yeah it looks like that at the minute too :unsure:

 

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

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

also it has got smoked side repeaters on it now which are much better than the black ones that were on it

 

i have also had to put the standard disks and pads back on it after the last track day where the brakes got too hot and cracked the disks
