Eye it is thicker gauge of material but I’d say it weighs less than my cut down standard I was running. I’ll weigh both at some point this week.

No idea on the actual differnces between the two. I just bought a Wheeler one as it was off the shelf and could get it powder coated on the cost of some wine gums. Without looking at them side by side, I don't think you could tell a difference looking at mine and the drawing above. Also...

How trust worthy is auto doc? Would you buy sensors and ignition stuff from them as well?

I think the official term there is “whoopsie” :laughing: Was the car okay? Looks like you need a jet boat

Will post a full write up once trackday photos are released

Blyton done. No major issues. No deaths. No marriages. Good day had by all.

It’s like the cars can tell they’ve got a trackday tomorrow. Clio is all done and dusted now. But had a misfire due to a wet coil pack thanks to leaking washer jets. All dried out and sorted. My friends rx8 has thrown wobbly and the coils aren’t working. Let’s see what tomorrow brings

Dug out some photos. As mentioned I have been slacking taking photos with the car. So these aren't the best. Dropping the old rear beam down. Something is missing here? Can't be rounded if I cut it in half! New arms installed Example of corrosion @burrellbloke. Crusty but...

not reallyGavin. I’ve got a screen grab from a video I sent to my tester friend. I’ll get it up later but doesn’t show too much.

I agree mate. I have been slacking in getting some photos of the car whilst work has been going on. I will dig out what I have and get them up once I am back from the gym,

It was the jacking points. :smile:

Also mate was reading the thread over the weekend and wanted to tag @Helpimonfire and confirm this car has gone past a simple seat time stallion and money has been poured into it like you said it would at the start of this thread haha!

Reyt then, Where to start with this update. I think the best way to summarise my life the 197 over the past few weeks is stressful. Set myself the goal of getting the car ready for cars and coffee with Steel City Porsche on 10th of Feb. Prior to getting the car done for the track day that...

I’d agree with that but some might say that we’re slightly biased… My mate daily’s a dci clio and sends me photos of it saying it’s mine ironically hahah.

Not a great end to the day but I dare say anyone that has been driving on track and trying to push themselves will have had a incident like this! Like others have said damage is only superficial on appearance... just means you can do a 197 front end swap now ;)

Sorry to hear what happened! Hope you are all okay though.

Cheers guys. I’ll stop being tight and spring some proper pads. Any idea where I can get the mintex @RSRowe ?

I know this a variable on a lot of things but on average; how many track days are people getting from a set of front pads? Daft question time for those that have run multiple pads. Have you noticed a longer life from a more expensive pad? I.e I am currently running PBS Pro Race and they...

What class in Time attack are you running in? Think there is a K Swapped 197 running too. It'll be interesting to see how much time a 10k engine conversion gets you.
