Good luck with it, and keep going with the videos!

sorry and cheers

im just pissed off with being so underpowered all the time, i have to drive the pants off it to get anywhere...

drove the car at cadwell yesterday, got some hot laps in, no camera so no lap times but they felt decent.

rc-6 pads are fantastic even if they squeel like a pig when used gently

wider 205/50/15 r888 sticks like shit. no scrubbing on track at all. plenty of scrubbage on full lock lol

sexy_gt · 6th May 2012, 15:34

new 205 wide r888 vs the r1r (my very wet choice) as i prefer r888 even in wet as long as its not completely pissing.

always wanted to get a shot next to this tank. i see the gates left open so i helped myself. its in manby near louth, lincolnshire

would like to point out thats not my normal rear ride height... ive got x4 tyres and a helmet in the boot

Is this a hint for your plans to get enough torque to pull that tank? lol.

New r888's look fat!

What off-set are your wheels? I'm surprised the 205 tyres fit!

ford fitment mate, custom spacers

have had to trim the some stuff but not as much as you would expect.

R888 are great in the wet, I only use them when its pissing it down. if its only damp then slicks are just as competitive

dannygti · 9th May 2012, 12:10

205 width ftw.. I've been using this size for years and wouldn't go back to 195 with my power. Just so long as you get the right offset and trim things properly you won't have issues.

xxo0pko0xx · 9th May 2012, 13:04

id agree
205 fitment is far best. 195 just isnt enough. i no longer own.a daxo so its easier for me bur i use 205 ob.my front and 215 on my backs. only running 140 whp atm though and i can say skidding has become a thing off the past

currently have -0- camber on o/s strut

removed the strut striped off all my suspension and built up a new leg only to fit and then realise it was the wishbone that is bent not the leg! gutted...

no camber lol

sexy_gt · 9th June 2012, 07:18

did cadwell yesterday and blew the clutch. not friction but the springs from the plate escaping... not the first time ive had this.

fitting a new one today should be fine for donington tho

these are valeo clutches i have been using. if i wasnt going to be using a paddle soon with the charger then i would be fitting a helix organic right now.

NismoSteve · 9th June 2012, 08:25

How long had that last valeo cutch lasted stew? Still need some bits from you when we can shedule a time when we're both free lol!

4 trackdays 1500 miles

was going to hit blyton today but im saving the new clutch for donington on sunday (FCS).

i think its engine braking that i may be using too much. i guess the clutch will get the brunt of it. this is the 3rd valeo thats gone in the same way.

new one that went in

and peg sat with me whilst i did all the work

i do have some footage but im not proud of it. head winds at cadwell on park and start straight. i actually thought there was something wrong with the car power wise till i realised how windy it was.

best lap in the wind and damp track was 1:52 utter wank. not proud. i was really starting to get into the groove then the clutch shit that spring

pissed me off as it totally dryed out after. there was even a few other saxos there but i never got a chance to speak to them.
