Ape's LCR225 Thread (Getting Back on the Road)

[Ape]

Ah, but by not following a trend, are you really following a trend of not following a trend?

Curly, thanks It was great fun on track, best fun I've had with my pants on for a while

I'm out at Castle Combe around the track tomorrow too can't wait!

 

[Curly08]

Have fun mate, what stand were you on? I'm hoping to have things done to my Leon next year and i'm gonna want to get it on a stand at trax

 

[Ape]

Hi bud, I was on a stand overlooking Brooklands we had Hilla's LC on there and a R8 too

Next year our local club should be sorting it's own stand out for the track orientated shows in the year (in my sig )

I'm going to be making another camera mount, and improved MKII version lol. Will look like a strut brace across the rear but won't be structural, it'll just hold the camera. May prove a bit of a pain with camera view but I need to get a mock up done during the weekend and see how it looks

 

[Ape]

I'll be making Camera Mount MKII when I get home tonight. If it works I might start making them for folk (providing I have enough fingers / eyes left )

Going to the Rally Day tomorrow at Castle Combe as well which will be good fun, and maybe a bit of a blast on Sunday on some twisties

Here's one from the AJEC PCAD day last week I've still got to go through the 1000 or so that were taken with my camera lol.

Brilliant photo Adam

 

[turbo009]

Looks awesome on track,you will have to upload some more photos

What camera you use?

 

[Ape]

That one wasn't taken with my camera, should have made that clearer

I'll get sifting through the ones that were taken, although they were taken in point-and-click mode so I might need to do a few touches to them.

When I shoot cars etc I use a Nikon DSLR with a couple of different lenses and just play around with the settings until I get something close to what I'm aiming for

My club mate Andy papped you going round coombe. There was one moment, when it was your car, a dc5 integra and a metro. Thats why i love castle combe action days.

 

[Ape]

That was in my last session, that metro was silly quick, couldnt find it afterwards in the club area for a chat but it kept pace with us which was a laugh.

What was Andy? Would you mind emailing me the full res pic?

 

[Murdered LCR]

Your car looks spot on mate , love it

You will have to speak with Andy on Rebel motorsport about full res pics.

Ye that metro was quick. 1.8 vvc engine.

 

[Ape]

Right bud, no worries.

a 1.8vvc, you sure? Fair play to the lad driving it, it was driven like it was on a local housing estate After watching the video of the session I just stuck behind him rather than overtaking him (for the first half of the session anyway), felt a little safer staying behind him but my lack of patience soon took over

 

[Jdizzy]

Ahh man this car is awesome love the red and silver theme.

I have an beetha cupra in silver with red TD's yours gives me more inspiration

[Ape]

Cheers

 

[Alex 17]

Haha

 

[Ape]

This is the plan for 2011. A Wrap and some other bits and pieces. Then use it at many more track days, do the Modball Rally and generally get as much use from it as possible.

 

[Cupra_R04]

MMMMmmm me likes that idea ape. Always liked this thread and cant wait to see the outcome. How soon you thinking?

 

[Nef]

What's with the pictures bud, You planning on wrapping just the front or the whole car?

 

[Ape]

It's a silver car, so I'll get the yellow and the sponsor decals and leave the base colour as is. The whole car will have the graphics applied. I think with stickers / vinyl / decal's its all or nothing.

I doubt I'll get the bodywork (widearch kit) for it, as it's mega money. A Wheel Colour change may happen too so it all looks neat.

I'm thinking just after Christmas currently
