I did aye, was told by another specialist that my syncros were fecked, worst he had seen, Stevie opened it up and saw that they were mint but I had already bought the full set of syncros so smashed em in anyway

just been looking at some videos from Bont earlier in the year, these were taken after most people had left and it was just me and an fn2 there (hey Jordan), we did 2 rear facing videos taking turns to be be filmed

The gopro has such a wide angle lens everything appears further away than it is so I said the lead car should take it easy to allow the following car to safely keep close, I led the 1st run doing just that but all the fn2 ep3 ribbing within the club was let out for the fn2's turn, judge for yourself. . .

at 5:55 I go for it, red car disappears

Ha ha that was last year you must have scared Jordan off he didn't come back to this years lol

Always love the bont weekends probably not the best place to do an ep3 vs fn2!!. I have noticed looking back at old footage we are all getting quicker going around there even though its just a fun weekend.

Been looking into a similar place closer to home just got to see how much and what the regs are but fingers crossed

[bondyboy]

lol it was last year yes, weather this year was poor so footage not the greatest

nice one, see if you can pre book Circuit of Wales

What was the cost if parts for the longer 6th like? Obviously worth doing whilst your in there doing carbon syncros

Yes cheaper than buying from Lings individually, Tegiwa have done it to me again - I figure out what parts are required and get them in, following month Tegiwa start selling their kit, I also bought a gruppem about a month before they announced their version :bad-words:

not bitter

if you've got a shorter final drive on your daily driver then longer 6th is a must, I imagine on standard fd it'll kill 6th and essentially just be a "cruising" gear

Went for a little drive in the Brecon Beacons on Saturday, took a few photos and found a reservoir I've never been to, no idea where as according to my gps I wasn't on a road!











did a silly timelapse while driving around the reservoir:-

anyone who knows where I was please let me know :scratch:

[bondyboy]

a few updates to the engine bay





Skunk2 fuel rail and black rocker cover washers, also fitted a new heat shield for the GruppeM as the old one split in half

Interesting , were you getting a crunch from cold? Mine only does it untill it's up to temp.

I vote for a idle warmup valve delete, you can get a kit with the right bolts in from K-tuned.
