really like the look of the first two pics.

 

took mine out just now on the r888's and filled it up with fuel

 

loads of frip even flat out

[SteveW 6]

first trackay today well very well despite the wet weather, even put the r888's on in the afternoon and the car felt alot better

on them compared to the toyo t1-r's i have as wets. Was really happy with the way the car performed with only a few minor issues, the rear

needs lowering as you will see from the pics

 

 

 

 

 

 

nice pic of me and spiky behind (he wasnt there long, fair play to him it flies)

 

 

roll on the next one

[Spiky 37]

they are really good photos

 

 

get them all up , assuming there was more?

 

i forgot to go look at mine , who did the pics?

 

you tube vids are going up as we speak, both laptops flat out ..lol sad or what

 

your car was great today, shame the t1r's were s*ite get some wets like mine you wont look back

Your 205 looked to be going well today, I always say 888s are better on a wet track than road tyres, also the 205 looks nicely finished

cheers Matt, think it went well for my first trackday in the car, she felt far better on the r888's. had a few issues, threw the alternator belt in my first session, small oil leak

on the oil cooler and the gearbox has seen better days, kept jumping out of third ( cant complain tho as spiky gave it to me). think i will start my xmas list early, new box and ATB diff at the top of the list.

[Spiky 37]

and there goes the "cheap" track car.....lol

 

but, yeah it was going really well, few more track days and i will be finding it hard to get past ....lol

The mi16 box works well and you will love the atb diff, every cheap track car ends up costing more and more and more

[SteveW 6]

Finally after months of waiting i have my rear billies, get these fitted now then i can see how much the rear needs lowering.

 

 

roll on the next trackday

[welshpug 1,661]

they wont affect the ride height one bit

[SteveW 6]

they wont affect the ride height one bit

 

will need lowering then as suspected

Anyway hope to see you next Sunday.
