That’s it. Yeah the E36 was stripped last year and spent 6 months building the Cayman.

Thanks. Try to keep the updates coming and interesting. He doesn’t have one for the Porsche but eventually I think some of it will be posted on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/f0xxxxxy?igsh=ang2MGtkaXQ5bXYz

Cadwell Park Start of the day didn't go as planned... Sighting laps went off without a hitch but only managed about 5 laps in session one before loosing power steering through through hall bends, quick look at the dash and noticed battery light on... pulled off the circuit at the end of hall...

Anglesey Laps. Doing my best with the grip I had The other perspective

Summer Update. Not as many updates as there used to be but will try and keep it updated when I can. After finishing putting the car back together after stripping the rear end and fitting the new diff I started to do some prep for some dyno time. Noticed the swirl pot pressure was playing up...

Hopefully it’s worth it, lot of hours gone into putting this one together. I used to have a gripper in my clio box and it was fantastic. Driven a mini recently with a gripper and it just reminded me how good they are and the consistency every single time. Hopefully! Just want to be able to...

Not from the slicks. It’s something I’ve been putting a bandaid on for a year or two. Unless the rear of the car is pretty flat coming out of corners with both wheels on the floor the quaife tends to slip the inside wheel still. I’ve made improvements to keep the inside wheel on the ground...

Ordered myself a new diff. Didn't last long not touching it after Snetterton. Decided it was the end of the road for the quaife, it's been a great diff in the car which I've ran with a 3.38 and a 3.73 ratio. But I am finding the limit of it more and more with the car this past year...

Brand new set of Direzza. Now we're talking. I'm sure they'll be night and day compared to the MRF. Rarely hear a good thing about the MRF's so I'm sure it'll be a step you never go back on even if they do cost a fortune!

Looks good in the video, I miss that high reving F4R, clipping the limiter sounds great. But can see the car not always following the driver input in some corners and lots of tyre noise. Might have said but how old are the tyres? Had a few heat cycles and past their best?

I was going to swerve this one and leave it at just posting the two videos but I am sure everyone is desperate to read about the car that's not a Clio....:think: Snetterton Prep Last few jobs before setting off for Snetterton. After killing the last set of front slicks at Cadwell Park I got a...

Yeah. It certainly feels it. Got the grip for the fast corners as well as little more power than smaller hatches on the straights making them a little more bareable but the M2 type cars just walk away from me in a straight line. Shame it was wet in the afternoon and only got half a day running...

Snetterton May 2024 Dropping a video in, tried the go pro mounted on the cage on the passenger side for a change. Might get around to a proper post at some point... For now I'm planning what to change next

Onto the painting. I got some quotes for the painting, I had planned to do all the pre, filling and primer so the panels were ready for base coat. Quotes were in the region of £500 cash to £570+vat. Nothing against paying that if it was my daily but for the track car decided it was too much...

No post since April makes this quite a large update. Carrying on with the strut tops I got some laser cut 5mm steel discs and used the template to mark out the new plates for the strut tops Little bit of time with a grinder and a file and I got a profile I was happy with which would give me...

I think this level of confidence! Will see how it goes. Waiting for a new bumper to turn up then I will make a decision about how to go forwards with it.

Wouldn't it be great just to park up the car after a track day? Maybe give it a wash and leave it at that? Started with washing wheels and giving everything a check over... NSF tyre didn't fair that well at Cadwell even with approx 3.5 degrees of camber - I've ordered a digital level which I'm...

Cheers @RSRowe ! Looks so different when going back editing footage. Like a little cruise to the shops till you look at the speedo and you're going through Gooseneck at 80mph.

Car looks spot on in those photos! Big fan of the white wheels. Good to have a chat with you on Monday all be it a short one while faffing. Which go pro were you using out of interest? I've been trying to get one working in the car for some alternative footage but still not quite there with...

Cadwell Park April 2024. Fresh off the trailer at 7:30, always find the morning of a trackday a little bit worrying, hoping everything is right with the car and that it's going to work, this would probably be made easier if I didn't change so many things between each day, but where is the fun...
