Default spent the day blinging up the track car!

Had some spare vented rear calipers laying around the unit so I rebuilt them and then found some paint laid around so it seemed a shame not to paint them even if it's only a track car..

the shonky worn out original xr4x4 disks



removed the bearing carrier to fit the granada cosworth ones



which are bigger to allow the larger 4x4 cosworth disks to fit



done!!! very bling lol

Car is all ready for croft now

i came off the track just before the back corner,slide across the grass then bumped back onto the track facing the oncoming traffic , i did a J turn on track and we were away again.

when we came off though it managed to rip the diff off the sump so i was loosing oil...game ovet then...but it was the 2nd to last session iirc.

Clice i will be there both days,on track sunday hopefully in the escort,if not i will be in the 3 door.

i WILL be on track though.

not done any this year.
