Cheers tom, i did try to blag barn to come along as for passangers it free but he didnt want to
I will be in touch after the track too for a winter seal, as i gave barn a lcr steering rack so he will be paying

No no no....its not that I don't want to I would love to it's that I can't afford to.

Have fun tomorrow mate. Get some pictures bud and let me know how the beast handles on the track

 

[Ronin225]

Will do, just eventually mounted my fire extinguisher and made my bag of repair bits
I think is bringing his camera so maybe get some in car footage as well as external photos

Eventually got the fire extinguisher fitted at about 10pm on saturday night just in time for the sunday trackday. Its only a 1kg one and looks very small now fitted might change to a 2kg one later on but its a nice piece of mind equipment
Installed in the boot

Also a nice little item turned up, directly from our volkswagon cousins after phillc put the idea in my head

I'll post up about the trackday in a bit

 

[beta85]

excellent changes!
I know where I can buy the rear strut bar?
thanks

 

[Ronin225]

Which one?
Lower one is a honda integra type R (DC2) front upper brace from OMP, harder to get in uk now but OMP are based in germany so you might have more luck
Upper is a hughes engineering one, if you contact mike he does them in batches and only just done one so maybe have a few spare

Well on Sunday i popped off to Blyton park with Phillc to really give the car some grief.
Had a brilliant time and cant wait to go out on the track again, think i'll be booking up some time in the new year.
Anyway car stood upto it very well especially since the morning was still quite wet and slippy.
Both myself and phill took advantage of the free tuition that was thrown in too.
But car was so balanced and the pics i'll post further down all show it looking pretty flat everywhere.
Found it very forgiving too even when entering a corner at a very optimistic speed
Gripped well but if heavy right footed early it'd understeer with some very catchable lift off oversteer
Very planted and even Phill found you couldnt seem to push the car far enough to get it out of shape, if it did was so easy to control anyway.
So all in all very happy with its setup and how it handles only major thing i am considering now is a 2nd set of wheels with super grippy tyres.
Anyway here are some of the pics that phill took

I think me and Phill are planning on going back in march/april time for another assault of it,i'll let you know when we book.
Forgot to mention to my centre caps didnt like the abuse and decided to part from the car.
Also managed to get a lovely blue tinge to my disc's
Just found the track photographers pics so will steal some of them too

Car looks to be very well spec'd for the track now. Really liking the way this car is going with each mod your taking.

[Ronin225]

Cheers tom, i would say lets me meet up for a track day but as you can see your car gets very dirty.
Yours is too clean for the track, maybe you bring DKwith you to wash them in between sessions

 

[cupra-barn]

Some nice pics mate. Out of all the pro pics I still prefer your second pic lol

Phill the photographer!

Yes it does get the odd leaf on it etc, not good at all, lol.
DK cleans his more than mine mate, I'm not sure you'd get either near the track haha..

But in all seriousness, I'm aiming to get mine round Brands' for a gentle session by next summer. She should be ready then

 

[Ronin225]

Let me know if/when you book up as i may have a trip up as i have got the bug now
Never know i may have my bigger blower on by then if i'm very lucky

Yeah will do mate. You done Brands' before? I've done the racemaster trackday in the megane 225 few years ago and then the formula palmer audi. Really fun track once you get in you groove!

How long do you think till you get the BT setup on??

 

[Ronin225]

Brands is a bit of a trek but might have an overnighter to break it up, meet up for some beers the night before maybe
Stroker should be here in a few weeks then a few more bits and fitting hopefully just after xmas so summerish if i'm efficient
