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

[Ape]

Seemed quite busy on the track, unlucky on the wheel to
Need to organise a meet soon and you can have a battery box i still have lying around

It was a bit like a moving obstacle course. Was a giggle though! The wheel damage is very slight in the grand scheme of things. The car's going to gather a few battle scars here and there though with its time on track. It's been built to be abused, and abuse it certainly gets!! I'll still take that battery box off you soon dude I've got a few other bits to get from someone else on here (I'd not forgotten!)

We do need to organise a meet. I'll get on it!

Good man, sooner the better

Cars sounding awesome APE, keep up those track days bro

Cheers pal, I want to hammer a few more days asap, just the money side of things (as always!)

 

[Copey]

Nice pics of the Ring ape, cars looking good aswell (well nicer than the 206 i believe it was before)

 

[STUSSY]

Amazing , looks like you had a fun day , I love the spin haha , And the car sounds wkd what have you got on it again ???

 

[Ape]

Cheers Copey. Loved the 206 but it was too slow.

Stussy, didn't quite spin, although it was understeer galore trying to get it back round and on track. Full list of stuff fitted is on page one bud (first post). Got too much to mention without forgetting

 

[STUSSY]

I'll have a read again , the car sound awesome . Are you going gti INTERS ?

 

[Ape]

Cheers bud. I might do, when is it?

 

[STUSSY]

[Ape]

Tempted by that Come to think of it I've been getting emails from Autometrix (I think it is) who are the organisers I believe.

I know I would matey, but I organise the trips with a friend and a load of other mates want taking out there and I'd hate to miss out on the chance to go.

In the meantime, Youtube uploaded my video after a few hours!!

Ape's 'Ring Lap

Awesome!!
Just watched the whole thing full screen. Nicely driven mate

 

[Copey]

So whats next on the list, handling or more power?

 

[Ape]

Cheers Fraggles, although many "regular 'Ringers" (Make of that what you will ) think otherwise

Copey - The current list is (in order of purrrrrrchase!):

Badger 5 3" TIP (Red Hoses)
Wavetrac Differential
Weightloss Stage 2 (Carpet, Door Cards, Sound Proofing)
New Seats
Cage
Polycarb Windows

Unfortunately cash is more than tight at the mo so the projects a little on hold.

 

[Copey]

sounds like this could be a beast, diff is essential when running big power so that should help a fair bit, good stuff mate keep this updated.

We going av to sort a meet up, wana go the nurberg ring but not till next year, want a new car first with abit more grunt.

 

[spoons86]

Thing is mate your going there to enjoy yourself right! I've done some track time and had a bit of tuition in the past and if you want to compete that's brilliant but for pure grin factor chuck it in boot it out!

Your cars awesome BTW proper track weapon BIG respect

 

[Ape]

Yeah too right there. I've had a bit of tuition but nothing major, and not at the 'Ring either!

Cheers dude, I wouldn't say its a weapon yet but it will be.

 

[Ronin225]

So when will the K04 go and something bigger to replace it?
I take it thats what your hinting at with the not a weapon yet

 

[Ape]

Not sure about that dude. If it ever failed I'd go bigger, but there's more to be done to help it on its way to being a weapon
