This is where having a tow vehicle comes in handy. I've got everything except the kitchen sink in the back of the car. Big Halfords socket/spanner set Low profile trolley jack Misc hand tools, screwdrivers, picks, pliers etc... Fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid), ceramic brake pad grease...

Single Round Entry would be the one! You would need a race suit however which will only make you faster at trackdays anyway!

They're cheap days and good for learning a bit more car control, plus they're normally pretty quiet too! Time Attack doesn't need anything like that for the club classes, it's only when you go into the Pro classes that they get very strict on safety, the only things my car needs are a handheld...

So after Blyton, I had a few issues pop up with the Clio. The car would struggle to idle and eventually stall, it would hesitate on throttle too and misfire like a bitch. So, onto the little ramps she goes. After it was mapped, Andy at Engine Dynamics did say my upstream lambda was toast so 2...

Blyton Park 21st Oct. I'd been itching to get back out on track again, a cheapish Saturday popped up through Trackday Solutions so I chucked some money at the website and proceeded to get the car ready. To be fair the car only needed fluids and a quick checkover. I had to spend a day rebuilding...

So after a very wet day at Blyton, I had an engine management light pop up, car had a slight misfire that cleared up pretty much straight away. But the error code remained, so I read the codes last night and got these. The lambda sensor is a known issue, Andy at ED told me the upstream was dead...

I have an SW Motorsports half cage in mine, other than the fitting kit arriving 2 days after the cage I've had no issues, went straight in without the need for ratchet straps or anything like that. If I was to do it again however I'd probably go minimum of a bolt in full cage. If you're...

I wonder if an adjustable rear ARB would be beneficial? I've seen quite a few videos (mainly mid engined cars admittedly) running an adjustable RARB and running it in "full soft" on twisty circuits with lots of elevation changes. I'd assume something like that is available for the E46 as there...

Nice wallpaper Ethan :grin:

eBay in the end from Tegiwa (for a pair anyway). They showed no stock on their website but these were shipped next day. I had to get another pair from another seller as they only had 2 available.

With the weather potentially getting wet and wild as the year draws to a close, I figur d it was time to replace the Eagle F1s I stupidly sold earlier this year. All I ever hear is how good Michelin PS4's are in wet conditions so I've taken a punt on a set. Just need to get them mounted in time...

KTEC are my last option for anything as of late. They happily took my money for a set of brake pads that they didn't have in stock and knew they weren't going to have for around 6 weeks. Didn't bother to tell me about it though!

I love how quickly you seem to get these jobs done. It takes me about 4 weeks to change a set of brake pads! Have you got a deadline in mind for the rebuild or is it just a case of getting it done now so you know it's done and you can get the car onto the trailer ready for the next trackday with...

Andy's really good in that respect, he had more power out of mine but dialled it back because he didn't want to risk a high mile engine. Seeing 211 must have been a relief considering you've only just built the engine!

Those wheels look familiar:think:

Mine passed the MOT with no airbag because Alex kindly coded the lights out. I got a dished wheel as I like the wheel a bit closer than the standard column adjustment could give me.

We'll see how next month goes! I'd like to go back again soon. I did however book onto a Blyton day for next month. Saturday 21st October with Trackday Solutions. Don't think there's many spaces left, if any now. I'd also like to do Donington again at some point, just not on a Sunday this time...

So what's the plan for the new engine? Just new bearings and go again? Engine bay looks really good now, hopefully it's the last you see of it for some time!

Oulton Park - 19/9/23 It's been almost 2 years since I was last at Oulton and I've missed it a lot. Honestly one of my favourite tracks that I've been to so far and it'll take a lot to change that thought. Wet day which was going to prove interesting as I'd sold my wheels with "wet weather"...

I'm amazed at how those big ends look so damaged from such a short time with no oil pressure, just goes to show that if the oil pressure light is on, it's probably already too late! Good news that your fancy Schrick cams didn't pick any damage up!
