigh at least 2 ounces.;)
 
  you may know it, clio?
Naith, the RAF have asked for their fighter jet back.

Have heard about your car before but didnt get a chance to hear it on the track :(

Is it meant to sound like that? Compared to anything else on track it was very loud, but didn't look that quick.

Looked good though.

Saw you lording it up at the clubstand with your matching sunnies - missed you on track though!
Followed us on the way home for a bit too.

I wasn't putting it down. It sounded good, just very very loud, and yours was the only meg that sounded that way. Most of the time you were in traffic when I saw you and kinda expected you to pick cars off quite easily on the main straight.
 
fair one... but did you see the traffic out there, it was impossible to get into a rhythm. some of the driving was scary too...

i picked off cars and passed alot but i dont drive a supercar, the difference (up against what was essentially track prepped cars) is minimal so the fact i passed them and only got overtaken once all day is a testament to the old girl imo.



i'll progress the lead upto FCS when i get a moment

TDK is 997 quick in the straights, that time you gunned it on the slip road shocked me!

I was shocked at the noise it made...Seemed fast but "Shocked" is the only word i can say about the noise!!
