Yeah instead of letting us past lol

I love the "get out the way you fucking piece of shit" and then "HAHAHAHA from you", and then at the end you telling the guy "Yeah its pretty quick for a 1.4 hey mate, and he replied fuck off" lol

I was suprised that it was hardly quicker than mine down the straights, considering its 300bhp!

RS' are only 203bhp per tonne or something aren't they?
What power are you putting out?

About 180 per ton, that would explain why then.

hard_corejoeboy · 5th October 2010, 18:34

180 per tonne is really good RS clio's are about 166 i think off the top of my head.
You done any 0-60 1/4 mile tests?

How much was the CF roof btw? Are you very rich? Seems like overkill lol

jpsaxo · 7th October 2010, 18:12

Tufty · 7th October 2010, 18:41

Wow mate, thats just mental, i swear you have had a few issues with the manifolds? I remember you saying you welded your last crack?

dannygti · 7th October 2010, 18:56

thats terrible mate... cant believe its gone like that. what mani is it?

jpsaxo · 7th October 2010, 19:59

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!

Chr15 · 7th October 2010, 20:01

Even parts of the Titanic are in better nick!

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

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

Olly · 8th October 2010, 20:28

Was actually really looking forward to rockingham when i rang up to book

mega dissapointment for moi.

£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?

jpsaxo · 8th October 2010, 20:46

Sorted!

Can't get any pics of the weld repair in the garage will get some in the day light tomorrow

J222JRA · 8th October 2010, 20:49

Would it be worth making a plate to put on the bottom of the manifold.....similar to a sump guard to help protect it abit??

Lewis · 8th October 2010, 20:53

^ yea good idea, custom head shield, you seem pretty handy with the tools so far, might be worth a shot. Looking awesome either way
