Hi mate, firstly I have to say im mighty impressed with your driving skills and the speed you managed to carry at Donnington on Sunday .

You were propperly shifting man!

I was behind you(in the Evo) for around 3 laps when you were batteling with the Merc on the last session.
I had Lee_R21Turbo out as a passenger and we couldnt believe the speed you were carrying, not just on the straights but through the bends.

So the big question: whats the spec/setup? as it was by far the fastest RST in Class C.

 

Any footage?

 

@ Andy R,thanks for comments,only yourself and about 2 other people have commented on here about my cars performance on Sunday,proves that if youre not one of the big horsepower boys people dont want to know ya!!!!

Anyhows,heres the spec.

The engine is standard except for a Piper 285T cam,hybred turbo,GRS intercooler,Magnex exhaust,K&N cone filter and set up by Mark Sheed of MA Developments.We ran 16 psi of boost on Sunday.
The suspension is Koni top adjustable shocks,lowered 35 mm on Chassis Dynamics springs and fully polybushed front and rear.
Brakes are 285 mm disc's and Austin Rover Princess 4 pots up front,XR4X4 rear disc's and rear 2WD Cossie calipers on the back.
Shell is striped out,with 2 bucket seats and a 6 point bolt in OMP cage.

Power output is about 185 BHP,not very much,but very reliable.The car was built on a low budget,but is very well maintained.There's nothing exoctic on the car and I'd guess there's 1,000's of RST's in Britian with my spec.I've come across a few pictures of my car from Nat Day on the board so far.All the best,Micky

 

Micky, that makes it all the more impressive the speed was staggering for the spec Fair Play

I do have video footage (ropey though; as the camera was a last min. thought) unfortunatley the view is from the passenger side of the car

It does however show just how fast you were lapping, as soon as I get it on to disk, I'll sort a copy out for you.

You & your car definatly deserve credit, very VERY fast!!

Nice one

 

Hi Micky,

What tyres were you running? Slicks?

 

Awsome pal as alwyas ya was shiftin very well , pity when we put the slicks on as it was bye bye mickey only jokin pal and thanks for the impression of ya bumper in my rear pmsl that was well funny dont think ya dad was to happy lol when i spoke to him lol

cya next year @ croft n donno pal respect.
Tim

 

Micky was on slicks yes John, but as modest as he is he can certainly drive it well

 

@ Andy R,thanks again for youre positive comments and please contact me when you have a copy of the track action on disc,just pm me and I'll get my address to you.Thanks very much for doing this for me.

@Tim,as always I enjoyed every second of tracktime when we was running together on track.There wouldnt be too many other drivers who I'd trust on track to get so close to,espeically in the bends like we were for them 4 mad laps. Oh and youre a cheeky barsteward,you was not dropping me when you went to slicks,you was lapping the same times as me! And I'll be back across the water next year,Croft and Donno will be cool!!!

All the best,Micky

 

Now now micky get ya sig altered i have lol

Lovely track car

 

Top car!!! I remember seeing it ages back!

Loving the blue wheels

 

Lovely car - was about the only thing that was anywhere near as quick as tony's 16i at croft - u proper shocked me!

I think u have more than 180hp with that spec Micky

 

Agreed the car was flying sunday! Respect Micky!

 

Whats going on here... your not at work now you know

 

Ah,well Tony,trying too hard I was!! Who says you cant get the back out on FWD cars??? Thats the right into the chicane at the end of the back straight/front straight,3rd gear and reckon its about 55 MPH in that picture. Am just in from driving the cab oddly enough!!And yesterday I ordered that very picture in a large format size.

And Tim,I took you're advice and changed my sig,hope you like it!! Plus youre kind off right about only us 3 on track against the Cossie's,would love to see more of the RST's from Passionford out with us,would be brill.

All the best,micky

 

nice 1 pal made me piss that sig lol

 

I want to start getting on track next year so i may be another person on your "ass whoop" list
