It's a btb mild steel one lads, it's lasted 4years which isn't bad considering it's done 4 ring trips, silverstone, mallory, landow twice, donnington etc track days as well!

I would have thought that it would take a lot more than what you've done to get that bad?

haha, true true! Its done all the above track days as i mentioned, plus i dont think it helped that i was running standard top 2 engine mounts for all of the events apart from this years ring trip.

Yeah of course, if i cant save up 500quid between now and july then i need to be shot lol

OK; couple of updates, Rockingham have cancelled the track day on Sunday which is annoying, so im gonna head down to the touring cars final round at brands hatch and have a decent drive in the mango.

Also Manifold is now fixed, i cant be arsed to fit it though as I walked 8 miles at work today lol

£500? is that all it costs? Seems quite cheap? Is that for like petrol costs? accommodation?

Shame about the track day. how did you fix the manifold, cut and re-weld?
