06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

[Cliosport-carl]

Right had a fantastic day I had at curborough on Sunday had handled amazingly and felt lovely few pics and a link of one of the videos of when I got out of shape lol

And I've just ordered a full power flex bush kit with camber adjustable bushes cannot wait to get the kit on but before I do that back to the track next week for another go..

so the plan was to get a new Pure Motosport exhaust however i have managed to find a bargain i have got a miltec with decat and both centre sections for less than £350 posted once i had asked the question if it did come with both pipes i had to have it so the miltec hopefully will be on soon.

Very nice pick-up.

Yay exhaust finally came today few problems however nothing that can't be fixed and the company are hopefully looking to sort something out for me but 1 miltec with all the pipes slight crack in join and repaired box

 

[sevenfourate]

Arghh......thats a pain. And left a little bit of an unsavoury taste im sure.

Still: if you know the right people - it sounds like its no big issue long-term.

Hope you get some suitable recompense !!

 

[Pav]

hope you have it sorted soon..will sound great!!

I see the exhaust came with the resonated and non resonated middle section. Which are you going to fit?

Quick question regarding your video. what did you use to do the video overlay?

I'm going for the non res as I still have the cat in the manifold however for track I will probably get the res on there and with the videos I use camtasia it's a mega program fairly easy to use..

Cheers. I was having a good play with race render last night. Which seems pretty awesome but I'll have a look.

Cheers.

@Cliosport-carl how did you find the rsr's in the wet/damp? I'm looking at trackday tyres and I'm torn between a few.

Ive only ever had rsrs since i was properly into track driving and it was wet at castle combe in my 172 and it was fine in the dry they where epic and in the 197 i dont know if its because im not used to it or i was pushing a bit hard but after it had dried out and started going dark well ill let you see..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Sorry about the video I have had to remove it... but today I made some minor engine modifications



And to finish off the day I gave it a good clean
Again



And got to polish the exhaust I will be finishing it over the weekend.

 

[Cliosport-carl]

had a good old clean over the weekend and it looks much better now.. also had the clean the dads leon which was filthy



i have also had an idea which really goes against the grain and i have never really been keen on wraping so i might give it a go and paint with some plasti cote first but my idea once i get my cup spoiler will go something like this but satin black
