Big Bens non Clio

I hate my stereo surround, so the next task on my list is to do a body colour fascia and trims with the stereo surround blended in purely because mine never did match colour wise and looks horrible
I’m thinking of just getting a cheap 2nd hand oe one. Don’t listen to it much anyhow

I'm the same Ben. Years ago I would switch the radio, cassette player, (remember them?), cd player on as soon as I got in the car. These days I will rarely use it. Don't even use it driving the length of the UK sometimes. Love the sound of the naturally aspirated engine & the Cobra exhaust!

Update: after a few months of deliberating I’ve finally took the plunge and ordered some new Autec Wizard wheels in gunmetal. Having put my anthracite Silverstones on at the weekend I’ve decided to come away from the gold wheels and have 2 sets in anthracite!

These will be my summer/track wheels and will get fresh Yokohama AD08R’s put on.

Wheels are 17 x 7.5j

Looked at OZ wheels but really wasn’t prepared to stump up over a grand.

These should be close to 2kg a corner less than my current wheels which is not insignificant.

More pics to follow once they’re on.

Good choice. I've seen these on an RB 197 and they look great, they sit perfectly with the et45 offset

Cheers Sean. Effectively 23mm spaced out over standard wheel so should sit right. Hoping there’s no scrubbing issues on track!
 
Donington update:

Fantastic day out. Up there with the most fun I’ve had doing a TD.
Conditions were dry and clear throughout. Lots of red flags unfortunately but they tended to coincide with me being in the pits so didn’t effect me that much!

Great to meet new faces off the forum. Was a very good turnout.
Some lovely cars on show.

Roll on Sunday at Snetterton

Some obligatory photos as ever....

The car looks great on track, Ben! Really glad you enjoyed it mate, and always good to meet new faces. You're really racking up those track miles now!

Thanks Jimmy. Really enjoying the friendly vibe at trackdays at the minute. Car is (dare I say it) really performing well which adds to the fun. Long may it continue

Back end looks great now Ben, diffuser really finishes it off nicely. Shame I'll only see the front of the car in my rear view this weekend :tearsofjoy:
Maybe you’ll get a look at the rear each time you lap me:grinning:

Yep happy with the rear diffuser. Lots more ideas in the pipeline
