This cheap track day toy is becoming addictive, spent a bit of time this morning fitting these

 

 

No camber on old avo front shocks

Some added on the new coilovers

 

Might even wash it now.

Looks great mate. Tyre wear and cornering better with the camber? Or didn't it get dry enough to tell?

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Much better but the cadwell doesnt just have lefthand bends either lol

Well everything is getting a little more serious.. been offered small amount of sponsorship to do a round of time attack later this year in the car.. I am due another operation which will put me out of action for track driving for 6weeks or so... trying to get a trackday in next week if possible but not sure exactly when operation is yet.

 

In the mean time I have bought fibreglass boot, bonnet and passenger door off ebay, all need a little work and ordered a new drivers door off ecosse.

 

Need to get them all fitting as nicely as possible and painted, fit plastic rear windows, remove sunroof, change gearing to that it does more than 105-110mph

 

I have swapped out the OMP bucket seats as I seem to suit Sparco's better as my back was killing me after Cadwell, I possible need a slimmer driver seat but at least my back should be okay

oh and need to fit the new gearknob

[rallyeash 155]

What class and other cars will you be against in time attack?

 

I fancy doing something in mine you see.

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

I presume NA class. Think a fiesta st and an astra vxr and a civic. Which doesnt sound much but they were pretty quick at first round at silverstone

[alexcrosse 124]

I'll be interested to see how you get on with that. Make sure you're fixed by November and I'll spanner for you at brands if you want.

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Aiming for brands im november yes

May well take you up on that Alex.

If op isnt before next wednesday and I can get a place I intend doing a track evening at brands

[alexcrosse 124]

Cool just let me know happy to help

[Gman 29]

Astra VXR won't be in NA class, but you should fair well against Civic's although they do punch out a fair bit of power with good breathing mods alone

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Yeah sorry an astra of some kind

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

My bad. Two civics. The spoox 205 for some reason ran in fwd not na.

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

It says on website he asked to.

 

The black civic has had an engine change I believe

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Snetterton trackday done yesterday

 

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Have expressed interest in doing time attack at cadwell in august. I wont have masses of time to prep the car because I need to spend time on my drag car which I am driving st ten of the best at the end of July.

 

Started fitting fibreglass bonnet today.
