Right assortment for the cars first outing , minis to Sports 2000's and everything in between . Damp to start with so slithered around a bit unable to get any data until 2nd session when i got the hammer down , went really well , good traction , brakes a bit iffy still , suspension and handling are perfect to begin with . The noise from the diff and the box are outrageous , flat out in 5th down the main straight and able to accelerate out of Paddock , never really been able to do that before . Some good flames out the back into Druids too ive been told .

Was just shakedown testing really , playing , surprised when my Wife ( holding the stop watch ) told me the fastest lap was under half a second slower than my best time in the last car DURING a Race !!
Obligatory pics .......













Off to silverstone on the 23rd !

 

Looks mint mate!!!!


How come u got a Team RS Van?

 

Very nice!

 

That Cossie looks

 

Quality

Looks remarkably similar to my old 3dr, and if thats the case watch out for 100s of pathetic lil bitches going on about the headlight strips

 

Thanks Steve,
If thats all i have to worry about im a happy man
The lights will be coming out next season when the sun shines, just the last 2 races of the season , you would n't believe how dark it was 1st thing this morning !

 

Looking good Tony

 

 

really nice tony

whens the first race?

 

October 23rd at Silverstone stowe . I will be changing the diff for the GP Race at Brands on Nov 20th tho .....Ive a bloody headache from the 4.8 and the rest of the noises from it , no rubber anywhere on this car , all rose joints and solid bolted .

 

I wish you still had those Dymag centre locks fitted , never had I seen such a sweeter looking 3 dooor

 

looking good mate

whats up with the front of the bumper tho - it seems to go up in the middle at the bottom where the splitter goes

 

fair play tony looks the bollox

 

wepon

 

Looks the nuts Tony, top job

 

looks the dogs danglies m8 !!

is that you in the overalls ??

if so you look a little diff to the last pic i saw ! i think it must be the hair

and i agree about the diffs and box , mines the same , as soon as you go to a big cut on the cwp the noise increase is massive !!

enjoy m8 !!!

Hi tony i`m almost 100% that i saw your 3dr being trailer`d on the marchwood bypass the other day when i was on my way back to hythe in the cossie.


Looks lovely by the way

 

Saint , yeah that was me , Martin Spotted me too !! Cant keep anything a secret round here can we
The old centrelocks were fucked, magnesium doesn't last well and the wheels had severe cracks , the hubs weren't up to the job ,anyway i wanted to build an authentic Club GpA car , ive no time for air jax and bottle trolleys give me a 4 stud wheel anyday .
The bumper does have a slight twist on it , youve gotta have eagle eyes to spot it tho !
Cheers for the positive comments lads, this drew quite a crowd in the paddock even tho there was much more expensive machinery there, the draw of a Cosworth i guess .
