[Trackday_Prep] My Track Toy

[alexcrosse 124]

Looks like fairly decent size 3mm spreader plates on the boot floor, right by the subframe... so I'm sure it will be more than man enough.

 

Cornered in anger yet?

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

No, wet concrete road and it pretty much just gripped and went in a straightline.

[alexcrosse 124]

lol you'll like it its mega Whole gearbox is a little gem.

 

Any ideas on the first outing?

[kyepan 291]

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

lol you'll like it its mega Whole gearbox is a little gem.

With the current alignment its a bit snatchy lol.

 

Combe on 7th march I think.

[alexcrosse 124]

lol. Might as well weld it to the rear arches.

Thanks for everyones concern for my well being and the cage install;)

 

Not planning to test it out but I am sure on track if should be better than with no cage. If things get a bit more serious I may well add extra bars to the cage and to the front strut mounts.

Arch and door done

Heat gun?

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Yes

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Strangely leccy windows dont work since fitting the gti 6 but I can find any reason.

Was going to fit windy windows from other shell but cage makes them a pain so going to fit the plastic windows I have.

Taxed and castle combe booked for friday

[alexcrosse 124]

Welcome to them cheap lol, no used to me, got some pre cut donor doors for them too!

 

Enjoy combe! Don't think I'm going to have a toy all year, very jealous!

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

If the doors are dark grey then makes sense but suspect they are white?

[alexcrosse 124]

Gel coat still, rattle cans required

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

fibreglass doors?

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

CastleCombe was fun.. I didn't push it too hard as it didnt inspirt confidence under heavy breaking - felt like too much rear breaking especially in the wet so will investigate.. also drove it the 125miles there and then back lol will trailer it next time but good day had anyway..

Needs the longer gearing put in as hitting the limiter in 5th on two places on track.

Cool photos!

[rallyeash 155]

Nice pictures. Combes an awesome track. It's surprising how quick a circuit it is actually, I pull near on 130 coming up over avon rise and that's around 7k In fifth.

 

What speed does yours hit the limiter?

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

About 110ish. Was holding it just off the limiter way to long towards avon rise lol.
