Sorry for the Lack of update for ages but now out of work and have a 6 month ban. Police decided i was doing 100 mph in a yaris that tops out at 90, and tracker saying i was doing 85 but the magistrates threw the book at me. So progress is going to be slow. But here is an update to now with the bits i can remember doing.
Right onto the car.
The bung didn't fit and they didn't make one that would fit.
Managed to get some Accord Type R alloys cheap as chips but looking at the tyres there was no way of me driving on them and according to my friend who i got them with (9 alloys in total) there were a few that are buckled. So a quick spray on the floor to see what they would look like in blue for track and sent them away with him to straighten out.
So it went Brands and i took my chances. Packed loads of tools in the back and met up with the lads for the short drive there.
Loads of crap chucked in
On way down being stalked by Accord Type R
Breakfast (If you come from the M25, there is a breakfast van before you get to the petrol station on the roundabout, we go here all there time, there sausages are amazing!!!!)
So we arrived in the pits, signed on and went for noise test.... to this point i was dreading what was going to happen. When i got to the box, they asked my to rev until it hit the limiter then bring it down. Now my car never pops and bangs and this time....... BANG!
"118DB mate, you are way over the limit, but it was 98 before it hit the limiter so ** put a pass on but you will see me later."
No you wont mate, ** prove you wrong, straight into the puts again and before the day had started she was ars up face down.
Borrowed an angle grinder from a race team a couple of pits along, off came the bumper and to work i went.
Bumper back on to my new jewish stubby can
Reason for this is the top of a bean can is like cupping your mouth and shouting, cutting the tip off will be like shouting without cupping your mouth..... and it worked. And looks pretty cool IMO.
So on with the day. Car performed faultlessly. Handled exactly how i wanted her to. Even on road tyres (Bridgestone RE50) Only problems i had was towards the end of the day i kept getting "Excessive tyre squeal, return to pits" which got really annoying but i think the control tower just wanted to go home.
