heheh cool, i best get changed and get out to my car and throw the exhaust system on it :P chat later guys

Haha ok dude take care

haha love it

looks like you did well, nice one guys ;)

Was a great day out yesterday and I was kept busy to say the least lol!

Glad the car had no problems atall and performed second to none during the day... Gotta say I dont think it could have gone any better, Pushed when we had to and drove steady and direct.. 37th to 13th.. Not bad for a first blow up!

HAHA yeh it was very frustrating when an evo wouldnt move over and i was losing time!!

:P

Thanks again to you lawrence your help was great!! As you said the team worked well no point in trying to catch car 1 and 2 in class as your talking 30k engine builds with 230bhp lol.

We were pedalling 3/4/5 to get away from the rest of the class then took it steady to bring it back and finish.

1st 205 home!!

Looking good lads!

May have to pop up when you hit Wales!

You doing Performance car action day again?

No worries mate, Glad it all paid off! Not much more we could have done and certainly showed a few up during the day... The guy in the astra wasn't happy LOL.. Beginning of the day "Look at those wonderboys, All the gear no idea" LOL Eat your words son! ;)

More blow ups to come TBH

lol

Was mint..As Co-Driver glad i didnt make any mistakes..:D

Cheers jackman, do you mean rallyday at combe?

If so yes will be there!!


Haha true was a good day the 205 really come into its home!! I cant wait to see the DVD that media guy is making!

Dont forget the early call of the chicane :P

Yea i did mean that!

But theres a action day at Combe on April 25th. wondered if you were going to that!

Better than calling it late..;)

Probs not mate as im probs going to the nurburgring again with a mate and rallying in between, but will deffo be at rallyday :)

True ;)

Just watched to incar of mine from yesterday....

My misses commented that it was the slowest that she had ever heard me reading the notes!

Again, congrats boys from myself and Steve, plus it now looks like after our falling out with the BTRDA guy at scrutineering on Friday, we will now NOT be doing the MSA English, and so that means that hopefully both Down Ampney events are go!!!!!!!

lol

Cheers Mark..

Your not even doing the planned championship now then?

some good photos....

good shit mate :y:

Cheers foggy, did you have a gander at our vids? May give you some idea of the chicane speed and car umpphh lol altho you cant see nothing lol

Down Ampney has to be done were 100% up for it!!

Cheers dude :)

The guy was a complete ass...

He was insistent that we remove the sponsored door squares and fit the BTRDA / Silverstone tyres ones, plus run a sponsor stack in front of it, plus remove the sunstrip and fit a BTRDA / Silverstone tyres one. In 2008 we ran with a small BTRDA registered crew logo on the car.

We point blankly refused, as we have sponsor commitments and people have paid to put there names on the car, plus we dont even run Silverstones, so why do we have to avertise for them! He also wanted us to remove the Khumo Tyres decals on the front bumper! That was what pushed both of us over the edge, and basically told him what we thought of the best rally championship in the UK being fooked up by having a stupid tyre deal with the shittest tyres in the UK.... Rant Over..... lol

So we are now going to pick and choose certain events through 2009, in hope that the poxy control tyres are removed for 2010!

Not seen Steve that angry for quite a while... There were few 'quite rights' heard from in the room..... lmao...........

Just to top it all off, when we were in the last emergency service before the drive back to finish, there were several crews registered for the championship, removing Dunlop and Michelin snow tyres and fitting the control tyres to go over the finishing line with....

Sounds like a cock, was it john cooper by any chance?? The scruitineer we had was ok only thing he picked up on was he wanted to see some yellow on the negative battery lead or the earth lead or something so dad put two yellow cable ties on it and was ok lol

I have all the assholes like that to come no doubt!!

Down Ampney it is then :)

Nah wasn't John as he seams OK...

It was Howard from the BTRDA

The Kumho's were great on the slush and snow

Was a cracking day boys, I apologise once again for the video glare, just had no time to test the equipment and make any necessary changes before the event. All will be delbt with by the next event without fail.

But one thing i can say for those who wasn't there, if the video did work you would just see some serious driving and a lot of shocked faces as a new kid on the block went from 37th to 13th.

Your going to go far mate, I've attended more or less every track day youve entered and witnessed you eat dc2s, remaped leon cupra rs and scoobies in an mg zr... I've been in the car around brands hatch as you pushed (not physically) a 100k amg merc into a wall in your scoob. Hell we even held onto a gt3 on the nurburgring in the ek9!! An yesterday what a performance.

Great going the pair of you and I cant wait for the next event :) :y:

Cheers for the words of wisdom Fox..:P

If you could send one of your production team round to have a look at the camera that would be great..

After the shoddy start I will 'personally' be coming round to sort out the camera to ensure such glare never occurs again! :y:

Ok..much appreciated..

Thanks for the support mate, the car performed well and thanks to all the others like nick tynan for his great pics, lawrence for his help servicing and if they could see this the marshalls and organisers for such a great event!!


Good good!

Guys, did one of you tell me that you were planning to do Cearwent?

If so, then the camera will have to be removed, as because it is still an active millitary base. :fcuk:

We were going to do Caerwent but its like a week before Down Ampney and that will stretch the money abit..lol

We were aware about the camera thing also..Cheers anyway..:P

The regs are not out yet for Get it Sideways on the 18th April, so will wait and see what the fees are....

I reckon we can do the 2 Down Ampney events for the price of one BTRDA entry fee..... :fcuk:

Aren't they both rounds of the CMSG Championship? (Cearwent and GIS@DA)

Just checked and they are..... lol

Cearwent 29th March - GIS@DA 18th April :)

Im guessing the entry will be around the 200 smackers mark!!

Will be good looking forward to it!!

Some More Pics:



Handbrake:

Some decent pics tbh..

I was looking at the camber angle on the rears......

Its a mix of rear wheel bearing and bent stub axle!!!

Still corners like its on rails :)

nice car and pics, but bent stub pin! fix it

No need mate dont fix something that aint broke is my saying!!

And it aint broke its slightly bent!!

Still come 3rd in class and 13th overall :)

New wheel bearing is being sorted..Not gona bother with the stub pin..not sure if its even bent tbh i think its all wheel bearing..

Even if it is bent, we wil probs leave it..Handles fine..

I think i will do both down ampney events "Get It Sideways" and EMCOS if i enjoy the GIS in april :)

Thats the SMRallying plan as well.... Get It Sideways is also a round of the HRCR championship, so should be some interesting kit there :)
