Haha gotta keep you on your toes!

Well the sun has been shining, and I've been in the position of having a car ready for track season for a few weeks now! So I'm just tinkering, tweaking and generally enjoying the sun!

I'm chuffed to bits that another EP3 I bought for spares has the one Vibratechnics mount mine was missing, I now have a full set and it cost me nothing! :) New vs old
Image

It's a lot lighter being billet aluminium vs pig iron, but cruicially a lot stiffer and stronger.

All cleaned, painted and fitted, with some nifty plastic dust caps covering the new high tensile bolts
Image

I also changed the auxillary belt while I was in there, managed to source a Quinton Hazell one for £6 delivered. So chuffed with that!

Next I started drilling holes in the passenger footwell, and using a captive nut gun to fire in these threaded inserts like so...
Image

Three fitted in total. It's like using a riveter, you use a mandrel and give it all a squeeze, giving you a lovely threaded insert.
Image

This allowed the fitment of the Panic Pad(tm), a device for trackday passengers who want to brace themselves!
Image

The set of wheels I bought the other week are the wrong offset for my car, so second time lucky hopefully! Picked these up the other day and dropped them straight off for powdercoating white. Should be done this week.
Image

Since fitting the large front splitter, the whole rear end of the car has looked tame in comparison, so I've bought a pretty mad rear spoiler brace, lol
Image

The idea is you can bolt it to the bootlid and run it with a universal wing (which I already have). I'm going to get some large end-plates made for it too. The rationale is simply some high speed stability in fast corners. It's adjustable too, so I can set the angle of attack according to the track.

In prep for this new rear-end I've masked off the rear bumper diffuser panels
Image

Plastidipped them black
Image

Et voila, should match the black rear wing and bracing perfectly
Image

And just another finishing touch, on the edge of the bonnet. So people know they are being beaten by a 2.0 n/a engine!
Image

2 weeks till Cadwell Park and my lap record attempt, stay tuned :)

Okay, few more pics of my cars and girls :lol:

I've had a couple of 911's recently, both with GT3 goodies

The touring car replica I built from scratch a few years back. Started as a plain white Calibra Turbo.

Random pic I took one day

We also do urban exploration, this is the abandoned hospital in Derby City Centre. We spent a day exploring the wards, theatres, kitchens and even the morgue. Made porn in there too.

Sup guys? I'm off to an orgy next week. If anyone's interested, drop me an inbox.

So today I lent a hand to two of the guys coming on the Nurburgring trip. First was Matt's Clio 172, we fitted a set of spherical bearing, solid topmounts along with a strut brace.
Image

The quality of this thing is utter porn! It's from Pure Motorsport if anyone is interested.
Image

Image

Next up I was over in Uttoxeter for my mate's Cavalier Turbo build, which is 95% finished bar the fluids, boost pipes and a steering column. His first trackday will be the Nordscleife!! #brave

My wheels also came back yesterday... not bad for £20 a rim! Many thanks to www.citypowdercoaters.co.uk

Then this happened...
Image

Followed by this
Image

Image

It's proper sturdy, no exaggeration you could tow the car off it. Chuffed :)

New wheels skinned up in R888Rs :) Looking forward to seeing if these live up to the hype.
Image

I've also fitted this billet short shift kit.
Image

It bolts along the top of the shift arm, giving a new pivot point for the shifter cable. The result is a very "clicky" short throw shift. Great mod! Takes only a few minutes to fit, unless you're a **** like me that drops small pieces of it behind the dash during fitting!

Here's my Go Pro, hard wired in with a battery delete kit. This will be my main forward facing camera. I have two other cameras I'll be setting up in the week
