looks good fun...

front end looks terrible though.. chavy golf lights combined with what looks to be a "novadose" front bumper

That aside, pure entertainment!

Depends what route I decide to take with it, considering going for a totally different gearbox as my homemade cable shift conversion on a rod change box just isnt as slick as an off the shelf one would be.

around the 300 mark at the moment, only 12psi, will be running 30psi soon, or will die trying to, lol.


Westy, I dont like the look of the lights really but they were already on it when I got the car and it seems pointless removing them to fit nova ones cause these actually work, and nova ones dont really, lol

Think so, not really sure, was on there too, I dont really know much about nasty chavvy aftermarket bumpers and bodykits so not really sure what its called, someone else said novadose though, so probably that one.
Its useful though, cause ive got 4 radiators hidden in it!

Dont really care what it looks like much TBH, only going to get wrapped round a tree down the lanes of somerset near where I live one day anyway probably, lol

Yes mate it was a laugh, I just think some of the evo owners dont have a sense of humour and unless you have a 500bhp they feel you have no right to be on track.

Ironically half the ones moaning were probably the same ones not pulling over to let Rob by and holding him up in his astra, lol

Brembos working well in this shot:



We deffo had the best vantage point for his slides and flames



Love that animated GIF Chip

Good spot, it's kind of subtle and usually need explaining, but I paid not a lot for it!

That TA Evo had a lot of Carbon, doors, roof, bonnet, wing, boot, front wings. Pricey stuff too, IIRC each pair of doors are over £1k

Looked good with it though!

tbh the day was a little sureal for me

undertaking evo's and lots of other cars on the inside of a corner while they cannot hold there line ebcause of understeer

when your driving a FWD mk2 astra turbo car with 350+ bhp is unreal lol

i expected to be beating ppl down the straights not in the bends
