Booked ages ago.

Cheap as chips for two mint tracks on open pit!

Free for all too, always good to play with non Fords.

Ahh shame you won't be there on 15th Tony, you could have educted me on top mount options and some handling/braking upgrades.

Lol, the stopping power is "ok" but stopping the fluid from boiling and the pedal dropping is troublesome, will be trying new options and if i change discs and calipers, they HAVE to fit inside 15" wheels. I won't change up a size. No way.

It's a learning curve i guess


Tim, 1st at oulton job done!

What did Luke decide in the end, because he didn't want to change from the 15's either?

COCYHN- He has a differnt set up to me, he should be fine now, some nice brembo's on.

Nope, sorry if i offend anyone but a Mk3 on wheels bigger than 15's is just bad unless its a "show car". Ruins handling, arch clearance blah blah.
Plus, tyres are much cheaper.

Aye Tim, maybe catch you there

Yeah, was tempted, but was already booked up on this a while back. If all goes well, i should rack up tons of miles, for Ł200! Scweeeet.....just need to find time to actually improve the cars before i go, rather than pointlessly spanking them.

I'm with ya Neil mate, nothing bigger than a 15" rim on a mk3 Fiesta. Always worked well for me

I'm so tempted to take my German tank to Oulton Park but know I need to be sensible
