Angels are staying until i've finished modifiying my standards and seeing what they look like now.

Angels are common and pretty shite tbh, after a different look so we'll see ;)

FMP and MJ minced my Nurburgring cap :(

RedB 16th July 2008 15:01

1000+ miles later the car is back parked on my drive!!!

Absolutely awesome trip and well worth doing even if you've only got a couple of days spare :y: Almost no problems with the car and i managed 400m on a tank convoying there with Paul, FMP's Jager bus and a teggy DC2 (fook knows how at the speeds we were doing :p) Few casualites out there but glad i got a good few laps in and a low 9-minute. Gonna push for a sub 9-minute next time im there early Sep then on the Sax-P trip later on....

Decided i need to go even more hardcore on my new car before i drop it into Owlsbury next week so work carries on tonight and loads to do :)

Viper 16th July 2008 16:21

Few things in mind atm.

Clean up the rest of the underside, engine bay and arches before Trax.
Dropping the car into Owlsbury coachworks next week to finish the bodywork so no car for a week!

Brakes and suspension need to be more hardcore before i take her back to the Ring in Sep and a few more touches which im saying nout about 'til nearer the time ;) Loads to keep me busy lol.

2 on the way already lol.

Cheeky fcuker :p

Sam - Are you getting a respray and mk1 front end?
Keep yours as it is and colour code. Would look much better that it does still and cost less.

Thanks for your help again mate, cant wait to get the car back in Aug looking fresh with a few choice mods :D :cool:

Quick chop of what its gonna look a little something like....



Different lights, grille and a few other changes to that obviously ;)

So you gonna tell me where you got those drop links from or what????

Payney 18th July 2008 19:21

Whats the mileage on this beast now? Surely 100k+?

RedB 18th July 2008 19:25

Few Ring pics and other shiznip....

Catch tank!









Getting some fancy fixings and hose after i've made a proper bracket and got it in place beside my new induction kit but its fine for the moment fitted with cable ties.







New O ring for my Superprint to allow a few mm more flex as it hardly has any atm and is too hardcore lol!



Last day at the Ring getting some last action in before we left.
These were taken up at Adenau Forst, a stunning viewing point where you get great views of the Ring standing a few metres from the track!



Last pics taken with Dave and PaulJ (hope your cars sorted soon mate) :)







Awesome trip and i'm going back twice in Sep so less than 2 months, early trip with only a few mates and then the Sax-P trip later on. Gonna try and get over there a couple more times after Sep before the end of the year hopefully. Bitten by the bug already! :D

Hit just over 104k on the return trip man.

Could do with the clutch bearing being replaced as the noise is annoying me(parts on the way) but she's still going strong for an old bird! :cool:

Payney 18th July 2008 19:30

Viper 18th July 2008 23:47

jamiemackie 19th July 2008 00:07

looking good mate, noob question, what does the catch tank do??

Viper 19th July 2008 00:31

iirc, catches oil thats going back up the breather pipe?

Karl 19th July 2008 00:46

instead of your engine breathing oil back into the inlet, it breathes it into a tank.

Matty-VTR 24th July 2008 18:47

Where did you get your oil catch tank kit from bud?

vtr130 24th July 2008 18:59

Paul J always thinks his car is broken, lol

-Richard- 24th July 2008 19:15

where did you get that oil catch tank from, how much was it and did the hose come with it?
