Popped up to Donington Park again today for the weekly track day. Not as exotic as last week on the car front, but still good all the same.

Was nice to meet you James, glad the weather held out for us too

Hope you like some of my best shots of the day, the rest can be found on my website here: http://www.cruiseculture.net/media/t...s.php?album=64

Thanks

 

Hippy's rola

 

I see the "All show,no go" Ferrari was there again

 

Yer, that Ferrari was there again, not up to much tho.

The Porker (top pic) was looked gorgeous on the track, till he blew his tyre.

 

Crap dan









No brilliant mate they have come out very nicely

 

Cheeky lol

Thanks

 

That thing was mental lol

Dancing all through the corners

 

Nice photos dude!

 

Always like your pics mate, very nicely taken!

What was up with the Ferrari, still looks the bollox IMO!

 

Shorty: Thanks mate

Dan: I'm glad you like them, is great to hear the appreciation

 

top pics

what camera do you use?


Alex

 

Cheers matey

I use a Fuji FinePix S5500 - 4 megapixel, 10 optical zoom, with polarizer and lens hoods.

Here's the weapon of choice lol

 

Glad you are feeling the 1.6L corolla.

It was fun today - I was being careful - honest shame I blew the fecker up in the afternoon - ho hum.

Would be nice to see some video clips - a chap with a nice M3 said he had some - I'd like to see red gate or coppice from the outside - I was having to use the passenger window instead of the windscreen LOL.

Some top top cars today - glad I wasn't out getting piss wet in a radical though.

 

Thats a weapon.....The camera that is

 

What camera did you use to take the picture of you camera

 

Ian: Was funny seeing you sideways lol, quality

Dean: Tis a bit of a monster isn't it lol, got another lens to go on yet...

Zetec: Sony K750i mobile phone 2 megapixel lol

 

ha ha i followed you today in the white rolla sorry to here it went bang we'v never had any bother from the 4age motor in the ae92's, was in a scooby today but it was fun and smoked the ferrari in it so he anit that quick lol. i did go out in the blue rolla a few time's but got black flaged pmsl had chat with ryan and all was good and back out again

 

Which of the 4 or 5 scoobies were you?

Green wagon, navy blue classic, red, or newer shape sonic blue?

 

green wagon and red one for a while also the old blue rolla

 

Ah, you were what caused us an early lunch then lol

You went off in Craners soon as me and my old man arrived, then had to have lunch for 45 mins

Car ok dude?

 

nah that was my mate si it was his first trackday so we took it in turns
and he ended up in the gravel not me lol car was fine mate just change the wheels and went back out

 

Ahhh I see lol, fair play.

I spotted the change in wheel, so assumed it was to cater for the off prior to lunch

Saw someone giving it some whelly through redgate afterwards, sounded sweet as fook

 

lol i gave it some death and was nipping round nicely shame you did not get pic of si in the gravel i could have shamed him forever pmsl

 

Well - it has 210,000 km on the clock from japan - it was meant to have an engine refresh about 20,000 km ago when the throttle bodies, management, cams and stuff were fitted - but we dont know that for sure. I knew this day was coming so I wasnt at all suprised when it went.

Its actually an ae92 stronger ribbed block. We just have to rebuild it stronger and better now - with some improved anti-surge for the oil and fuel systems.

A quick look at the outside of the engine only shows a weeping front crank bearing seal - no holes in the block and we cant figure out where the oil went to LOL. Water is not contaminated either by the looks of things.

Ho Hum

 

lol i'v got one that has also been to the moon i found gen parts to be cheeper than aftermarket stuff, anyway gze pistons are cheep from oz
get a turbo on it and some low comps cozzy management and a loom from the dingo and it will go even more sideways

 

good pics dan!

i'm there this coming sunday (6th) in my co-owned 205 mi16, come say hi if anyone's around, it'll be the silver standard looking one

 

CheeRS Ian

I may pop up, but got a bonfire at Weston Park starting at 3, and will need to be there sharpish, so not sure if I'm going to go up yet...

If I did, would only be till about 1ish.

Will keep an eye on the weather situ

 

Was a top day good to meet you dan some top pics there chap nice one.

 

Nice to meet you too

Glad you like the pics

 

Cool pics again, the 'weird looking eh' silver mk2 Golf is a mate's

1.8T 20v motor around 250bhp I think

 

Ahhh, you just posted on me site

Whats going on with it, as the back looks diff to a normal golf?

And there's some sort of strut underneath engine bay too...

Went well, and I told the old man it sounded turbo'd, I was right

 

It's a strange concoction that car, mk2 Golf, mk4 1.8T engine and box, started off as a synchro shell (4wd) but it runs just front wheel drive, has got 305mm Brembos on the front and back

Loads of pics of it here

http://www.20vsyncro.co.uk/My%20Golf%20Syncro.htm

 

Cool, not a bad shot I got of him too

I'll be looknig out for him again

 

Are your shots from inside of Redgate?

 

Yes mate, one of Doningtons best spots for panning, along with Craners

 

GVK, where do you live mate?

I swear your car looks very familiar.

I tracked the visitors to my site, and lead me back to Club GT where you posted some pics up...nice one

But anyway, went to your site, and I'm sure I've seen your car before ?

 

I live in Lincolnshire Danja, near Spalding

If you've been going to Donington track days for a couple of years or so, you might've seen it there - failing that... DUNNO!!

 

Ah no, wasn't you then.

I see someone everyday on way to work with Golf just like yours...thought with you going Donington etc, may have been you
