Quick update:

Went to Donnington park for another track day on Monday

Few pics curtesy of Alex











Also before Donny I changed my manifold for a stainless steel piper which had a couple of cracks and dents but Lea is on the case sorting it for me - big thanks mate!

Crack in the weld under florescent paint...



And he got some of his work mates (who weld to aerospace spec) to sort it...





Also cut my dash fans so they fit due to the cage running close behind them...





That's it for now... More to come before fcs!

Josh ill go through and find think i got a video on my phone too off the pit wall :)

And was gunna pop the link up but guess you saw it haha

AlexB 26th May 2011 10:31

And on another note it may be worth getting the vtr alternator brackets with the piper manifold so it doesnt melt it

Really well mate, was quicker than the majority of stuff over the whole lap, even though some didn't intend on making it easy at letting me past lol!

Couple of the guys in the porsches said they were watching me and that my car looked quick and really well balanced which was good to hear :)

Things got a bit hairy on well worn r888's in the wet in the afternoon, all good fun though :D

rorz_vts 30th May 2011 21:50

said it once and ill say it again this cars awesome especially with a good clean

Olly 31st May 2011 13:15

That interior shot does rock!!!

Enjoying the week off?

Lewisimo 31st May 2011 13:21

That does look proper tidy Josh I will say - veeeeeeery nice! My only criticism would be that you should buy some proper roll cage padding and fix it on using cable ties as it looks a lot neater thatn tape, otherwise perfect! :)

willsy 31st May 2011 14:23

As above interior looks ace, defo my favourite bit.

jpsaxo 1st June 2011 12:02

Thanks for all the comments lads!

Lewis - it is proper cage padding, just the slim version as the A pillars, the bar that goes across the top of the window screen and the bar that goes across the roof on the B pillar loop are all very close to the bodywork so the thicker stuff wouldn't fit. Also I disagree about zip ties looking better, but everyone has there own opinions and that's cool mate I'm always happy to hear other peoples opinions on how to improve it :)

Yeah Olly weeks off are always good, especially before fcs. Couple more pics...

My BTB manifold had seen better days so I replaced it with a stainless 4-1 piper, Lea kindly welded a crack on it (pics on last page), dad then wrapped it for me and sprayed it with black high temp paint as that worked well on sealing the BTB





Also painted my cam covers in 2 pack mango


dannygti 1st June 2011 12:09

agree with you josh, tape looks better than cable ties... you dont have that bulky thing on there then..and you dont have to wrap it too tight.

looking spanky anyway

Yeah, I don't know why, I just think cable ties look abit temporary that's all!

It's near enough back together for its appearance on the PFC stand @ fcs :D




Jay_ 2nd June 2011 10:08

This is absolutely awesome mate :y:

jpsaxo 4th June 2011 17:45

Well the cars all ready for fcs :D

Although after a quick run out I think the clutch is going.... I'll still do the 3 hour session although I wouldn't be suprised if it breaks while out on track and just get it towed home lol

kevin_172 4th June 2011 20:30

Brave man! Just like I would do!

hard_corejoeboy 4th June 2011 23:20

Must be the time of year! Alexb's, yours and now mine's on its way...

Damn valeo's are krap!

jpsaxo 5th June 2011 15:12

It died this morning hence not being @ fcs, was really looking forward to it as well, convoy & being on the PFC stand would have been good, at least I still got to abuse sam's xsi on track for a few hours, was funny killing a few clio cups and keeping up with a couple of megane R26's in a 1.4 lol

I know mate it's annoying, to be far mine has done over 10 track days & 4 ring trips and lasted 5 years so i can't really complain :)

jpsaxo 5th June 2011 18:49

Seeing as my car didn't make it today I guess I can put these pics up...

Mmmmm carbon :D
