06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

[Cliosport-carl]

My goodness I'm on page 2 again... well big news Me and the Mrs have been saving for ages. And with interest rates as they are and saving a ton of money by not going out we have decided its time to get out of here and have put a deposit down on a house.. sadly this means things will change but hopefully I'll still get my track day fix and I'm still Jamie's pit cheif for the civic cup so will definitely enjoy that..

But for the mean time.. I've been back at work now since May and its been hectic however I have been driving the car everyday and boy I do love this thing.. had a quick checkover today ready for Donington on Tuesday and after this think I'll be getting some new tyres and pads.

Also got a new sticker.. if you know you know..

so had an epic time at Donnington Park the other day got some videos and pictures and well had a little accident..

Even managed to get out in this bad boy..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

and now back to the accident.. we all know I got close to the cone last time..

Well this time

However after a quick clean and polish



Its all gone and ready to fight another day.. I was annoyed with the go pros but have managed to fix the "jump" in the video feed..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Last few weeks have been stressful to say the least with the civic cup going down however had a stunning result for his first ever race. Qualifying we got 3rd race 1 we got 4th and race 2 5th so amazing first ever race..



And hear is the video from race one there was a little issue can you spot it ??

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Anyway that was the civic.. there is something mega on the horizon though..



I'll just leave this here..

Sorry to keep you all in suspense ive been badgering Nick at PMS for this kit for ever and have been asking about it every time I call up and well the other day he told me he had a test one avaliable and wanted me to fit it and set it up with no instructions and well do my thing.. the item is not finished and there are some bits that need to be fixed and changed but its amazing.. the shift feels so positive I think I do need some very minor adjustment here are some more pictures of the shifter itself..

Sadly I can't show the mechanics of the whole thing just yet buy its certainly a piece of kit




Also got some toe shims to straighten out the back end and Jesus the cars now a bit fun on the rear..



Also got some adjustable antiroll bar links to to on..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

More bits fitted today.. adjustable drop links.. had a little faff and had to chop the ends as they are to long due to the extra casta but took it out for a drive..

Feels good but ill take it for a tomorrow to really play around I took the car for a long drive yesterday and after fitting the toe shims so now its only got 10 minutes of toe in had really made the backend feel nice.

 

[RSRowe]

Where did you get the links from??

 

[lewishunter98]

Would also like to know where you got those drop links!

@lewishunter98 @RSRowe i know the saying buy cheap buy twice but I thought this will save me lots of money if it acctually works as a test and they do some polly ones ( with a blue cover) god knows the difference?? but the link is below I decided to set mine to the lower option that euro give as a st of links and it felt better but I was still loving the back end with that toe correction but at least I can adjust it if needed also ive now done abouot 100 miles on them and they seam ok ill be jacking up and checking everthing in about 100 miles as im checking the shifter over also.

You jammy bugger, i've been badgering Nick for ages about this too Any chance of a side my side comparison to the OEM shifter so we can see how much taller the PMS one is?

Hi Carl have you had Ben set your car up (string theory)? Was it worth it?

TIA

Clio is looking great as always mate.
I thought i’d seen you doing some racing in the Civic on Instagram this weekend, then I thought i’d imagined it until popping on here for a mooch.
Be interested in reading some racing updates too!

Not yet it is something I'm looking into but its just got a stock alignment on from a garage I know.

Not a massive update today however after having massive trouble with the golf and its subframe and kinda running out of mot I decided just to give mine a once over and well got new pads and 2 new tyres on order lol
but I'm going to be trying some PBS pro race pads but will change them at Donington at the end of the month.
