bronze4door Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) yeah it looks like that at the minute too it was washed before Ford Fair but it rained on the saturday and we went the backway from the campsite into Silverstone and the path had big muddy puddles to go through so thats why it was dirty then at the minute the steering rack has got a bit of play in the driverside trackrod but it will be getting a good wash on sunday when i finally have some spare time Edited November 4, 2009 by bronze4door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRic Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 nice, you getting it sideways in the wet? use handbrake at all? Please tell me that's a joke? He was on a race track why would he even consider using the handbrake Pictures looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze4door Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 it went really well with a bit of understeer but thats too be expexted so the understeer was used to let the car run out to the exit of the corner druids the double apex right hand bend was really slippy as it is under trees and this was the only corner i had to take it easy on the only modifications are front upper and lower strut braces and a rear strut brace, the rear seats have been taken out to bolt the harnesses in, its got max torq grooved and vented disks with mintex pads and the tyres are toyo proxe T1Rs there was no problems with it all day, it went out for about 20 mins to half an hour back in to cool down then out again the only thing now is the handbrake does not work at all, i knew it needed a new cable on it before the track day anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
